    True Cities: a photo(geo)graphic installation by Charlie Koolhaas
    Photographs by Charlie Koolhaas are on show through March 26 at Aedes architecture gallery in Berlin. The exhibition True Cities offers an exciting and disturbing portrait of four rapidly growing cities.
    ArchiNed.nl – news
    Nothing is more fascinating to an architect and urban designer than a rapidly growing city. New buildings that continually transform the city‘s appearance, the changing lifestyle of inhabitants, the struggle to survive in the chaos we call the city. …

    Euro Islam Architecture
    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
    Put simply, some critics propagate a preference for modern-looking mosques without embellishments; cupolas and minarets are deemed superfluous because they are out of sync with the climate or technology of their new surroundings. The visibility of su…

    The envelope revisited
    For Alejandro Zaera Polo the building volume – the envelope – is currently the most relevant element of architecture because it best expresses the link between technology, representation and politics.
    ArchiNed.nl – news
    While the lecture that Alejandro Zaera Polo held in April 2008 essentially signalled the start of his examination of the relation between building volume and politics, he is now working on a general theory about The Envelope. November 25 he gave anot…

    TEAMWORK – Coastal zone in Almere Poort
    Adri Duivesteijn, alderman for physical planning and housing, opened the exhibition TEAMWORK in Museum De Paviljoens in Almere on October 31. It’s called ‘teamwork’ because the local authority invited three property developers to present proposals for the development of the Coastal Zone in Almere Poort, and because Museum De Paviljoens set three teams of artists to work with the same programme.
    ArchiNed.nl – news
    The first versions of the six proposals are currently on show, and the definitive designs will go on show from January 24, 2009, on. In the run-up to the presentation of the definitive plans, the people of Almere have been invited to give their views…

    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.
    ArchiNed.nl – news
    In their practice, the three authors – French architects Frédéric Druot, Anne Lacaton and Jean-Philippe Vassal – work on making careful and continuous changes to the existing city. To them, total demolition followed by new construction is not an opti…

    Architecture is war
    Architects still have difficulty publicly discussing the purpose and advantage of architecture within political processes – even if that is abundantly clear to the outside world. In the exhibition Decolonizing Architecture in Bozar (Brussels) three architectural researchers – Sandi Hilal, Alessandro Petti and Eyal Weizman – go a step further by proving the strategic role of architecture within an ordinary military struggle.
    ArchiNed.nl – news
    As everyone knows – and as is illustrated yet again by the exhibited material and interviews – the Jewish settlements in the Palestine areas form part of clever ‘civil occupation’. They become even more interesting when it turns out that their archit…

    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 …

    Greetings from... Bogotá
    With a population of seven million people, Bogotá DC is the fourth largest city in South America and the capital of Colombia. The joys and nuisances of the country are present here in full force and amplified form. In the case of Colombia, there are quite a few of them.
    ArchiNed.nl – news
    First of all, Colombia is a festive country. No matter where you order a drink or a juice, it’ll always be served with a straw – even in expensive restaurants and even as a handy stirring implement with tea or coffee. What’s more, a daily dose of Sal…

    Merchant mentality in The Promised Land
    Where do you start when you’re commissioned to design a new city in Asia or Russia? How do you deal with cultural differences, regulations and language? These questions formed the starting point for an evening programme organised by the International New Town Institute to examine urban development in Asia.

    The first public gathering of the International New Town Institute took place on Tuesday evening May 27 at the Kunstlinie art centre in Almere, organised in conjunction with Casla architecture centre. The aim of the International New Town Institute i…

    Radial Views
    From March 13 to May 25 deSingel in Antwerp hosted an exhibition of work by interior and landscape architect Petra Blaisse entitled Radial Views. But ‘exhibition’ is perhaps not quite the right word. Blaisse wrote a scenario for this Belgian art campus and made a number of subtle interventions. Rooted to its context, her work is difficult to exhibit.
    ArchiNed.nl – news
    According to the website the exhibition was to open at 1 o’clock. I arrived 20 minutes early and wandered around the building. Suddenly I noticed an open door that led to the inner garden of the art campus. I looked around, saw no-one and slipped ins…
