In the form of a triptych, three places in three different regions of the Netherlands are associated with each other. In their appearance and the way they are used these newly designed and built environments reflect the efforts of people in contemporary culture. The three selected places include the known spectrum of living, working, relaxing. Each site has an extreme, monomaniac character by a one-sided focus on one of these specific activities. This brings a kind of absurdity to light and a downside of the endeavor.
