- Report from China
The volume of reporting on the rampant growth of Chinese cities is causing a sense of China fatigue. But the country remains fascinating nonetheless. Despite the credit crunch, economic growth is still strong. Much of the attention will shift to the countryside in the coming years, and that is badly needed since China is still a largely agrarian society, writes Harry den Hartog from Shanghai.ArchiNed.nl – news
Family connections have brought me to China every year since the millennium and enabled me to observe developments from near at hand and far away and see the country change with great leaps. Eight years ago there wasn’t a single car in the village of…

- Venice (3): Architecture without Building?
Entitled Out There: Architecture Beyond Building, the 11th Venice Architecture Biennale aims to give new meaning to what we call architecture. ‘Architecture is not building,’ writes director Aaron Betsky in an essay, ‘Buildings are objects and the act of building leads to such objects, but architecture is something else.’ArchiNed.nl – news
Architecture must do more than provide shelter for us. Architecture must offer us a secure home in the confusing modern reality. With this biennale Aaron Betsky wants to stimulate experiments and show how we can establish (new) relationships between …

- Venice (2) the national pavilions
Out There: Architecture Beyond Building is the motto of the 11th Venice Architecture Biennale.

- Venice (1) the Dutch pavilion: Talking and Working
During the opening days the Dutch pavilion was brimming with (invisible) ideas. The theme of the installation by curators Ana Dzokic and Marc Neelen (Stealth.ultd) and Saskia van Stein (NAi) was to reflect once again on the Faculties (in the sense of capacities) for Architecture. What is architecture capable of, ‘before and beyond building’? What alternative practices are there and how can these be incorporated into architectural education?ArchiNed.nl – news
Such questions were exhaustively discussed by some fifty national and international guests through a number of ‘discussion media’ (round table talks, speed dates, keynote lectures and a workshop). But apart from all the talking, there was mostly work…

- Greetings from... Bogotá
With a population of seven million people, Bogotá DC is the fourth largest city in South America and the capital of Colombia. The joys and nuisances of the country are present here in full force and amplified form. In the case of Colombia, there are quite a few of them.ArchiNed.nl – news
First of all, Colombia is a festive country. No matter where you order a drink or a juice, it’ll always be served with a straw – even in expensive restaurants and even as a handy stirring implement with tea or coffee. What’s more, a daily dose of Sal…

- Destination: Paradise
NAi director Ole Bouman introduced his predecessor Aaron Betsky as a man of many guises: critic, museum director, curator of the Venice Architecture Biennale, travelling salesman.

Betsky’s presentation was lively and persuasive. His story started with a phone call from Mister Baratta. 'I’ve a problem. Can you help?,' Baratta asked. 'Maybe, but who are you?,' answered Betsky. Baratta turned out to be director of the Biennale di…

- Visionary Power 1
The International Architecture Biennale Rotterdam kicked off on Friday May 25 with the two-day conference Visionary Power.

The turnout for both days was somewhat disappointing. Were architects too busy working? Or were they enjoying a long Pentecost weekend? The room has only half filled, mainly with speakers, most of them architects attached to schools and architects fr…
