Platform Urbanism beschrijft de toenemende mate waarin baanbrekende technologie wordt toegepast in de stedelijke omgeving.

Het gaat hierbij om veranderingen die niet alleen worden veroorzaakt door de technologie, maar ook door de interactie tussen technologische innovatie en sociale en culturele behoeften. Digitale platforms zoals Facebook, Uber, Airbnb en Amazon zijn niet alleen nieuwe soorten ondernemingen, maar staan ook voor een compleet nieuwe manier van leven – v...

A multitude of port cities dots Europe’s coastline, all serving the purpose of facilitating maritime transportation. Over millennia, public and private leaders have built harbours, urban spaces and infrastructures in diverse territories to serve hinterlands, including landlocked capital cities and metropolitan areas. As nodes on the edge of water and land, port city territories embody knowledge on maritime flows and water conditions. At a time of climate change, they can be paradigms and st...

Europese architectuur wordt gekenmerkt door een voortdurende uitwisseling van culturen, ideeën en invloeden. In de afgelopen decennia is dit proces geïntensiveerd. Ideeën die in één regio zijn ontwikkeld, kunnen migreren en elders vruchten voortbrengen. Bestaande conventies binnen de architectuur worden zo bevraagd, aangevuld en hervormd. In dit nummer van OASE wordt de poëtica van het architectonisch ontwerpen behandeld, die voortkomt uit het complexe web van Europese ideeënuitwisseli...

High-tech development—which lies at the very heart of the processes of economic growth—has been recognised by many developed and developing countries as a strategic instrument to enhance and sustain their competitiveness in the global economic network. Although the concept of high-tech development differs between countries, many share the underlying assumption that the core of high-tech development is to create a sound environment where innovation thrives. This ideology implies a definite...

In the 1950s and 1960s, thousands of churches were built across Europe in an attempt to keep up with the continent's rapid urbanisation. This book addresses the immense effort related to the planning, financing, and construction of this new religious infrastructure. Going beyond aspects of style and liturgy, and transcending a focus on particular architects or regions, this volume considers church building at the crossroads of pastoral theology, religious sociology, and urban planning.

Architectuurhistoricus Wouter van Elburg deed onderzoek naar de ruimte achter Nederlandse

voordeuren: de entree. Zijn gedachte was dat deze ruimte een rol speelt in hoe een huis verder is ingedeeld. Op basis van 2500 plattegronden van huizen tussen 1550 en 1950 identificeerde hij acht verschillende entreeruimtes.

Voor het onderzoek werd gekeken in de woonhuizencollectie van Vereniging Hendrick de Keyser én, uit oogpunt van representativiteit, naar woonhuisplattegronden die bij de Rijksdiens...

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...
