Maurice Nio

Maurice Nio (1959) graduated in 1988 from the Faculty of Architecture of TU Delft, his thesis project being a villa for Michael Jackson: the most peculiar thesis project that year. This project has been of vital importance to his hybrid approach. Through a mixture of mythological and pragmatic mental processes, cryptic and at the same time utterly transparent design strategies, he has realized projects at BDG Architekten Ingenieurs (1991-1996), such as the enormous waste incinerator aviTwente. Since 2000 he operates from his own design studio NIO architecten (www.nio.nl). His books “You Have the Right to Remain Silent” (1998) and “Unseen I Slipped Away” (2004), just as his exhibition “SNAKE SPACE”, were very successful. His upcoming book “The Rule of Passion in Architecture” will released by the end of 2016.
