THE DEBRIS COLLECTOR
H.Th. Wijdeveld. 15 Miles into the Earth, 1944. NAI Collection, WIJD 470 It cannot be denied that Wijdeveld’s attitude was experimental. Especially in the latter years of his life he concentrated on large-scale, utopian projects in which he was seeking for a new relationship between mankind, nature and culture. He situated this 1944 design for an international geological research centre in a shaft in the earth at a depth of 15 miles. Source: Collectie Nederlands Architectuurinstituut
