    OMA/Paradox I
    The exhibition OMA/Progress runs until February 2012 at the Barbican Centre in London, a major retrospective which aims to be something else. The exhibition coincides with the opening of the first two buildings by OMA in Britain: the head office of N.M. Rothschild & Sons in the City of London, and Maggie’s Centre in Glasgow. Both the exhibition and the two buildings have been very well received by the British media, no doubt to the satisfaction of Koolhaas after forty years of effort here in London.

    In an in­ter­view with The Guar­dian to co­in­cide with the ex­hi­bi­tion, Rem Kool­haas was asked how OMA had ma­na­ged to main­tain its cri­ti­cal po­si­tion over the years. To which he an­s­we­red: 'I am a cri­ti­cism ma­chine mys­elf, a…

    A spirited threesome
    deSingel in Antwerp is presenting the work of Architects De Vylder Vinck Taillieu. This powerful exhibition oscillates between Wunderkammer and declaration of intent. Instead of displaying, the exhibition questions construction: essential viewing therefore for architects, and a fascinating pinball machine for all others.

    Wi­t­hin a short space of time, Ar­chi­tec­ten De Vyl­der Vinck Tail­lieu (ADVVT), Of­fice KGDVS and Ju­lien De Smedt have be­come ex­cel­lent ex­port pro­ducts for Bel­gian ar­chi­tec­ture. Her­zog & de Meu­ron in­vi­ted ADVVT to join the ORD…

    Struggle for self-development
    Miguel Fisac's best-known building may be demolished, but it still provokes discussion. However, the documentary ‘The Freaky Story of the Funky Skyscraper’ by Andrés Rubio is not only about the Spanish architect Fisac and this building, but also about his generation during the Franco regime.

    Heavy ex­ca­va­tors fit­ted with steel claws eat their way slowly but im­per­tur­bably through the final chunks of con­crete of a cu­rious tower. Local ar­chi­tects have gathe­red to collect pie­ces of rub­ble as sou­ve­nirs, and to ex­press their…

    Architecture or your life
    The exhibition ‘Double or Nothing’ in Bozar (Brussels) presents the work of Belgian office 51N4E. In his opening lecture Peter Swinnen offered the architectural public insight into the business ethics of this successful design firm.
    ArchiNed.nl – news

    The work of 51N4E rai­ses ques­ti­ons. Ar­chi­tec­tu­ral theo­re­ti­ci­ans are racking their brains about whe­ther their work is an­ec­do­tal or sin­gu­lar.* It would deny all his­tory and re­fuse to adopt any po­si­tion. This con­fu­sion in the r…

    Reconstruction – why not!?
    Reconstructing a building with new materials is at odds with one of the most important principles of modern western building conservation, namely the preservation of a physical object in its original materials as a historical source. That is why reconstruction is so controversial within heritage circles and elsewhere. During the Docomomo seminar a number of speakers discussed the theme of reconstructing modern heritage in a session entitled Reco.mo.mo. How real is imitation, how beloved is the original?

    The ses­sion ki­cked off with Pro­fes­sor Ma­rieke Kui­pers. The dis­cus­sion about re­con­struc­tion has been ta­king place for de­ca­des but is ra­rely con­duc­ted in pu­blic. Ac­cor­ding to Kui­pers there is sc­ar­cely any de­bate about the fun…

    Architects meet one another in Selinunte: visions for the immediate future
    This spring various generations of architects from all over the world met one another in Selinunte, Sicily. Among them were budding talents who have just completed their first projects in their native regions, and architects from firms that operate globally. The nice thing about the gathering was that all the invited offices presented their work, which gave everyone a clear idea of the scope of work of architects and in particular of the motives underpinning their work.

    Es­pe­cially among the youn­ger of­fices it was evi­dent that am­bi­ti­ons have cle­arly chan­ged. Or per­haps it is more ac­cu­rate to speak of a new men­ta­lity. These of­fices seem less con­cer­ned with the spec­ta­cu­lar or new ef­fects of the…

    About an office that doesn’t want to build
    The very first pictures of the earth taken from outer space changed the way I look and think forever. The earth is our spacecraft, our mother, and home to all of us. (Luc Deleu, 2011)

    NEXT Architects: searching to balance city and countryside
    The ten projects that Marijn Schenk of NEXT Architects raced through during his lecture at the Groningen Academy of Architecture covered the various areas in which the office is active: design and research projects in the field of interior, architecture, urbanism and infrastructure alternated with one another. If a common thread could be discerned, it was an interest in mobility and urban development.

    At the start of his lec­ture Schenk quo­ted the Bri­tish ar­chi­tect and wri­ter Ced­ric Price (1934-2003). Price de­scri­bed the chan­ging mor­pho­logy of the city in terms of ways to pre­pare an egg. In the pre-industrial era the city was a re­c…

    Offices become dwellings
    There is a lot of unoccupied office space, and in Rotterdam they want to attract more residents into the city. So what could be more logical than converting empty offices into homes?

    Remote control for the city
    In a few years we will all navigate our way through the city with a smartphone. The Amsterdam version of the mobile architecture application from the Netherlands Architecture Institute (NAi) leaves you in no doubt about that, despite the teething troubles and its limited possibilities. Soon you will be able to zap your way through the city using your telephone as a remote control device. But can this technology enhance the contact between people and their surroundings and, in the process, enhance the quality of the built environment?

    Much has al­re­ady been said and writ­ten about UAR, the in­ter­ac­tive mo­bile ar­chi­tec­ture ap­p­li­ca­tion from the NAi. In short, UAR enables ar­chi­tec­ture fans to ob­tain local in­for­ma­tion about exis­ting, va­nis­hed or plan­ned buil­d…

    Necessity or convention? – West Arch at the Ludwig Forum
    The exhibition West Arch: A New Generation in Architecture has just ended. On show was the architecture of a self-conscious new generation, flourishing amidst the art of Richter, Warhol and Ai Weiwei. Not much sweet talking here; instead, a thirst for action sets the tone.

    The green, star-shaped uri­nal blocks of the toi­lets at the Lud­wig Forum in Aa­chen may have been just a co­in­ci­dence, but they are very ap­pro­priate for what is hap­pe­ning one floor above. For the ground floor is the scene of a chan­ging of…
