  • Warning Global Warming: a Poster Project by Per Arnoldi with Jcdecaux
    Warning Global Warming : a poster project by Per Arnoldi with JCDecaux Paris, September 2nd , 2019 – In close collaboration with international non-profit The Climate Group , which annually hosts Climate Week NYC, and JCDecaux, a new poster by Danish artist Per Arnoldi will appear on 40 sites in New York, displayed in Manhattan, Brooklyn and Queens, from September 3 rd , 2019. Using a play of words, as well as image, the dramatic, minimal, and articulate language of the poster sends out a GLOBAL WARNING in the context of the threat of global warming. To coincide with the meeting of the United Nations General Assembly (GA74, September 17 th through September 24 th , 2019), the poster campaign will bring the climate crisis to the fore. From the day before the start of the General Assembly, a 15-second long animated version of the poster will be displayed 24-hours a day on 12 JCDecaux digital bus shelters in the area around the UN building. The posters and animations will run until September 30 th , which will give the world’s press, UN delegates, residents, and passers-by a full month to take in the gravity of the subject. The campaign will generate more than 17 million impressions during its installation. The exhibition is supported by The JCDecaux Group and New Carlsberg Foundation. Achieving economic growth while respecting people and the environment is at the heart of our model. As a core element of JCDecaux's strategy, sustainable development enables us to anticipate future changes and represents a significant driver of growth and innovation.

  • Exploring Amsterdam by Tram
    Exploring Amsterdam by tram Trams are a convenient and simple way to get around Amsterdam. But even more than just a way to get from A to B, a tram ride can be a sightseeing tour in itself, taking in some of the city’s best sights and attractions along the way. There are three tram routes (1, 2 and 5) that travel up and down a central ‘spine’ of Amsterdam, from Centraal Station to Museumplein and back again. Tram #1, #2 and #5 Stop: Centraal Station As Amsterdam’s main transport hub, Centraal Station is a familiar starting point for most visitors to the city. The spectacular building opened its doors in 1889, and was designed by architect Pierre Cuypers, who also designed the Rijksmuseum. What to see and do: • Check out the vintage shops, hip cafes and arty design stores of vibrant Haarlemmerstraat to the west • Take the free ferry from behind Centraal Station to trendy Amsterdam Noord • Explore Oosterdok to the east of the station, making sure to take in the view of the city from NEMO’s rooftop terrace and stop for a drink at Hannekes Boom. From Centraal Station, the tram heads south down Nieuwezijds Voorburgwal, once the city’s defence line (‘burgwal’ means ‘bastion wall’). Stop: Nieuwezijds Kolk Continue south, passing behind the impressive Nieuwe Kerk on your left. Despite being called ‘New Church’, this imposing monument actually dates from the 15th century and is only ‘new’ in relation to the nearby Oude Kerk (old church) which was deemed too small to be the parish church of Amsterdam’s expanding population in 1408.

  • Press Release the Architect's Studio
    Press release 08 September 2001 The Architect's Studio - Norman Foster A new exhibition of the work of Foster and Partners has opened at the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art in Humlebaek, just outside Copenhagen. It is the third in the series of exhibitions entitled "The Architect's Studio" which examine the design process and working environment of contemporary architects. The previous subjects were the American architect Frank Gehry and the Danish architect Henning Larsen. The exhibition gives an insight into the working methods of the Foster studio located on the Thames riverside at Battersea. Everyone - whatever their job-description - has a place at one of the long workbenches; the arrangement is very fluid with no division between design and production. The average age of the 600 staff is about 30 and as many languages are spoken in the studio. The building is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Most offices keep visitors at arm's length. The Foster studio, in contrast, is completely open. Visitors can enjoy the bar - the social focus of the studio - and meetings, whether formal or informal, occur in the midst of the creative process itself. The story of this unique studio and the very special way it works, is the theme of this exhibition: the working process - the path from idea to realisation. The design process is explored through two buildings that are currently under construction. The Swiss Re tower is a skyscraper in the City of London and the Chesa Futura is a small apartment building in St Moritz in Switzerland.
