Résumé:
L'appel à contributions pour le colloque "Inside Density" organisé par NeTHCA en novembre 1999, mentionnait les questions relatives à la densité, la congestion et la mise en réseaux. L'objectif du colloque était d'explorer les enjeux théoriques du concept de densité et de critiquer l'usage naïf des indices de densité comme critères d'efficacité de la planification. Le colloque a réuni un large éventail de chercheurs renommés ou émergeants ainsi que d'architectes professionnels. Ce volume, publié sous la direction de Hilde Heynen et de David Vanderburgh, rassemble les plus intéressantes contributions de ce colloque, dans leur langue originelle française ou anglaise. Il comporte aussi bien les propos des conférenciers Pascal Amphoux et Mark Wigley, que des essais de Tom Avermaete, Dieter De Clercq, Alexander D'Hooghe, Marc Glaudemans, Leslie Jaye Kavanaugh, Bernard Kormoss, Hubert Lionnez/Roberto Zancan, Olivier Mathieu/Li Mei Tsien, Anne Mie Depuydt/Erik Van Daele, Kai Vöckler, Sarah Whiting, Paola Yacoub/Michel Lasserre . . . / The call for the "Inside Density" colloquium, organized by neTHCA in november 1999, evoked papers addressing issues of density, congestion and networking. The aim of the colloquium was to explore the theoretical underpinnings of the concept of density and to criticize the naïve use of density indexes as markers of good planning. The colloquium brought together an international range of renowned scholars, promising young researchers, and practising architects. This volume, co-edited by Hilde Heynen and David Vanderburgh, presents the best texts, some in English and some in French, that resulted from the colloquium. It contains contributions by key-note speakers Pascal Amphoux and Mark Wigley, as well as papers by Tom Avermaete, Dieter De Clercq, Alexander D'Hooghe, Marc Glaudemans, Leslie Jaye Kavanaugh, Bernard Kormoss, Hubert Lionnez/Roberto Zancan, Olivier Mathieu/Li Mei Tsien, Anne Mie Depuydt/Erik Van Daele, Kai Vöckler, Sarah Whiting, Paola Yacoub/Michel Lasserre . . .

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:
This book chronicles the third academic year of the studio led by Kersten Geers, Jelena Pancevac, Guido Tesio and Fabrizio Ballabio at the Academy of Architecture USI in Mendrisio. Stemming from the idea of ‘large form’ and the built environment as a testament to the futility of the virtual one, this body of work investigates how the model of grand ensembles can perform in urban fringes (in Milan), and what to do with the existing obsolete office space in the urban centre (in Brussels). Our unlikely guide to the contemporary idea of sustainable living and working in the city was the work of Aldo and Hannie van Eyck, which would grow into a separate book itself (Excess of Architecture). Brussels also served as a testbed for establishing a relation between the production of culture and the instrumental role of architecture within that process.

Résumé:
In 2016, an article in The New York Times with a probing title: “Why Brussels Is the New Berlin?” brought mainstream confirmation of a trend Brussels has been undergoing, with international artists flocking into the city, and galleries and art events following. As with so many other cities that have experienced similar trends, there are many reasons for this cultural flourishing, but they can be broken down to the simple conditions of the city itself: it is cosmopolitan and cheap. And there is available space. Beyond the visible art venues – museums and galleries, theatres and concert halls, established institutions, or converted industrial spaces – there is space where artists can live and work, go out and exchange ideas. The production of culture happens (also) in clubs and salons, offices and lofts, studios and ateliers. Our aim was to investigate these spaces and identify an urban prerequisite for such an elusive category as culture. Furthermore, we wanted to examine how spatial types can be appropriated for a new (cultural) practice.

Résumé:
There are all kinds of indications that architecture in the nineties has set off in a new direction after the domination of the two last decades by postmodernism as a style or attitude. This trend, which can be seen in the work of architectural firms like OMA, Jean Nouvel, Dominique Perrault, Herzog & De Meuron and Toyo Ito, can be connected with one of the dominant forces of the present time: the globalization that is taking place in virtually every field. One of the consequences for architecture is the erosion of the postmodern (and deconstructivist) axiom of the uniqueness of the site. The context, let alone contextualism, no longer seems to play an important role in an increasing number of designs and buildings. Semiotic expressiveness - another postmodern theme - is also often lacking in this architecture. The author explores this new trend towards abstract, neutral architecture, which in various respects can be seen as the last word of modern architecture of the postwar International Style. This enlarged edition of "Supermodernism" includes a new final chapter in which Ibelings charts the latest examples of supermodernism, as well as a revised introduction and conclusion in which he responds to the numerous reactions his provocative stance has triggered.
