  • Architecture is war
    Architects still have difficulty publicly discussing the purpose and advantage of architecture within political processes – even if that is abundantly clear to the outside world. In the exhibition Decolonizing Architecture in Bozar (Brussels) three architectural researchers – Sandi Hilal, Alessandro Petti and Eyal Weizman – go a step further by proving the strategic role of architecture within an ordinary military struggle.

    As everyone knows – and as is illustrated yet again by the exhibited material and interviews – the Jewish settlements in the Palestine areas form part of clever ‘civil occupation’. They become even more interesting when it turns out that their archit…

  • Call for liberation lacks motivation
    On April 4, to mark the publication of Volume #14 – theme: 'Unsolicited Architecture' – the NAi organised a discussion about 'unsolicited architecture'. During the evening an emphatic moral appeal was made to architects.

    Precisely at a time when, according to the speakers, architecture is both successful and powerless, it offers no answers to important social questions. To turn the tide, architects were encouraged to liberate themselves from the straitjacket of tradi…

  • 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.

    Fanfare, pomp and circumstance surrounded the opening of the public display of ‘Brussels Capital of Europe’ – a studio project now well over two years old – at the Centre for Fine Arts (BOZAR) in Brussels on March 17. The …

  • Tune in & Turn on
    Is Luc Deleu a realist, idealist or visionary? To be honest, it's a question I'd prefer not to answer. After seeing the exhibition Values in Antwerp's MUHKA, I'm occupied by just one question. What purpose is served by the work of Luc 'Self-Power Man' Deleu, the self-appointed orbanist?
    ArchiNed.nl – news
    Orbanism is the open concept employed by Luc Deleu. »Orbanism stands for a metaphysical and material structuring of the world for the common good, the public interest. Orbanism aims for a dynamic balance between order and chaos, architecture and life…

  • H-H-HSL, a cult exhibition about leftovers
    On show until August 3 in Rotterdam’s Groothandelsgebouw is the exhibition ‘A Design For Places Left Over After Planning’. Anyone expecting to find a mouthful of exquisite sushi or Mediterranean anti-pasta among all these leftovers is in for a disappointment. What they will find is a veritable hodgepodge of dazzling designs for works of art along the route of the future High-Speed Rail link (HSL).

    The exhibition is an initiative of the Ministry of Transport and Water Management, the Foundation for Art and Public Space (SKOR) and the Atelier HSL. It sets out to give some relevance to the cultural and social significance of the HSL. Now that the…

  • Brussels and Ground Euro (Part 2), a Spanish-Belgian mix
    ‘The Spanish are coming!’ In the sixteenth century such news would have prompted the citizenry of Brussels to raise the city ramparts, but today they are welcomed with open arms. The reason is simple. For they are bringing us something special: urban design, architecture, and the ‘cohesion’ in between.

    Friday February 7 a decision was taken on 'Ground Euro.' From the invited proposals for 'the development of a global urban-design concept,' the winners turned out to be a Spanish-Belgian alliance: Aries, Idom, Moritz et Simon, L'Atelier, Jordi Ferran…

  • 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.
    ArchiNed.nl – news
    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,…
