  • Euro Islam Architecture
    As public debate on the best way to integrate Moslems in non-Islamic society grows more intense, the critical debate in architecture on the best way to stimulate integration through design is also becoming more heated. In his book Euro Islam Architecture: New Mosques of the Occident, Christian Welzbacher tries to elevate the discussion to a higher level.

    Put simply, some critics propagate a preference for modern-looking mosques without embellishments; cupolas and minarets are deemed superfluous because they are out of sync with the climate or technology of their new surroundings. The visibility of su…

  • Charles Jencks, Strange Attractor
    After the lecture by Charles Jencks, delivered at the NAi Maastricht on March 13, a former student of Delft University of Technology asked me if a snapshot was taken of Jencks. 'He is an icon', she continued. 'Twenty years ago it was all theory, and look what he does now!'
    ArchiNed.nl – news
    In this article, I try to take seriously Jencks’s remark that culture should find an iconographic language to connect us to the universe. Jencks’s lectures, answers and gardens seem to resemble the cosmos when it comes to beginnings, centres and ends…

    On Friday October 28 the Rotterdam Maaskant Prize for Young Architects 2005 was presented to Oliver Thill, one of the two architects who head up the Rotterdam-based ‘expat’ office Atelier Kempe Thill.
