The loss of the building designed by the architect Van den Broek triggered the launching of an international competition inviting ideas for a new building. 466 entries from 50 different countries were submitted, and the winner was announced a month ago. All the entries can be seen in the exhibition ‘Building for Bouwkunde’, held at the NAI Rotterdam from 15 March to 7 June.

“The City as a Project”: New PhD program from Berlage Institute and Delft University of Technology

Feb 2009

By Sebastian J — Filed under: Architecture News , Berlage Institute, Delft University of Technology, PhD Programs

The Berlage Institute is offering, in conjunction with the Faculty of Architecture at the Delft University of Technology, a new three-year PhD Program in Architecture devoted to the study of how the form of the city can be theorized, represented, and projected. The program encourages speculations that take positions towards the city-at-large by questioning and using architectural knowledge itself. This knowledge of architectural forms and representations will be used to speculate about the city and its political, social, and cultural organization.
