  • New Trends En El Mundo
    1 NEW TRENDS EN EL MUNDO La cuarta edición del New Trends of Architecture comenzó en Patras, Grecia, Capital europea de la Cultura 2006, en Junio de ese mismo año. La inauguración fue el día 2 de Junio del 2006. New Trends of Architecture fue fundada en el 2001 por un grupo de consejeros japoneses de la cultura y los medios de comunicación, de quince estados miembros de la Unión Europea, Instituciones Culturales europeas y de la Delegación de la Comisión Europea en Japón. El objetivo es crear una plataforma que constituya una oportunidad para compartir ideas y experiencias entre Europa y Asia Pacífico, a través de exposiciones anuales y simposiums para arquitectos emergentes europeos, japoneses y de otros países del Pacífico que tendrán lugar en Japón y otras capitales europeas. El proyecto fue reconocido no solo por el mundo de la arquitectura sino también por el mundo diplomático. El antiguo director de la comisión europea, Romano Prodi y, el primer ministro de Japón, Junichiro Koizumi, mencionaron este proyecto especialmente como un programa de intercambio importante durante la cumbre euro japonesa en Julio 2002. En el año 2004, coincidiendo con la ampliación de la Unión Europea, la tercera edición de New Trends of Architecture fue presentada como una nueva iniciativa: un proyecto para las regiones de Europa y el Pacífico asiático. La exposición, acompañada de un simposium, fue organizada en Lille, Hong-Kong, Tokio, Cork, Melbourne y Anyang. En cada ciudad resultó ser una fuente de encuentros e intercambios enriquecedores. El concepto básico de este proyecto fue inspirado por la idea europea de la Capital Europea de la Cultura.

  • The Gallery Club Architecture in Photography
    Architecture in The Photography Gallery Four generations of Dutch Club architectural photographers The Gallery Club presents Architecture in Photography Four Generations of Dutch Architectural Photographers This exhibition focuses on four generations of Dutch architectural photographers, starting with Jan Versnel, who began working late 1940’s, followed by Jannes Linders and Iwan Baan, and concluding with Ossip van Duivenbode, whose work is from the last decade. The four photographers in this exhibition capture a wide variety of Dutch architecture in their images: from the work of the distinguished Nieuwe Bouwen (Dutch Modernism) architects Brinkman & Van der Vlugt to that of contemporary architects, such as Rem Koolhaas / OMA, Benthem Crouwel Architects, MVRDV and UNStudio / Ben van Berkel. International architects, such as Tadao Ando and SANAA, are also featured in the show. Together these photographers embody more than sixty years of Dutch architectural photography, capturing the development of the urban and architectural landscape. This presents a unique image of time and the special observation of four different photographers, who are inviting the audience to look with a different perspective than the eye of the architect. The Gallery Club is a platform for photography, organized around exhibitions, dinners and events. Every edition of The Gallery Club explores the work of a wide range of Dutch and international photographers through a different theme. www.thegalleryclub.com Jan Versnel 1924-2007 Photographer Jan Versnel is the most influential architectural photographer of his generation, known for his immaculate images of architecture, interiors and products. Contemporary architectural photographers see him as the pioneer of Dutch architectural photography and consider his work an important inspiration for the entire discipline.

We zijn een moderne stad, geroemd in binnen- en buitenland, de laatste jaren vooral door de nieuwe bijzondere gebouwen die er zijn neergezet. En er komt nog veel meer aan, kan ik u vertellen. Daarover straks meer. Rotterdammers weten natuurlijk al jaren dat we een mooie stad zijn. Ik ben daar zelf voorbeeld van: ik kwam hier als vierjarig jochie wonen en ben nooit meer weggegaan. Desondanks was die trots op de stad meer iets onbewusts. Een gevoel dat alleen werd uitgesproken als niet-Rotterdammers het waagden iets negatiefs te zeggen over mijn stad. Maar zo is het al lang niet meer. Er waren eigenlijk buitenstaanders nodig om ons wakker te schudden. Sinds kranten als The New York Times en The Guardian Rotterdam in het vizier hebben gekregen en sinds we op allerlei ranglijsten staan, kijken we met andere ogen naar onze stad. Zelfbewust worden via de u-bochtconstructie noem ik het. Opeens beseffen we dat Rotterdam inderdaad bruist. En dat we best hardop mogen zeggen dat we trots zijn op onze stad. Het blijft niet alleen bij woorden. We zijn inmiddels een trekpleister voor nieuwe bedrijven en toeristen. Ook willen steeds meer mensen in Rotterdam wonen of blijven wonen: jonge gezinnen, hoger opgeleiden en oud-Rotterdammers die terugkeren vanuit de randgemeenten.
