Sjoerd Soeters

Dutch architect (born 1947)

Sjoerd Soeters practised at a period when the terms of architecture itself were under argument.

The record lists Sjoerd Soeters as Dutch architect (born 1947).

Sjoerd Soeters was born at Nes in 1947. His recorded nationality is Kingdom of the Netherlands. He trained at Eindhoven University of Technology.

Post-war architecture built at state scale: housing, new towns and civic megastructures, with results that are still being judged.

He is recorded as architect, urban planner and designer.

Buildings outlast their architects and usually their purposes, which is what makes the discipline unforgiving.

That the work was built in Kingdom of the Netherlands shaped it: climate, materials, planning law and who holds the budget all decide what can actually be built.
