The Bijlmer Park Theater in Amsterdam designed by Architect Paul de Ruiter

I came across a critique of this project on the Archicentral Blog, which is a good source of industry news and information.   The building is at once visually pleasing and interesting, but that is just the beginning.  As described in the text below, the architect pushes the envelope in so many meaningful and personal ways, qualifying this build
