Résumé:
This book from The Architecture Observer (Dutch architecture critic Hans Ibelings) takes readers through some of the unexpected twists and turns in the mind of the Toronto-based Romanian architect and urbanist Adrian Phiffer. It can be seen as an attempt to produce architecture with images and words – a non-linear flow of images interrupted by text, and vice versa. Its point of view is that of a youngish architect, and at times the book takes the form of a distorted self-portrait. He writes, “The cruelty of our profession is that we always have to imagine something special… we are required to make something sophisticated, slightly complex, preferably very expensive.”

Résumé:
The Architecture Observer and Bedaux de Brouwer Architecten offer an homage to this multigenerational office based in North Brabant. Despite a number of prestigious commissions, the firm has always remained somewhat peripheral in the landscape of Dutch post-war architecture. Its prevailing attitude behind architecture is not to cause rifts, to break neither with its past nor with its context. Beginning with the most recent works and moving back through time, this attractive monograph outlines how Bedaux de Brouwer is at its best when the architects do not try to surprise, or to leave an unforgettable impression. With texts by Hans Ibelings, Dick van Gameren, Antonio Cruz.

Résumé:
Architecture builds upon history. Even the avant-gardist creed to “make it new” still assumes a past. It is impossible to imagine novelty without an awareness of what existed before. This is even more true for the reuse and appropriation of existing structures, where designers take a stance relative to the past. In their transformation projects the office of(...)

Résumé:
Architecture builds upon history. Even the avant-gardist creed to “make it new” still assumes a past. It is impossible to imagine novelty without an awareness of what existed before. This is even more true for the reuse and appropriation of existing structures, where designers take a stance relative to the past. In their transformation projects the office of diederendirrix architects retell stories of buildings and sites – by paraphrasing part of the story, by recasting central actors, by making architecture speak in other words. In so doing, they make it anew.

Résumé:
If past centuries belonged to Europe and much of the last century has been dominated by America, then now it is China’s turn. For decades, the nation has experienced unprecedented economic growth, and it managed to evade the West’s economic recession. It has gained a significant economic presence in nearly every part of the world. Yet China is now in the midst of an economic slowdown, which impacts its architecture, urban planning, and infrastructure, both at home and abroad. Nanne de Ru and Hans Ibelings undertake a closer examination of this process, with reports from Canada, Portugal, Angola, South Africa, Indonesia, the United Kingdom, and Central and South America.

The only thing that isn’t remarkable about Toronto’s condominiums is their architecture. 'Rise and Sprawl' analyzes the recent condominiumization of Toronto. It is(...)

Résumé:
La globalisation en architecture est généralement perçue comme une force négative conduisant à l'homogénéité et à l'uniformité. Ces dernières années cependant, sous l'influence des processus de globalisation, se dessinent les contours d'une nouvelle et intrigante architecture au sein de laquelle la superficialité et la neutralité ont acquis une signification particulière.

Résumé:
Europan is a biennial competition for architects and architecture students under the age of 40 that looks for innovative housing designs for real, specific sites across Europe. Guidelines encourage participants to address social and economic changes occurring around their sites, and, for this eighth Europan, that’s 74 properties across the continent. This year’s theme of "European urbanity and strategic projects" drew, for the six sites in the Netherlands alone, nearly 160 designs. Europan 8 offers a complete overview of the winning plans for the Dutch sites, including models, plans, sketches and interviews with the designers. The project section is complemented by descriptions of the six sites, an essay about the central theme, and a critique of the entries from a European perspective. An additional CD-ROM contains all other entries along with the prizewinning designs.
