    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.

    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…

    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. The hall not only offered space for various forms of entertainment such as dancing, dining, films and music but also created a fitting atmosphere. Van Doesburg deployed colour in particular to enhance the mood because ‘without colour, architecture lacks expression and is blind’. The colours practically jump off the pages of the original design drawings for the Ciné-bal and the Salle des Fêtes, now on show at the NAi along with a number of historical photos and scale models.

    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…

    Shopping with Rem
    They're being sold and discussed as two new books by Rem Koolhaas: parts one and two of the 'Project on the City'. But Koolhaas is absent on most of the 1,600 pages. For the most part, he lets students from Harvard Design School have their say. That said, Koolhaas's presence is still palpable - as editor, teacher and source of inspiration for a long line of faithful disciples tagging along in his wake. In the pieces by Koolhaas himself, Junkspace in particular, he is his customary radical, expressionist and very funny self.
