    Greetings from... Berlin
    One persistent illusion about Berlin is that it’s a city full of wonderful and interesting architecture. The ostentatious Potsdamer Platz may attract over 100,000 visitors a day, but you won’t find any appealing architecture there. Various dictators and dictatorships succeeded in leaving their mark on the city, and so experimentation is now shunned.

    So don’t expect any architectural experiments in Berlin, except for the Dutch Embassy by OMA and the Jewish Museum by Daniel Libeskind. What you will find is tidy, straightforward development that respects the building lines. Luckily there are plenty…

    Hi-Ha-Happening
    Museum Night marked the opening of the installation/event Happening at the NAi. Is it back to the 1960s for the NAi? In one sense, perhaps. It’s certainly an attempt to break with the traditional exhibition. Activities, experiences and audience participation now set the tone.
    ArchiNed.nl – news
    While 2007 was something of a transitional year that looked to the past with big, largely traditional exhibitions on Le Corbusier and Cuypers, the NAi is definitely looking to the future in 2008. In addition to the NAi’s institutional tasks of inform…

    (Un)bearable lightness
    During the summer months the Serpentine Gallery in London exhibits architecture on its lawn in the form of a temporary pavilion. This year’s design is by Rem Koolhaas and Cecil Balmond (Arup). At the start of July around two thousand champagne-drinking guests rigged out in cocktail-party gear attended the opening of the pavilion.
    ArchiNed.nl – news
    The temporary pavilion on the grass in front of the Serpentine Gallery is an architecture exhibition of the 1:1 variety. It’s no representation in the form of drawings or models but a real building in which the architect’s intentions ca…

    OMA two times winner
    Rem Koolhaas' office OMA won the design competition for the extension of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. OMA's proposal consists in the demolishing of the pavilion-like buildings and replaces them with a vast structure. The second winning OMA design is for a theatre in Dallas.

    The LACMA is a complex of different buildings. In the last 36 years the museum gradually expanded with new buildings or additions to existing buildings. The architects' mandate was to transform the many buildings into a cohesive design. Besides Rem K…

    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.
    ArchiNed.nl – news
    Roemer van Toorn introduced Dubai with a quote from the American writer Mike Davis. In his article ‘Fear and Money in Dubai’ (New Left Review, 2006), Davis writes that Dubai is one big gated community, a neo-liberal dream turned real in…
