BNO PIET ZWART LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT AWARD OF THE DUTCH DESIGN AWARDS:
MARIJKE VAN DER WIJST (FORMER HEAD OF MAN AND PUBLIC SPACE)
Marijke van der Wijst is an exceptionally disciplined designer, who cannot be captured in any design discipline. Her oeuvre is extensive and wide in scope, the design itself attests to severity and restraint. We commend the way in which she shapes her collaboration with clients, her contribution to the education of young designers – encouraging, inspiring, and critical – and her role in the board of BNO. She has made a significant contribution to the development of the professional field.
