As public debate on the best way to integrate Moslems in non-Islamic society grows more intense, the critical debate in architecture on the best way to stimulate integration through design is also becoming more heated. In his book Euro Islam Architecture: New Mosques of the Occident, Christian Welzbacher tries to elevate the discussion to a higher level.ArchiNed.nl – news

- Architecture and Happiness
Car drivers who don’t read traffic signs but find their way with the help of points of recognition and buildings along the roadside will have to be extra careful from April 4 onwards.
