  • Thin Line between being Radical and Naive
    Take one of the assigned plots in Antwerp, Belgium and create a design for the headquarters of the Flemish nationalist political party Vlaams Belang. Or draw a concept for it’s rather extreme Islamic opponent AEL (Arabic European League). How should architects operate in such political, ethnic or religious matters? Is there a role for them at all? Is architecture ‘neutral’ and only about aesthetics or is it acceptable that spaces and buildings propagate implicit or explicit messages? If so, to what extend? Maybe architects even can assist in bridging the gap between different ethnic and socio-political groups?

  • Architecture and Power
    ‘Instant City: The Rise of Dubai’ was the title of the first lecture at the Berlage Institute on Tuesday March 13 in a series that focuses on the relation between architecture, power and political correctness. The announcement promised that the evening would mostly be about social and economic inequalities in this rapidly growing desert city in the Persian Gulf. But alas this wasn’t the case, either in the introductions by Kees Christiaanse and George Katodrytis or in the succeeding discussion.

  • Greg Lynn recites from his own work
    Architects like to plan their use of time systematically. Le Corbusier divided his day into three parts - for painting, architecture and urban planning. Greg Lynn devotes 30% of his time to teaching, 30% to commercial commissions and 30% to research. No doubt it was during the remaining 10% that he wrote the sci-fi story he recited at the Berlage Institute. Jeroen Mensink reports.

    Building ProcessThough even his complex forms cause many a mouth to drop open in wonderment, Greg Lynn's design method is every bit as interesting as the end result. In recent years, however, his pioneering work has shifted emphasis - spurred no doub…
