    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.

    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…

    New-generation motorway architecture
    The Utrecht architecture café organised an excursion on June 4 to two of the city's most prominent new projects: the motorway buildings by Kas Oosterhuis and Fons Verheijen in Leidsche Rijn.
    ArchiNed.nl – news
    My drive to Utrecht last Saturday took me along the A12 motorway. Strewn thoughtlessly along both sides of the roadway were miserable-looking boxes decorated with signage that clamoured for attention, interrupted occasionally by stretches of acoustic…

    The Embodiment of a Study
    Bye House (Wall House 2) was designed in the early 1970's by John Hejduk for a site in Connecticut, USA, but was never built. Ten years ago the town of Groningen, in the north of the Netherlands, undertook to build this famous house on a lakeside site on the town's outskirts. Early in September, one year after Hejduk's death, the house was completed.

    In the early 1970's, while he was teaching at the Cooper Union in New York, Hejduk made a number of study designs for a house that placed living in the context of time by means of a Wall. The Wall symbolises the physical transition from past to futur…

    Cosmic and Theatrical
    Hendrik Wijdeveld is presented as a man of the cosmos in the exhibition 'Plan The Impossible' at the NAi. He was an isolated romantic who opposed the city as a machine for production and consumption and who returned to elementary systems found in the universe and in nature. An agreeable subject, since it's wonderful to see how chaos is eliminated with simple models and all-in-one diagrams.
    ArchiNed.nl – news
    Although Wijdeveld (1885-1987) was persuaded to take on earthly commissions (for housing, interiors and graphic work) during his long life, the exhibition shows only his utopian work, and of that, just the highlights of this somewhat forgotten archit…
