Jón Kristinsson (Reykjavik, 1936) is the godfather of sustainable building in the Netherlands and probably elsewhere in the world.

This was decided upon because of the complex social, spatial

and physical issues that many districts in large cities are facing

and the urge to react on these issues with research based design

within the awareness of the cultural significance of those threatened

areas.

The mentioned complexity f...
