  • TEAMWORK – Coastal zone in Almere Poort
    Adri Duivesteijn, alderman for physical planning and housing, opened the exhibition TEAMWORK in Museum De Paviljoens in Almere on October 31. It’s called ‘teamwork’ because the local authority invited three property developers to present proposals for the development of the Coastal Zone in Almere Poort, and because Museum De Paviljoens set three teams of artists to work with the same programme.
    ArchiNed.nl – news
    The first versions of the six proposals are currently on show, and the definitive designs will go on show from January 24, 2009, on. In the run-up to the presentation of the definitive plans, the people of Almere have been invited to give their views…

  • More for less: An optimistic strategy of renewal in sombre times
    The publication PLUS: Large Scale Housing Development - an Exceptional Case makes a convincing argument for the renewal of big housing complexes in France. In the Dutch situation the PLUS strategy can complement the current, one-sided discussion on the renewal of the post-war city.
    ArchiNed.nl – news
    In their practice, the three authors – French architects Frédéric Druot, Anne Lacaton and Jean-Philippe Vassal – work on making careful and continuous changes to the existing city. To them, total demolition followed by new construction is not an opti…

  • Crisis of identity
    Le Medi, a Mediterranean neighbourhood consisting of 93 dwellings in the Rotterdam district of Bospolder designed by Geurst & Schulze Architects, was completed this year.
    ArchiNed.nl – news
    A visit to Le Medi made me ask myself the following question. What was the assignment that Woonbron Maasoevers housing association set for the architect to achieve this result? Or was it: Make a housing complex in a Mediterranean style that is more i…

  • Merchant mentality in The Promised Land
    Where do you start when you’re commissioned to design a new city in Asia or Russia? How do you deal with cultural differences, regulations and language? These questions formed the starting point for an evening programme organised by the International New Town Institute to examine urban development in Asia.
    ArchiNed.nl – news
    The first public gathering of the International New Town Institute took place on Tuesday evening May 27 at the Kunstlinie art centre in Almere, organised in conjunction with Casla architecture centre. The aim of the International New Town Institute i…

  • Architecture and Happiness
    Car drivers who don’t read traffic signs but find their way with the help of points of recognition and buildings along the roadside will have to be extra careful from April 4 onwards. That’s when the Revolving House starts turning on the Hasselt roundabout in Tilburg. The idea for this house that revolves with the traffic comes from John Körmeling, who will also build the Dutch pavilion for the Expo 2010 in Shanghai.
    ArchiNed.nl – news
    Tilburg is another town with ambitious plans to present itself as a place of culture, and so it asked Körmeling to make a work of art. As an ode to the terrace house with through living room, the Eindhoven architect came up with a version that rides …

  • 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…

  • Revitalising Modernist Heritage
    One hundred modernistic structures in the Netherlands were designated as monuments last year. But what should we do with this modern heritage? On December 15, 2007, the symposium Forward! On the Revitalisation of Modern Architecture took place at the SMART Project Space in Amsterdam. Major differences of opinion emerged between architects, theorists and artists on the significance and value of modernism. Artists in particular offered interesting suggestions for revitalising modernist heritage.
    ArchiNed.nl – news
    It became clear during the symposium that each speaker not only interpreted modernism differently but also approached the revitalisation of heritage in a different way. For one speaker modernism was a movement linked the major socialist ideals, for a…

  • Architecture 3.0 or Architecture is there to be destroyed
    ‘He’s not showing any buildings,’ whispered the person next to me a little too smugly. After all, Willem-Jan Neutelings had shown during the Architecture 2.0 symposium that you can talk architecture without showing buildings. But was NAi director Ole Bouman talking about architecture on January 10?
    ArchiNed.nl – news
    ‘Do you want to be relevant?’, was Ole Bouman’s rhetorical opening. ‘Yes’, nodded his audience. Of course, agreed Bouman, and he then showed them five ways to be relevant.  - You keep doing your work like you’ve always done- You try to be contemporar…

  • Architecture Biennale Sao Paulo 2007

Alex van de Beld of architecture firm Onix, one of the participants in the Dutch presentation, visited the Biennale and explored the favelas.
