Below: from a 1998 interview of Winny Maas and Jacob van Rijs conducted by Bettina Grunschel, available at IAZ.
BG: You Winy and Jacob worked both with Rem Koolhaas. His Edukatorium in Utrecht and your VPRO share certain apparent parallels.
Winy Maas: They were both designed more or less in the same period, one year after Jussieu, three years after Agadir. It was as if these designs had to be confirmed, not only in OMA or in our office, but as well in other offices like Alejandro Zaera and Farshid Moussavi's.
Note: Le Corbusier's Palais des Congrès is the design that was actually confirmed.
