Résumé:
In 2009, the NAi-Ymere biennial celebrated the explorer Henry Hudson, whose pioneering travels laid the foundation for the development of New York City. In the vein of the Fort Amsterdam military post he built on Manhattan's southern tip, participants were asked to imagine new ways to transform the North Amsterdam waterfront.

Résumé:
The NAi Prize is to be awarded every two years to the best building by a young Dutch architectural practice. This book documents the five short-listed buildings by VMX Architecten, NL Architects, Korteknie Stuhlmacher Architecten, MVRDV and René van Zuuk Architekten and analyses the current position held by young Dutch architects. Are they following in the footsteps of their forebears or blazing a trail of their own? Is there greater leeway in the Netherlands for experiment or can comparable architecture be found elsewhere? And can these five practices be regarded as a barometer for the latest generation of designers? The short-listed projects were presented during the Venice Biennale 2002. Photography: Ralph Kämena, design: Coppens en Alberts.

Résumé:
Opened in 1992, the Kunsthal in Rotterdam is a key design in the portfolio of Rem Koolhaas, one of the most influential architectural thinkers of our time, and OMA, the renowned firm he cofounded in 1975. It is part of the Museumpark, a park designed by OMA and the location of the Nederlands Architectuurinstituut NAi, the Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen, and the Museum of Natural History. This outstanding space for art is a destination for countless architecture fans every year. It is celebrated by Tibor Pataky, architect and architectural historian, in this inspiring book. He explains the history, the programmatic background, and the cultural references of the design. He also places it in the context of OMA’s work of the 1980s and the intellectual environment of Deconstructivism. Nine series of illustrations—historic and new photographs, plans and documents from OMA’s archive, newly drawn plans of the finished building, and other images—focus on the structure’s outstanding qualities. ''OMA’s Kunsthal in Rotterdam'' is a tribute to one of the most significant works of post-WWII architecture in Europe.

Résumé:
The open terrain of new media is closing fast. Market concentration, legal consolidation and tightening governmental control have effectively ended the myth of the free and open networks. In Delusive Spaces, Eric Kluitenberg takes a critical position that retains a utopian potential for emerging media cultures. The book investigates the archeology of media and machine, mapping the different methods and metaphors that speak about technology. Returning to the present, Kluitenberg discusses the cultural use of new media in an age of post-governmental politics. Delusive Spaces concludes with the impossibility of representation. Going beyond the obvious delusions of the 'new' and the 'free', Kluitenberg theorizes artistic practices and European cultural policies, demonstrating a provocative engagement with the utopian dimension of technology. Eric Kluitenberg is a Dutch media theorist, writer and organizer. Since the late 1980s, he has been involved in numerous international projects in the field of electronic art, media culture, and information politics. Kluitenberg heads the media program at De Balie, Centre for Culture and Politics in Amsterdam. He is the editor of the Book of Imaginary Media (NAi Publishers, 2006) and the theme issue Hybrid Space of Open, journal on art and the public domain (2007).

Résumé:
L'expression "Territoires équivoques", le titre de ce deuxième volume de la série Jeunes Architectures, n'est pas sans évoquer la dimension transnationale d'Artgineering. Aglaée Degros est belge. Stefan Bendiks est allemand, Leur agence, installée à Rotterdam dans un rez-de-jardin à deux pas de l'Institut Néerlandais d'Architecture (NAi), conçoit des projets destinés aux Pays-Bas, mais également à la Wallonie et à la Flandre. C'est toutefois à la spécificité de la pratique d'Artgineering que renvoie ce,"Territoires équivoques", Comme l'annonce le nom même de l'agence, cette pratique que l'on pourrait qualifier un peu rapidement de transversale, met à mal l'acception communément admise de la figure de l'architecte et déborde largement du cadre de prédilection traditionnel de l'architecture. Entre urbanisme, intervention artistique, marketing et consultance, le travail d'Artgineering se déploie au-delà des limites disciplinaires. Cette pratique "transversale" n'est cependant pas le fruit d'un processus cumulatif qui étendrait peu à peu le champ d'intervention de l'architecte par le truchement de collaborations avec divers spécialistes en réponse aux exigences de la commande ou par opportunisme stratégique, Ce qui distingue le travail d'Artgineering des pratiques de nombre d'agences d'architecture s'adonnant au multidisciplinaire, c'est qu'ici, la dimension équivoque est présente d'emblée, dès l'amont du projet et de manière exclusive...

Résumé:
Since 1955, when they were first standardized, shipping containers have had a radical effect on our physical reality. Seven million of these steel containers are now moving around the world, and their measurements have defined the design of ships, railroad cars, trucks, and cargo airplanes, as well as the landscape of ports, airports, and trucking yards. And that doesn't even begin to touch on the wider and much more invisible system of distribution, of just-in-time-inventory, of information networks in which the container moves. LOT/EK, the New York-based studio with a reputation for creating architecture and environments using industrial objects, here takes on the standard shipping container as medium. The Mobile DwellingUnit (MDU) is "a shipping container transformed into a dwelling that nevertheless retains the attributes of a shipping container, i.e. it remains shippable." It is a "discreet mobile element" that can be moved around the globe, to anywhere with that can receive standard shipping containers. It's full-service interior includes push-out elements with space for sleeping, storage, eating, bathing, and cooking; these elements can be pushed smoothly back into the container when the occupant moves and needs to ship his or her living space along. Consider the MDU a trailer home for travelling between global villages. LOT/EK: Mobile Dwelling Unit, the book, will not only document the MDU concept but will provide greater understanding of the work’s cultural and social context with essays by leading architectural critics, theorists, historians, and practitioners. An interview with the designers by Chris Scoates will illuminate LOT/EK’s process in the creation and development of the MDU as well as their unique approach to architecture. Henry Urbach will place the MDU project in the context of LOT/EK’s larger body of work. Professor Robert Kronenberg, a leading expert on portable architecture, will consider the project within the history of the genre. Aaron Betsky, a leading design critic and Director of NAi, will explore the meaning of the MDU within a larger contemporary cultural and social context of mobility and habitation. A visual essay by Andrew Blauvelt and LOT/EK will explore the territories of the MDU’s inspiration and related themes of nomadic travel and industrial systems of transportation.
