  • Merchant mentality in The Promised Land

  • Brussel, Marx & PepsiCo
    ‘Europe’ turned 50 last weekend: perfect timing. The public presentation of ‘A Vision for Brussels / Brussels Capital of Europe’ by the Rotterdam-based Berlage Institute coincided nicely with the festivities marking the anniversary of the Treaty of Rome. A few thoughts on a mediagenic manifesto in the form of a book and an exhibition.

  • 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.

    ‘Located right in the international business centre of Daqing,’ I remember as my taxi races away from the only city district that could even remotely be considered a city centre and speeds towards the Daqing Petroleum Hotel. Small patch…

  • Mutations: world = city
    More than half the world's population currently lives in cities. Or rather, in what we call cites. In breakneck tempo urban mass is being produced in Asia, a form of urbanism that largely escapes architectural analysis, while in a completely contrary movement the European City seems to be losing control by not growing but by totally transforming from within. The exhibition Mutations shows fragments of la ville contemporaine.

    For the exhibition Mutations (designed by Jean Nouvel) the Arc en Rêve architecture centre in Bordeaux, France, allowed a group of architects, photographers, film-makers and critics to record the current state of urbanism. Curators Rem Koolhaas,…

  • Rem's Junk in Mies' Space
    It can’t have escaped anyone: the first major exhibition devoted to Rem Koolhaas and OMA/AMO is now on show in the Neue Nationalgalerie in Berlin. Big, plenty and perplexing. Rem Koolhaas lets loose.

    Content is an exhibition about Rem Koolhaas and, more precisely, by Rem Koolhaas, as is often the case with exhibitions devoted to living architects. The visitor is offered a glimpse inside the architect's office. How do OMA projects evolve? What fas…

  • Metropolitan World Atlas
    In addition to the trusty Bosatlas and all the other atlases that show maps of each country and continent, there's now an atlas that focuses on the city: the metropolis, that is.

  • Fishermans friend
    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. Just how different Japanese practice is became clear in the lecture 'Hard-boiled architecture'. Janneke van Bergen reports.
    ArchiNed.nl – news
    The presentation itself amounted to a statement: no words but deeds. So Shin began with a twenty-minute-long slide show, to the hard beats of Leftfield, Daft Punk and Underworld. Images of old and new work, countless forms and buildings, flitted by. …
