    Venice (3): Architecture without Building?
    Entitled Out There: Architecture Beyond Building, the 11th Venice Architecture Biennale aims to give new meaning to what we call architecture. ‘Architecture is not building,’ writes director Aaron Betsky in an essay, ‘Buildings are objects and the act of building leads to such objects, but architecture is something else.’
    ArchiNed.nl – news
    Architecture must do more than provide shelter for us. Architecture must offer us a secure home in the confusing modern reality. With this biennale Aaron Betsky wants to stimulate experiments and show how we can establish (new) relationships between …

    Destination: Paradise
    NAi director Ole Bouman introduced his predecessor Aaron Betsky as a man of many guises: critic, museum director, curator of the Venice Architecture Biennale, travelling salesman. On Friday May 9 Betsky fulfilled the last two roles with aplomb. After stops in Rome and Berlin he was in Rotterdam to reveal a little of the programme for the 11th Architecture Biennale, which opens in Venice in early September.
    ArchiNed.nl – news
    Betsky’s presentation was lively and persuasive. His story started with a phone call from Mister Baratta. 'I’ve a problem. Can you help?,' Baratta asked. 'Maybe, but who are you?,' answered Betsky. Baratta turned out to be director of the Biennale di…

    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.

    No Loitering
    During the last weekend of Marchs the first session of the 'Hot Summer of Psychogeography' (or Guy Debord's dérive in 2002) took place in Amsterdam. Socialfiction, the organisers, sent participants on their way from Dam Square with an algorithmic description of the route. The same experiment was repeated later in the day in the Bijlmer district.

    Westland forever
    The design assignment for the final round of the Urban Design category of the Prix de Rome was to draw up a development strategy for Westland. Last Tuesday the four final candidates presented their plans. Although the task was a fictitious one, the response was so imaginative that the intended discussion dealing with the necessity of restructuring large-scale agricultural areas in the Netherlands mainly concerned future possibilities for Westland.
    ArchiNed.nl – news
    Westland is an area of 14,000 hectares south of The Hague known mainly for its area of glasshouse horticulture, which accounts for 5,000 hectares. Pressure on the area is immense. Villages and towns in and around Westland are all seeking to expand to…

    Soeters in the Wrong
    The Prix de Rome architecture competition reached its conclusion last Thursday as the candidates in the final round presented their projects to the public. The presentation was to have been followed by a discussion with academics and developers intended to shed light on the relationship between architecture and entertainment. As it turned out, events took a different course. Architect Sjoerd Soeters expressed his agitation with the Prix de Rome design assignment and, in the process, roundly attacked the entire Dutch architecture education system.

    The Prix de Rome organisers set a trendy, contemporary assignment for the final round: to convert the vacant CSM factory in Halfweg into a multifunctional events complex. The designers not only had to come up with an architectural design but also off…

    A Doubting Claus
    Doubt was the theme of the evening. 'Doubt is an important aspect of our work as architects and designers of public space,' said Felix Claus on September 13 at the Brakke Grond in Amsterdam.
    ArchiNed.nl – news
    Felix Claus (Claus en Kaan Architecten, Amsterdam) shared his doubts candidly. When is a building good? Are you even doing it all right? Does it fit into the logic of the project? To him, doubt means having to choose, for there are tempting sirens re…

    Venice Bienniale - Preview
    This summer - from June through to November 2000 - the new Architecture Biennale will be held in Venice. The Biennale offers an overview of what is current in the world of architecture (and related work in visual art) in the participating countries. The scenario for this year's event was drawn up by the Italian Massimiliano Fuksas, the flamboyant and - in Italy - not uncontroversial architect. Ahead of the opening, those interested can gain a preview on the Internet, where a rapidly growing exhibition of participants' work is in the making.

    Fuksas has built the forthcoming Biennale around the theme 'Cities': the city as context characterised by permanent crisis. According to Fuksas, architects cannot be permitted to adopt a cynical attitude towards the city - the enormous impact of the …

    Who’s afraid of black and red, who’s (afraid of) Odile Decq?
    Why Odile Decq in the Brakke Grond? Out of curiosity. No exhaustive argumentation is needed to invite an architect, according to host Maarten Kloos. But a minor anecdote reveals that his wife read an interview with Decq in the Alitalia magazine and suggested inviting her. And so it came to pass that Decq performed in ARCAM’s theatrical lecture series on February 6.

    Born in Bretagne and still living by the sea with a view of an endless horizon, Odile Decq states that: ‘Architecture is about travelling. The horizon is a line you want to reach. You never succeed, but you’re always on the move. You wa…
