Achttien architecten gingen de uitdaging aan om een hedendaags poppenhuis te ontwerpen met als uitgangspunt de beleving van de werkelijkheid door kinderen met een beperking. Alle architecten kwamen met een eigen antwoord in de vorm van poppenhuizen die kinderen met een energiestofwisselingsziekte nieuwe speelmogelijkheden bieden, die de wereld in hun bed brengen of door middel van een krachtig beeld laten zien wat het hebben van een dergelijke ziekte betekent. Vanzelfsprekende ruimtelijke ord...

De verhouding tussen de generaties wijzigt. Door nieuwkomers, de stijgende gemiddelde leeftijd en de veranderende gezinssamenstelling wordt onze samenleving steeds kleurrijker.

With this work in the form of a book, Maria Lalou & Skafte Aymo-Boot present the phenomenon of a particular pending architecture mutely present all over Athens. The concrete skeletons of polykatoikia – multi-story apartment buildings – are emblematic of the development of modern Greece throughout the second half of the twentieth century.

The book deals with the politics of urban space by treating the unfinished buildings as study objects and tracing their individual histories. Through the...

Footprint #28 examines the relation between cybernetics and architecture by focusing on a problem they both share: the production, consumption and flow of information, or, in other terms, of meaning. Therefore, cyberneticisation can set the foundations for a relational account that examines how signs are communicated and how meaning is produced and experienced within systems.

The Conscious City concept brings together all the challenges facing contemporary city-making. It is a concept for the urban curation processes required for future cities; for adapting to the impacts of climate change, emerging intelligences, a growing population, affordable housing, the need for a new pact with nature, as well as navi...

Desperate times demand optimistic transdisciplinary measures. This volume unites a select group of thinkers who courageously traverse disciplinary boundaries. What brings them together iWs the least stratified ‘component’: a shared problem. It is a widely recognised that a problem gets the solution it merits. However, only a few acknowledge that a problem seldom neatly fits within a single discipline, nor does it conform to the principle of general equivalence. Handling its irreducibility...
