Covering often as much as seven acres, the vast ridge-and-furrow
glasshouses of Holland's horticultural conglomerates have become almost a
local vernacular across much of the Netherlands.
Their repetitive crystalline
linearity, punctuated periodically by tall boiler flues, has contributed a bold
new form to the landscape, as powerful in its evocation of place as the flat
expanse of the polders or the sunken network of water-filled dykes. It was
this landscape that the new headquarters for the European Patent Office
(EPO) was to be set into.
