“Whenever I walk past a building whose plaster has chipped off – and there are lots of them as Willemstad is a city in the midst of restoration fever – I search for the chunks of coral stone in the wall. I’ve quickly learned to look for the telltale polyp patterns in the exposed sand, like fossils in man-made shale.” – Philip Preville (enRoute, Air Canada magazine, article titled: “Curaçao’s Modernist Dutch Architecture”)
