ANNE HOLTROP

A beautiful study model from Anne Holtrop. Commissioned by the Ministry of Housing, Spatial Planning and the Environment at The Hague, Anne Holtrop has completed a theoretical study concerning safety within embassies. Holtrop: "What I tried to do is to develop two ideas in models to give a broader insight in this question." The pair of models - Retreat I & Retreat II - explore the dual meaning of the word retreat, that can have both positive (relaxation) and negative (defensive) connotations.
