Text description provided by the architects. Residential tower 'De Verkenner' in Utrecht (NL) gives a big impetus to the development of the typical post-war reconstruction district Kanaleneiland. The 50-metre-tall building, with a mixed programme of housing, acts as a gatekeeper to this area. The 'slow-made' concrete facade with an incorporated poetry artwork gives a unique identity to the building.
