Jolan Van der Wiel Organic Architecture and Green Sustainable Architecture An Interview with the Architect by Salon Architecture (Russia) "Salon Press" publishing house Architect Ms. Nataly Eliseeva SALON - QUESTION #1 You have said that you don't believe in following any architectural theories because they don't last and aren't really connected to reality. OSHATZ- ANSWER #1 I do not think in terms of theories or styles. I make a distinction between what I do and operating within a theory of architecture. Without architectural theories the process of designing a structure remains in its purest form, simply solving a given problem. The starting point of my work is the client's program, so my first step is to divide the program into its functional and spiritual components. The requirements of architecture are such that I must go beyond what the client understands. The graphic tools used to express the design program are plan, section and elevation.

Renzo Piano Building Workshop - Official Site Louis Kahn From 1957 until his death, he was a professor of architecture at the School of Design at the University of Pennsylvania. Kahn created a style that was monumental and monolithic; his heavy buildings do not hide their weight, their materials, or the way they are assembled. Louis Kahn's works are considered as monumental beyond modernism. Biography[edit] Early life[edit] Jesse Oser House, Elkins Park, Pennsylvania (1940) Louis Kahn, whose original name was Itze-Leib (Leiser-Itze) Schmuilowsky (Schmalowski), was born into a poor Jewish family in Pärnu,[citation needed] Estonia and spent his early childhood in Kuressaare on the island of Saaremaa. In 1906, his family emigrated to the United States, as they feared that his father would be recalled into the military during the Russo-Japanese War. Career[edit] Kahn trained at the University of Pennsylvania in a rigorous Beaux-Arts tradition, with its emphasis on drawing.

Maartje Dros Public Space Research and Design Synth-ethic: Art and Synthetic Biology Exhibition — Vienna, Austria Tuur van Balen Pigeon d’Or Pigeon d’Or proposes the use of pigeons as a platform and interface for synthetic biology in an urban environment. This both micro and macro scale art project addresses the ethical, political, environmental and safety-related consequences of synthetic biology. Van Balen has designed two functional objects: The first one is an architectural contraption by which pigeons potentially become part of the museum space. Tuur Van Balen uses design objects, interventions and narratives to explore the political implications of emerging technologies in our everyday lives.
Aernout Mik | ARTtube De tentoonstelling "Communitas" van beeldend kunstenaar Aernout Mik (Groningen, 1962) was van 4 mei tot 25 augustus 2013 te zien in het Stedelijk. "Communitas" omvat Miks belangrijkste video-installaties uit de periode 1999-2013 en vindt plaats in een ruimtelijke enscenering, waardoor een indringend beeld van het artistieke oeuvre van Aernout Mik ontstaat. Mik schetst in de tentoonstelling op treffende wijze de psychosociale toestand van de huidige samenleving. Met zijn (vaak) geënsceneerde videobeelden verwijst hij naar actuele politieke en sociale thema’s, zoals economische depressie, mondiale crises, en de wijze waarop deze tot uitdrukking komen in de media.
