Summary:
"Old Europe" is beginning to show strong signs of renewed vitality, to judge from the results of this latest edition of the European Union prize for contemporary architecture - Mies van der Rohe award 2003. And not only because 269 works were selected, or because the number of competing countries (particularly those of Eastern Europe) is steadily increasing, bit also by virtue of the high average standard of the entries, particularly of the winning projects and 40 runner-up featured in this catalogue. In the end, the winning project encompasses all this : Zaha Hadid's tram station in Strasbourg is at the same time a strategy, open-ended, imperfect, intelligent and playful. But it also resolved and unafraid to identify with conventional architectural qualities.

Summary:
An exhibition catalogue from the Migros Museum featuring 21 artists and architects including Anish Kapoor, Jane and Louise Wilson, James Casebere, and Daniel Libeskind among others. The exhibition takes as its point of departure three contexts in which space occupies a central position: Sigmund Freud’s notion of “das Unheimliche” and psychoanalytical elaboration of space and its emotion; Michel Foucault’s other spaces – heterotopias and their counter-site qualities of socio-political implications; and Walter Benjamin’s outmoded and repressed space with all its auratic traces (fake or authentic) of philosophical and historic charge. “Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered” aims to exploit the psychological associations of space with its multiplicity of emotional overtones, mapping its extremes and its psychic environment. Focusing on spatial pathologies (agoraphobia, vertigo, claustrophobia...), the exhibition identifies space as a cause of mental disorder, fear or estrangement, ultimate trauma. Hysteria, panic and neurosis overlap with other spatial stories of psychic unrest and unease: distortions and perversions (warped space); anxiety and enigmas (haunted space); spatial inconvenience and discomfort, perfectly domestic and yet alienating; space half-spoken, half-pronounced: a promise, a puzzle, a magic spell, temptation.
