  • ‘It makes a difference to make art’
    Artist Olafur Eliasson gave a wonderful lecture in front of a packed auditorium at the NAi on Tuesday evening, March 5, 2007. Luckily, he didn’t talk about the announced theme – ‘structure’ as one of the seven pillars of architecture – but he did talk about his work and, especially, the ideas behind it.

  • Design for coals
    Just a two-hour drive from Rotterdam is the Ruhrgebiet landscape and culture park, whose main attraction is Zollverein in Essen. With the completion of OMA’s conversion of the Coal Refinery and SANAA's new Zollverein School, the transformation of this former industrial site is starting to take shape.

  • Rem Koolhaas in the Berlage
    On February 7 in a packed Berlage Institute - it's about time they got round to making a decent lecture theatre there - Rem Koolhaas delivered the final lecture in the Projective Theory series that started with Peter Eisenman on October 11 last year.

  • Team 10: (In Search of) A Utopia of the Present
    Myths, tall stories, tales of adventure: no shortage of them when it comes to Team 10. But fact and fiction are pulled apart in the recently issued book 'Team 10, 1953-81, In Search of a Utopia of the Present', on the new website Team10-Online, and in the major exhibition now on show at the NAi.

  • 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?

  • Casa da Música Porto by OMA
    For many years, new noticeable objects in the urban landscape of Porto have been ruled by consumerism, with shopping malls and speculative housing complexes, and by the established codes of the Porto School, with Álvaro Siza as the foreman. The new millennium starts with Koolhaas' appearance shaking things up.
