Van Le Corbusier tot MVRDV en van Diller+Scofidio tot Peter Eisenman: ontwerpers loerden al vanaf het einde van de jaren ’20 naar film, benieuwd of dit medium de representatie en communicatie van architectuur en stedenbouw zou kunnen verbeteren.

De films in Spots in Shots laten ons de gebouwde omgeving op een verrassende en verrijkende manier ervaren. Hun makers vertellen via omwegen over architectuur. De verhalen gaan niet zozeer over de materie, constructie en bek...

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 opening up of increasingly divers...
