Anne Holtrop (b. 1977, The Netherlands) studied architecture at the Academy of Architecture in Amsterdam from 1999 to 2005. After graduation, and still resident in Amsterdam, Holtrop set up his own practice, being twice awarded grants from the Netherlands Foundation for Visual Arts, Design and Architecture, known in the Netherlands as Fonds BKVB, as well as receiving the Charlotte Köhler Prize for Architecture from the Prince Bernhard Cultural Foundation in 2008. In 2009 he joined an artist in residence in Tokyo and in 2011 in Seoul. He is a visiting lecturer and external critic at various art and architecture academies and is editor of OASE, an independent architectural journal for architecture. His work is exhibited in the Nouveau Musée Nationale de Monaco (MC), Gemeentemuseum The Hague (NL), Ludwig Forum Aachen (D), NAI Rotterdam (NL), Museum De Paviljoens (NL) and Tokyo Wonder Site (JP).
