    Casa da Musica, Porto
    The ‘Casa da Musica’ by OMA was to have been the architectural icon for Porto, European Cultural Capital in 2001. But protracted work on the foundations and unforeseen weather conditions delayed completion of the building. In contrast to the Palace of the Soviets in the 1930s, when similar conditions transformed a communist icon into an enormous swimming pool, Porto persevered in its pursuit of ‘Glokoolhaasination’.

    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…
