- Greetings from Istanbul
‘We have often witnessed peoples, societies and nations outside the Western world – and I can identify with them easily – succumbing to fears that sometimes lead them to commit stupidities, all because of their fears of humiliation and their sensitivities. I also know that in the West – a world with which I can identify with the same ease – nations and peoples taking an excessive pride in their wealth, and in their having brought us the Renaissance, the Enlightenment, and Modernism, have, from time to time, succumbed to a self-satisfaction that is almost as stupid.’ (Orhan Pamuk)ArchiNed.nl – news
Istanbul is, indeed, the place for identifying with the beauties and stupidities of different worlds simultaneously. A timeless cliché, but true: Istanbul is a cradle of dualities. Here, not only East and West but also informal and formal, tolerance …

- ‘It makes a difference to make art’
Artist Olafur Eliasson gave a wonderful lecture in front of a packed auditorium at the NAi on Tuesday evening, March 5, 2007. Luckily, he didn’t talk about the announced theme – ‘structure’ as one of the seven pillars of architecture – but he did talk about his work and, especially, the ideas behind it.ArchiNed.nl – news
There is something about this artist from Berlin. His best-known work, the Weather Project at the Tate Modern – a shining sun that was occasionally obscured by mist – was repeatedly shown by various speakers during the Projective Landsc…

- Pop Gothic in Boxtel
The Sint Lucas academy in Boxtel has been 'pimped' by English design outfit FAT. Not only have exterior and interior been tackled, but the spatial organisation has also undergone a metamorphosis.ArchiNed.nl – news
Sint Lucas in Boxtel has been 'pimped' and that’s resulted in a school complex that looked dated as soon as it was opened. It already looks like alterations will need to be carried out very soon. That’s not only down to the decorative a… - The logo of Bucharest
The symposium Regimes of Representation: Art & Politics Beyond the House of People was held in the House of People (Palace of the Parliament) in Bucharest (Romania) on January 11.

- Thin Line between being Radical and Naive
Take one of the assigned plots in Antwerp, Belgium and create a design for the headquarters of the Flemish nationalist political party Vlaams Belang. Or draw a concept for it’s rather extreme Islamic opponent AEL (Arabic European League). How should architects operate in such political, ethnic or religious matters? Is there a role for them at all? Is architecture ‘neutral’ and only about aesthetics or is it acceptable that spaces and buildings propagate implicit or explicit messages? If so, to what extend? Maybe architects even can assist in bridging the gap between different ethnic and socio-political groups?ArchiNed.nl – news
These and other questions were at stake at the international design seminar INDESEM, organised by the 'bouwkunde' student association Stylos annually, sometimes every two years. Eighty students took part, half of them Dutch and half of them from abro…

The assignment set last June for five offices (Architectuurstudio Herman Hertzberger, Claus en Kaan, Diederen Dirrix Van Wylick, Henket & partners, Benthem Crouwel) contained not only a programme of requirements but also a preamble. In it we read…

- Playgrounds by Aldo van Eyck
Almost everyone who grew up in Amsterdam during the '50s, '60s and '70s is connected by an unusual fact: they once played in one of the more than 700 playgrounds in Amsterdam designed by Aldo van Eyck. And outside Amsterdam too, almost every playground had one of his tumbling bars.ArchiNed.nl – news
Aldo van Eyck (1918-1999) was 28 when he joined the Department of City Development at Amsterdam Public Works in 1947. After working on city expansions for a short time, he was asked to design a playground for Bertelmanplein. At the time, there were j…

- Koolworld
‘Rem Koolhaas: architect, iconoclast.’ Thus reads the photo caption on the cover of Wired magazine. It may be the June 2003 edition, but worth while drawing attention to its contents. Here’s an account of my visit to ‘Koolworld’ where Rem Koolhaas directs a matinee performance entitled ‘The Ultimate Atlas for the 21st Century’. The rest you’ll find on the Wired website.ArchiNed.nl – news
Wired is a magazine that sounds out, studies and shapes the symbiosis between culture and new technology. A forward-looking, model magazine, it reaches out to a readership that effortlessly navigates between reviews of the latest 'Prefuse 73', the mi…

- Cruz y Ortiz architects of New Rijksmuseum
