  • Ode to the polder
    The exhibition Polders – The Scene of Land and Water is on show at the NAi as part of the second International Architecture Biennale Rotterdam. Historical prints, models and plans of fifteen polders provide visitors with an overview of the past, present and future of the polder.

  • Group Portraits 2004
    'Fear and space' is the theme of Group Portraits 2004. A topical theme, since fear is everywhere, dominating public discussion, driving the political debate, making us long for times gone by... An opportune moment, therefore, to examine this phenomenon in the architecture debate too.
    ArchiNed.nl – news
    Fear is a vague, subjective and elusive feeling that is open to many interpretations. What's it got to do with architecture? Or rather: what's the designer got to do with it? According to Urban Affairs, organiser of Group Portraits, designers should …
