| Summary: | In a way, this book can be regarded as a manuscript. A bundle of translated texts, essays, interviews and images selected from among the numerous suggestions and various submissions from the author, which in the end failed to receive his authorization. It is the culmination of the final project undertaken by Rotterdam-based architect Maurice Nio before losing a long-running battle with cancer in July 2023. Designed by Thomas Buxó, the book is a white version of what Nio calls his black bible. Instead of writing on that which is secret, obscure, black and elusive, he now addresses that which is shining, clear, whiter than white and obvious. |
