Rotterdam Architecture Month: Hypermodern Architectural Typologies
Month of Architecture 18th of June / 15.00 – 17.00 p.m. / Nieuwe Instituut Rotterdam / Room 1 It sounds futuristic but it’s no science-fiction at all: computers will soon exceed the computational capacities of the human brain. The key driver behind this development is artificial intelligence, affecting our physical and virtual realms to such […]
Architecture/33
The monumental effort of 15 years of architectural analysis at the faculty of Architecture at TU Eindhoven has resulted in a stunning collection of 144 models, all white, all scale 1:33. From May 1 until June 3, the models are exhibited in a fictional city encompassing the entire breadth of architecture history. Finissage: June 2, […]
Exhibition: Architecture in a Hyper-Liquid world
The ongoing digital revolution since the 1990s onwards leading to ever more networked societies has changed power balances, wealth and knowledge distribution and increasingly encroaches the relative independence of the disciplines of architecture and urbanism and us humans. As our bodies, buildings, and cities are being retrofitted with technology to gain dynamic intelligence and contextual […]

Datapolis
Rotterdam Havenstad is no more and the westward move of the port has allowed for the city to reengage with its waters. DATAPOLIS is part of an urban intervention on Katendrecht that explores how Rotterdam could alternatively reengage with the water in former port areas.
Exhibition: Network vs. Place
Walking through Oud-IJsselmonde (a peripheral neighborhood of Rotterdam) we stumble upon an odd scene. Children are rollerblading down faints asphalt hills, to a background of monumental, if not sublime, concrete monoliths supporting the Van Brienenoordbrug, the busiest bridge in our country.
Destruction of Architecture
What better way to start the academic year than to forcefully destroy, obliterate, twenty-five pristine analytical models? Layers of white paint and MDF, held together by the blood, sweat and tears of students that have slaved over them—for days, weeks or perhaps even months—gone in a matter of minutes. The models represent a cross-section of […]
Excursion to Japan
In the early morning of July 11, the students of the Intermediate Size embarked upon a journey that left a scorching impression in their memory. “To Japan!”, the tutors exclaimed when discarding of their luggage at the Schiphol check-in. What followed was an adventure that opened our minds.
The intermediate size of the port : between water and city
Rotterdam, city with the biggest port of Europe. Much has been written on the urbanism of Rotterdam in relation to this giant port, by Umberto Barbieri, Frits Palmboom, Michelle Provoost and Paul van de Laar to name a few. This research proposes a synthisizing and graphic view of Rotterdam and its port.
