We are pleased to bring attention to the book Dutch Mountains that focuses on Francine Houben from and her inspiring work that spans the globe. We have featured Mecanoo Architecten before and you can see them here.  Houben came to architecture like many great young architects who are driven by social idealism.  “Uplifting the people, contributing to quality of life—that was the great goal.” Among being named Business Woman of the Year in Netherlands in 2008, Houben still works for social idealism. Houben says about her Birmingham library, “I want to create cohesion among the ethnic diversity of the city and the traces of its industrial past.”
