    www.archi-europe.com archi-news 2/2017 BUILDING AFRICA EDITO If the Far East seems to be the focal point of the contemporary architectural development, the future is probably in Africa. Is this continent already in the line 17 of vision? Many European architects are currently building significant complexes: 2/20 the ARPT by Mario Cucinella, the new hospital in Tangiers by Architecture Studio or the future urban development in Oran by Massimiliano Fuksas, among other projects. But the African architectural approach also reveals real dynamics. This is the idea which seem to express the international exhibitions on African architecture during these last years, on the cultural side and architectural and archi-news archi-news city-panning approach, as well as in relation to the experimental means proposed by numerous sub-Saharan countries after their independence in the sixties, as a way to show their national identity. Not the least of contradictions, this architecture was often imported from foreign countries, sometimes from former colonial powers. The demographic explosion and the galloping city planning have contributed to this situation. The recent exhibition « African Capitals » in La Villette (Paris) proposes a new view on the constantly changing African city, whilst rethinking the evolution of the African city and more largely the modern city. As the contemporary African art is rich and varied – the Paris Louis Vuitton Foundation is presently organizing three remarkable exhibitions – the African architecture can’t be reduced to a single generalized label, because of the originality of the different nations and their socio-historical background. The challenges imply to take account and to control many parameters in relation with the urbanistic pressure and the population.

  • THE LIMITS of TRANSPARENCY What Does Transparency Show? What Does Transparency Hide?
    THE LIMITS OF TRANSPARENCY December 11-12th, 2017 THE LIMITS OF TRANSPARENCY What does transparency show? What does transparency hide? Symposium of the Thinkers’ programme 2017 Royal Flemish Academy of Belgium for Science and the Arts December 11-12th, 2017 Palace of the Academies Hertogsstraat 1 Brussels Gerhard Richter, 4 Panes of Glass, 1967 (Installation view Anthony d’Offay Gallery, Londen, 1991) © Herbert Foundation, Gent Introduction THE LIMITS OF TRANSPARENCY What does transparency show? What does transparency hide? Thinker-in-Residence: prof. Emmanuel Alloa More transparency! This demand can currently be heard everywhere. Transparency is meant to magically solve most problems of social life in today’s democracies and the consensus holds that more transparency is unconditionally positive. Transparency is, howe- ver, not simply given, but rather the result of deliberate operations. If transparency exists only as manufactured, there can only be transparency where the manufacturing operati- ons are negated or made invisible, just as the windowpane only works if one sees through the glass and not the glass itself. The 2017 KVAB Thinkers’ programme with Emmanuel Alloa as Thinker-in-Residence wishes to raise a public debate about The Limits of Transparency. What does transparency show? What does transparency hide? How can the knowledge from the arts, and its play of visibility and invisibility, tell us something about the logics of transparency and mediation? Is the move towards transparency a move towards a more open and critical society or is there a danger that it leads to a society closed onto itself? This two-day symposium will explore the agenda of transparency in the field of politics, media, aesthetics, optics, architecture, photography, cinema, history of science, philosophy, literature, digital culture.

Groat, Chair Associate Professor Scott D. Campbell Associate Professor Fernando Luiz Lara, University of Texas at Austin Associate Professor Claire A. Zimmerman © Kush Upendra Patel 2016 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I want to express my sincere gratitude for the guidance of my chair, Linda N. Groat. This research and my overall experience in the doctoral program are immeasurably better because of her support. I am also indebted to my dissertation committee members: Scott Campbell for his optimism and engaging questions; Claire Zimmerman for assisting me in contextualizing the project and in improving my writing; and Fernando Luiz Lara for his patience and timely critique. I would not have completed this dissertation without travel grants and research funding from the Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning and the Rackham Graduate School. I would not have understood the broader stakes of my doctoral project without training in public scholarship with Rackham’s Arts of Citizenship program. I owe special thanks to Matthew Countryman, Laura N. Schram, and Mark Kamimura-Jimenez for their mentorship throughout this time. I am also deeply grateful for the pedagogical and personal support of Denise Galarza Sepúlveda at the College of LSA’s Center for Engaged Academic Learning (CEAL). I want to thank my friends at the Taubman College and peers from other departments and programs across the University who helped with the completion of this project through writing groups and precious feedback on draft chapters.

