Innovative solutions full of character distinguish the buildings of BOLLES+WILSON. Infused with strategic invention and at the same time contently fulfilling
their function they are conceived in relation to site and context. BOLLES+WILSON invent strong images, which establish a reference datum that gives
measure to their often times diffuse urban settings.

Taking care of all scales:


The New Luxor Theatre
Rotterdam, The Netherlands 19962001
as an actor on the urban stage and
the Luxor Font by the Dutch design team L5

The New Luxor Theatre in Rotterdam exemplifies this integral approach: external quay landscaping, iconic building and staged interiors which frame
panoramic harbour views for theatregoers sitting in BOLLES+WILSON designed chairs.
Innovative und charaktervolle Lsungen kennzeichnen die Bauten von BOLLES+WILSON. Durchdrungen von strategischem Einfallsreichtum erfllen sie gleichzeitig in vollem Mae ihre funktionalen
Anforderungen; dabei ist jedes Gebude im Zusammenhang von jeweiligem Ort und Kontext konzipiert. BOLLES+WILSON entwerfen starke Bilder sie etablieren einen Bezugspunkt, der in einer oft
diffusen stdtebaulichen Situation einen Mastab setzt. Das Neue Luxor Theater in Rotterdam steht exemplarisch fr diese ganzheitliche Herangehensweise: die Kaigestaltung auen, das stark bildhafte
Gebude, inszenierte Innenrume, die den Blick des Theaterbesuchers einrahmen, whrend er sich auf Sthlen von BOLLES+WILSON das Hafenpanorama anschaut.

The architecture of BOLLES+WILSON reflects complex and varying cultural and sociological situations. Sometimes urban in its contextural responsibility,
sometimes pragmatic and compensatory in relation to unstable contexts they all address the issue of identity this is in masterplan exercises and for the
spatial sequences of buildings and interiors.
Die Architektur von BOLLES+WILSON spiegelt komplexe und sich verndernde kulturelle und soziologische Situationen wieder. Mal nimmt sie die Verantwortung fr den innenstdtischen Kontext wahr,
mal wirkt sie in einem instabilen Umfeld pragmatisch und kompensierend; in jedem Fall sind die Entwrfe eine Aussage zur Frage der Identitt des Ortes in Masterplan Arbeiten wie in rumlichen
Sequenzen von Bauten und Innenrumen.
