This book presents the building of the new Dutch Embassy within the city of Maputo, with design drawings by Claus and Kaan Architecten and photographs by Christian Richters and Maarten Laupman. The position of the building in the city and the urban planning peculiarities of the city Maputo are addressed in a contribution by Mozambican architect José Forjaz, while the building itself is described by Hans Ibelings. The specific conditions in which this unique project was built are described by project managers Rob Gaunt and Jan Willem Smit. A concise guide to the architecture of the city of Maputo is a useful and interesting complement to these texts.
