The So­viet go­vern­ment re­no­va­ted Arbat Street in the 1960s, trans­for­ming nar­row, win­ding streets into a broad, mo­dern bou­le­vard. The So­viets in­ten­ded Arbat to be a show­case tho­rough­fare in Moscow, the ca­pi­tal of the for­mer So­viet Union. The street is cha­rac­te­ri­zed by blocks of apart­ment buil­dings, with re­tail and re­si­den­tial space, li­ning one side of the street and tall, con­tem­porary of­fice buil­dings fa­c­ing them. The Rus­sian go­vern­ment of­fices and le­gis­la­ture also are lo­ca­ted on Arbat Street.

    Neurath’s open-source urbanism
    Stroom De Haag recently staged an exhibition on the work of Austrian economist, sociologist and philosopher Otto Neurath (1882-1945) entitled After Neurath – The Language of the Global Polis. Under the motto ‘better late than never’, here follows an introduction to the grandfather of open-sources.

    After Neurath is an event that seems to grow as spontaneously as the urban development envisaged by Neurath. For two years now – one year longer than planned – Stroom has been programming activities about this idealist. I visited the most recent exhi…

    Architecture with a flavour
    Last Monday Erick van Egeraat gave a lecture on landscape and architecture in Theater Het Oude Raadhuis in Hoofddorp. In attendance at the lecture, organised by the Podium for Architecture in the municipality of Haarlemmermeer, were both architects and others from outside the profession. Reason enough, therefore, for Erick van Egeraat to outline in somewhat populist yet certainly flamboyant style his views on architecture and landscape as a ‘big impact on a small scale’.

    Architecture with a flavour The first part of his lecture focused on what makes architecture 'good'. For Van Egeraat it is precisely the unnecessary accessories and decorative elements that give architecture its particular flavour, and that's the rea…

    Shin Takamatsu gave a lecture at the Berlage Institute. Japanese architecture is back in fashion again. Last autumn the Berlage staged an exhibition on trends in European and Japanese architecture, and the University of Technology in Delft is currently running a lecture series devoted to Japanese design practice.
