Ein Werk in transparenter Klarheit und geometrischer Ordnung hat Wiel Arets zu einem der einflussreichsten Architekten Europas gemacht. In der Tradition Louis I. Kahns wahren seine Werke trotz ihrer Strenge einen menschlichen Maßstab: sie wirken kraftvoll, aber nicht anmaßend. Arets‘ großes Interesse gilt der Hülle des Gebäudes: Als Membran bestimmt sie je nach Wahl der innovativen Materialien das Maß der Durchlässigkeit und wirkt als Filter. Damit einher geht eine große Sensibilität für den urbanen Kontext. Das Buch stellt Arets‘ wichtigste Bauten und Projekte vor, unter ihnen die Akademie für Kunst und Architektur in Maastricht, das Hauptgebäude der AZL Pensionskasse in Heerlen sowie einige neuere Projekte, die hier erstmals veröffentlicht werden. Eine Auswahl aus Arets‘ eigenen Schriften sowie kritische Essays von Xavier Costa, Anthony Vidler, Greg Lynn, Stan Allen und Bart Lootsma ergänzen diese Werkdokumentation. Die Fotografien stammen von Hélène Binet.
The book offers a unique and unparalleled in-depth view of this internationally renowned architect. Arets optimistic outlook towards the future, wich he calls " a wonderful world: a new map of the world," lectures on theta topic, debates between him an other thinkers and makers. 80 exemplary designs from his studio, abd an extensive series of interviews with Arets. Within these texts his background, education, projects, abd teachings are interwoven in a discussion that highlights the evolution of this career.

A monograph on the architecture and design studio of Wiel Arets, ?Nature is Nature? encompasses drawings, images, diagrams, texts, theories, sketches, and more. In his work and philosophy, Arets engages with the relations between humans and nature, interior and exterior, and the experience of the body moving through space within a series of prescribed cinematographic sequences. It is this circulation and routing in his oeuvre, and the ergonomics of interaction with his industrial designs, which is the key feature that defines the studio. The publication gathers signature projects by Arets alongside thoughtful essays, together allowing unique insight into his design approach.
