In 1998 an unusual building was designed by the team of architects MVRDV as the premises of VPRO, one of the main broadcasting companies in the Netherlands. The design process and the present VPRO building, plus an extension project inside the Hilversum Mediapark, are shown in this book. However, architecture can also be reviewed in other ways, and in this volume the everyday life of the VPRO building is also narrated as short stories written by a selection of authors. These stories are like sitcoms that recount events in the villa, melting together media and architecture. "Big Brother" already existed in this book before it later became a TV hit.
