- 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.ArchiNed.nl – news
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…

- Greetings from Istanbul
‘We have often witnessed peoples, societies and nations outside the Western world – and I can identify with them easily – succumbing to fears that sometimes lead them to commit stupidities, all because of their fears of humiliation and their sensitivities. I also know that in the West – a world with which I can identify with the same ease – nations and peoples taking an excessive pride in their wealth, and in their having brought us the Renaissance, the Enlightenment, and Modernism, have, from time to time, succumbed to a self-satisfaction that is almost as stupid.’ (Orhan Pamuk)ArchiNed.nl – news
Istanbul is, indeed, the place for identifying with the beauties and stupidities of different worlds simultaneously. A timeless cliché, but true: Istanbul is a cradle of dualities. Here, not only East and West but also informal and formal, tolerance …

- Greetings from... Berlin
One persistent illusion about Berlin is that it’s a city full of wonderful and interesting architecture. The ostentatious Potsdamer Platz may attract over 100,000 visitors a day, but you won’t find any appealing architecture there. Various dictators and dictatorships succeeded in leaving their mark on the city, and so experimentation is now shunned.ArchiNed.nl – news
So don’t expect any architectural experiments in Berlin, except for the Dutch Embassy by OMA and the Jewish Museum by Daniel Libeskind. What you will find is tidy, straightforward development that respects the building lines. Luckily there are plenty…

- Innovative hotel chain examined
A new hotel is rising rapidly right next to the departure hall at Schiphol Airport. Luxury, just like all the other hotels at Schiphol, but without the exorbitant room-rate demanded by most other hotels in the area. What’s the secret behind the new Citizen M hotel chain? A team from Booosting examined the innovative construction method of this hotel.ArchiNed.nl – news
Small rooms with a lot of luxury: that’s the formula behind Citizen M. »If you’re in town for a short stay, then you certainly don’t want a big luxury room with all the extras«, argues Jeroen Vester of Amsterdam design firm Concrete, ‘but the alterna…

- Optical Spectacle
The Ciné-bal that Theo van Doesburg designed for the Aubette leisure centre in Strasbourg in 1926 was way ahead of its time. The hall not only offered space for various forms of entertainment such as dancing, dining, films and music but also created a fitting atmosphere. Van Doesburg deployed colour in particular to enhance the mood because ‘without colour, architecture lacks expression and is blind’. The colours practically jump off the pages of the original design drawings for the Ciné-bal and the Salle des Fêtes, now on show at the NAi along with a number of historical photos and scale models.ArchiNed.nl – news
From 1926 onwards Van Doesburg worked with husband and wife Hans Arp and Sophie Täuber. They were initially commissioned for the project but asked him to assist in renovating the interior of the eighteenth-century Aubette. The barracks, converted int…

‘Europe’ turned 50 last weekend: perfect timing.

Symposium organisers Vinca Kruk and Daniel van der Velden (Meta Haven: Design Research) explain the significance of this building.ArchiNed.nl – news

- 2ABBeijing
Every self-respecting country has an Architecture Biennale of its own nowadays. In Beijing (China) the 2ABBeijing (Architecture Biennale Beijing) took place from 26 September to 6 October. As is usually the case with architecture biennales, the themes may have been big, but most of the presentations paid no attention to them whatsoever.ArchiNed.nl – news
The story is familiar to everyone by now. Last year the volume of construction work in Peking equalled that in whole Europe; a skyscraper is completed every single day in Shanghai; and Chongqing numbers 31.7 inhabitants. Every well-intended study of …