  • More Than Punctual Interventions
    More than Punctual Interventions Cultural Events, Competitions and Public Debate as Impetus for Architectural Culture Sofie De Caigny Katrien Vandermarliere in Flanders, 1974-2000 1974. Belgium was in the midst of an architectural crisis. Between 1965 and 1975, according to Geert Bekaert, architecture was slowly going under.1 Due to the economic malaise the building industry went into serious decline after 1973, and in particular young architects found it difficult to find work. Francis Strauven diagnosed the situation in 1980: ‘Once Belgian architecture had, and not without difficulty, assimilated functionalism or some derivative of it, and learned to concentrate on the production of ‘functionally’ expressive objects, it lost all sense of urban character and contextuality, and now finds it extremely difficult to recapture those qualities’.2 The malaise was caused by a mix of an ineffective or non-existent architectural policy, a politicised process of commissioning, inadequate conservation of historic buildings (with only few protected monuments) and architectural education that generally was not very inspiring and that gave short shrift to the discipline’s social responsibilities. Moreover, architects could not rely on a vivid architectural culture in Belgium.3 There were no exhibition spaces in which architecture could be shown, nor places where it could be discussed from a cultural perspective. Brussels has two architectural archival institutes since 1968 (Sint-Lukas Archives and Archives d’Architecture Moderne), but they were more concerned with the loss of Brussels’ valuable heritage of art nouveau and art deco than with contemporary architecture. There were no competitions, the workings of the Association of Architects was heavily criticized and there was no critical magazine for architecture, despite the foundation of A+ in 1973.

As nexus of architectural knowledge, these institutions have become particularly operative in contemporary society, primarily by involving a wide audience. By not only engaging the concerns of a broad audience, but allowing a broad audience to engage with the stakes, processes and concerns of architecture, architecture museums have effectively democratized the architectural discipline, inevitably altering architecture’s perception, blurring its boundaries and exploring new territories for presentation, reflection, and discussion. This dissertation attempts to precisely elucidate the question of how architecture museums have continued to impact the production and consumption of architecture, particularly as primary ii interfaces between the interiority

  • The National Giro Bank Building of Victor Bourgeois
    THE NATIONAL GIRO BANK BUILDING OF VICTOR BOURGEOIS INTRODUCTION “Victor Bourgeois? You better say: Eastern bloc architecture!” titled a short article – one of the very few – published on the occasion of the reopening in July 2002 of the renovated National Giro Bank building in Brussels.1 Victor Bourgeois designed the office block in 1937 and finished it in 1949. Unoccupied since 1990, the Flemish parliament bought it and organized an international competition to transform it into an office building for its deputies. The official press release emphasizes how Bourgeois was one of the most important architects of the modern movement in Belgium. But the quoted parliamentarian bluntly expressed his doubts on, not to say his dislike of the building’s architectural quality. The small column was found on the inner pages of the paper and would have passed unnoticed together with the day’s other fait-divers, if it didn’t surpass the simple taste of a parliamentarian. As a matter of fact, though, the negative critical judgement on Bourgeois’ later buildings has been, and still is widespread and often repeated in the field of theory and history of Belgian architecture. In an international context, a comparable negative judgment was assigned to the more mature work of architects such as J.J.P. Oud or André Lurçat, to name only two avant-gardists who seem to have 1 given up modernism at a higher age. What distinguishes the Belgian architect from his colleagues however is that this critical reception is part of a larger picture, which assigns a rather ambivalent place to Victor Bourgeois in the history of modern architecture in Belgium.
