  • Searching for spatial justice – without architects
    The relevance of French philosopher Henri Lefebvre to contemporary architectural theory and practice formed the subject of a three-day conference that took place at Delft University of Technology on November 11-13. What the few architects in attendance mainly learned was how to look at the city in Lefebvre’s way, not how to change it.

    Entitled ‘Rethinking Theory, Space and Production: Henri Lefebvre Today’, the conference reflected the huge revival of interest in the work of Lefebvre today, which most architects are perhaps unaware of. However, if there’s one twentieth-century phi…

    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…

    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.
    ArchiNed.nl – news
    Given that Koolhaas thinks of the Berlage as his back garden, we weren't in for a real presentation but simply some 'collected material'. It began in very serious fashion. Who starts a lecture by showing a picture of the Parthenon? He does. It turned…
