    Optical Spectacle
    The Ciné-bal that Theo van Doesburg designed for the Aubette leisure centre in Strasbourg in 1926 was way ahead of its time.

Van Doesburg deployed colour in particular to enhance the mood because ‘without colour, architecture lacks expression and is blind’.

    From 1926 onwards Van Doesburg worked with husband and wife Hans Arp and Sophie Täuber. They were initially commissioned for the project but asked him to assist in renovating the interior of the eighteenth-century Aubette. The barracks, converted int…

    Rem Koolhaas in the Berlage
    On February 7 in a packed Berlage Institute - it's about time they got round to making a decent lecture theatre there - Rem Koolhaas delivered the final lecture in the Projective Theory series that started with Peter Eisenman on October 11 last year.

    Given that Koolhaas thinks of the Berlage as his back garden, we weren't in for a real presentation but simply some 'collected material'. It began in very serious fashion. Who starts a lecture by showing a picture of the Parthenon? He does. It turned…

    Building and Living, Jordanian-Style
    How does a Dutch architect end up doing volunteer work in the often unbearable heat of Jordan? Florentine Visser reports.
    ArchiNed.nl – news
    My first visit to Jordan two years ago made a deep impression on me, particularly the countryside and the hospitality of the inhabitants. Meeting people who have next to nothing yet who still share their food with you is a very special experience. So…
