Eerlijk en confronterend. Een kijkje achter de schermen bij een architectenbureau; de werkwijze, frustatie, euforie en de context waaruit alles is voortgekomen.

Architectural history often remains silent on the subject of how architecture is born. The VMX Architects Agenda demonstrates that this very aspect can be instructive. Within its pages VMX Architects ask: What is it that constitutes our firm? Who or what has shaped us, influenced us, has continued to inspire us? Leafing through ten years of office diaries they identify influences from their student years, from architectural discourse, social context and daily practice. Memories, facts, speculations and anecdotes take turns in a narrative that is both unique and generic. It is the personal history of VMX, but also the description of occurrences familiar to every architect. The sum total is a story of well-spent time, lost time, gained time and of ideals over time. The VMX Agenda is the truth, 'inasmuch as truth is what we produce'.
