Herbestemming van erfgoed is niet langer voorbehouden aan restauratiespecialisten, maar behoort tegenwoordig tot de dagelijkse praktijk van menig architectenbureau. Waar het in die praktijk aan ontbreekt, is een werkbare methodiek. Hoe breng je de vakinhoudelijke invalshoek (cultuur- en bouwhistorie) en de operationele aanpak (bouwprogramma en gebiedsontwikkeling) samen? Hoe zorg je dat de kernkwaliteiten van een pand en de beoogde functie elkaar aanvullen en versterken – en knelpunten inte...

Despite the odds, manufacturing is not in terminal decay in western cities. On the contrary, it is at the opening of a new chapter. Urban manufacturing can help cities to be more innovative, circular, inclusive and resilient.

Since the 1970s, cities world-wide have been witness to radical de-industrialisation. Manufacturing was considered incompatible with urban life and was actively pushed out. As economies have grown, public officials and developers have instinctively shifted their priori...

Structuralism represents an architecture that can interact, grow and adapt. The buildings can be recognised by their vivid open structures, composition of small units, and a spatial organisation like a city. As a reaction to CIAM functionalism, the avant-garde members of Team 10 proposed inclusive and social space and a more human form of urbanism and architecture. Starting in 1959, Dutch Structuralism became a very influential movement in the development of architecture in The Netherlands.

Multi-family buildings usually have a fixed subdivision in units with standard layouts. However, households are all different and change over time, as so do their needs and desires.

Although the Open Building approach has been embraced conceptually, with a new wave of interest in the Netherlands in r...

Major authors ranging from Henri Bergson and Walter Benjamin to Henri Lefebvre and Gilles Deleuze are discussed in order to open up thinking on the roles of perception and the cognitive sciences in today’s society. Various themes are explored. Matter and mind are considered as kinds of multiplicities that affect our distinctions between subject and object. A theoretical framework is ca...

The Architectural Record during its midcentury years of 1942 to 1967, was a riveting centre of architectural journalism following and participating in the changing development of the architectural profession. Through the Second World War and the Korean War that brought functionalist modernism to the foreword and through the emerging consumer market of the 1950s, the magazine’s editors’ mission was one of “helping this new-born architectural infant to learn to walk, talk, and attain his ...
