Luchtwachttorens uit de Koude Oorlog geeft een compleet beeld van het landelijke netwerk van luchtwachttorens waarin tussen 1950 en 1968 duizenden vrijwilligers in weer en wind het luchtruim afzochten naar vijandelijke Russische vliegtuigen. Een nationaal netwerk dat een taak vervulde binnen de internationale luchtverdediging van West-Europa. Van de bijna 300 objecten zijn er nog 70 bewaard gebleven: betonnen torens, bakstenen uitkijkposten en commandocentra. De door architect Marten Zwaagstr...

Located in the up-and-coming Zuidas district, the new Amsterdam Courthouse exudes approachable authority adhering to the principle that the judicial process is a public matter.

KAAN Architecten designed the stately yet inviting institution for public discourse through a collaborative DBFMO* contract overseeing the building's funding, construction, maintenance, and property management.

The Courthouse: Public Architecture is entirely produced and compiled by the building's architects. Through o...

The energy transition is in full swing. Worldwide, windmills and solar panels are taking over from fossil fuels. The construction of these new energy landscapes is often met with resistance. What if this is not about energy technologies, but about the drastic change of our immediate living environment, the places where we live, work and recreate?

The Power of Landscape examines various energy landscapes in Europe and the US in the present, past and future, based on the qualitative and emotion...

In recent decades, the field of architecture has witnessed a fundamental shift under the banner of ‘ecology’: from the innovation in energy technologies to the use of circular materials and climate-neutral building solutions – today, more than ever, the construction of a building seems to be dominated by an ecological awareness. At the same time, such sustainable thinking often places ecological questions outside of the design itself, in the hands of experts and within the logic of quan...

Data has become a critical component to our life - when was the last time that you spent 24 hours offline? In a way we granted the idea that we are and will be connected. Yet, we hardly comprehend its mechanisms: connected objects, self-driving vehicles, satellites, global internet cable networks, data centers and humanoid robots are yet the tangible evidence of a complex and connected world.

Datapolis contributes to a theoretical debate on data and its effects on space, architecture and envi...

De internationale Bauausstellung, ofwel IBA, wordt voor het eerst in haar historie buiten Duitsland gehouden, in in de zuidoostelijk gelegen regio Parkstad-Limburg. Wat begon als een tentoonstelling voor de moderne bouw in 1901, ontwikkelde zich tot een stedenbouwkundig instrument met vaak een krachtige impuls aan lokale economie, ruimte én samenleving.

In 2014 ging IBA Parkstad van start. Door soms fijnmazige, soms ingrijpende stedelijke en landelijke ingrepen, werd de transformatie van dit...

Serious Fun is about architecture and urban design games that have been conceived and created by architects, urban designers, artists and game developers since the end of the twentieth century – from doll’s houses to construction games and city building games, from SimCity to Block by Block.

The games are looked at from both a game technical and an architectural-critical point of view. As much attention is paid to the games themselves (the way they look, their construction and rules) as t...

For the first time in history, the Internationale Bauausstellung or IBA is

being held outside Germany, in Parkstad- Limburg, the Netherlands. What started as an exhibition for modern construction in 1901, has developed into an urban planning instrument that often provides a powerful impulse to the local economy, public space and society. IBA Parkstad was launched in 2014.

Through sometimes intricate, sometimes far-reaching urban and rural interventions and the cohesion of regional politan Par...
