Summary:
Does fame empower architecture or undermine it? Does the star power or cult status of an architect enhance the art or dilute it? This issue of Perspecta examines the inner workings of fame as it relates to architecture though media and culture. It looks at how the commodification of architecture affects the design process - whether fame emphasizes all the wrong aspects of architecture or provides the only way an architect can produce truly ambitious projects. How does architecture generate fame? And how does fame generate architecture? Celebrity permeates all levels of contemporary society; architecture, academia, the architectural press, and the mainstream media all play a role in promoting the mystique of the designer genius. The tradition of learning through apprenticeship and the struggle to have projects commissioned and built perpetuate the importance of the famous architect. Does this serve architecture or only the architectural star? The contributors to Perspecta examine both sides of the argument: Architecture moves forward through a process of innovation; fame provides the architect with the leverage needed to accomplish innovation. Or is it that fame, because of its relationship to the media and popular tastes, inevitably dilutes the quality of the architecture? Does "famous" architecture glorify only itself and neglect the people, the values, and the functions that it must serve?

Summary:
The modern design and perception of the public domain is to a large degree determined by the tension between different memories - individual and collective, old and new, indigenous and immigrant. This makes memory a topical theme in the public domain, and its content, management and place are in urgent need of renewed consideration. How can one actively make use of the(...)

Summary:
The modern design and perception of the public domain is to a large degree determined by the tension between different memories - individual and collective, old and new, indigenous and immigrant. This makes memory a topical theme in the public domain, and its content, management and place are in urgent need of renewed consideration. How can one actively make use of the information that is stored in modern-day 'places of memory'? What role does art play in this? Is collective memory even a possibility these days? How can cultural heritage be made accessible without transforming city and countryside into one big open-air museum? And what are the implications of new media and digital storage technologies for the social and historical processes of preserving and remembering? Rudi Laermans analyses the modern-day 'heritage regime'. Frank van Vree examines the role of the contemporary monument. Cor Wagenaar advocates the introduction of time as an instrument for the Belvedere Policy. Wolfgang Ernst considers how the archive becomes a literal metaphor in a digital culture. Nico Bick photographed various archives. Jorinde Seijdel takes a closer look at the visual archive of Bill Gates. Sven Lütticken writes about the conspiracy of openness that is apparently at work in the mass media. Geert Lovink interviews artist and archivist Tjebbe van Tijen. Artists' contributions from Joke Robaard, Nico Dockx, Hans Aarsman, Arnoud Holleman and Barbara Visser. Other contributions by Henk Oosterling, Brigitte van der Sande, Stef Scagliola, Jordan Crandall and Paul Meurs.
