  • 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.

  • Dynamic Colour-Space
    A section of the Groninger Museum is devoted to the exhibition ‘P. Struycken: Digital Paradise’. Peter Struycken is present everywhere – in the exhibited work and in the interior. Famed for his way of working with colour, structure and form, the artist became interested in interdisciplinary collaboration at an early stage. In 1994 and 1999 he was commissioned by former director Frans Haks to design colour palettes for the interior of the new Groninger Museum building.

    ArchiNed.nl – news
    Reviewing this remarkable phenomenon is actually impossible, because it defies all logic. Even its basic principles. Put together a Yearbook about Dutch pop music that contains just hip hop and press and public alike will destroy you. But there doesn…
