De Raad van Toezicht heeft een nieuwe relatie opgebouwd met de Medezeggenschapsraad. Er zijn diverse gesprekken met de MR gevoerd. Het overleg is geïntensiveerd en gezamenlijk is gewerkt aan een nieuw bestuurs- beschreven. Er is een open en constructieve dialoog opgebouwd, die borgt dat zaken nu goed besproken kunnen blijven worden. De Raad van Toezicht heeft in 2012 met meer dan gewone belangstelling kennis genomen van de resultaten van het medewerkerstevredenheidsonderzoek dat in dit jaar is uitgevoerd. Het resultaat, dat medewerkers tegelijkertijd tevreden en kritisch zijn, is voor de Raad van Toezicht herkenbaar. De Raad vindt het positief dat er een goede respons is gekomen die duidelijk maakt dat de Codartsmedewerkers sterk gedreven worden door de inhoud van het werk en kwalitatief goed en studentgericht onderwijs willen leveren. Ook ziet de Raad voor zichzelf de opdracht om in gesprek met het College van Bestuur de aandacht te richten op de verbeterpunten die uit het onderzoek komen, zoals een personeelsbeleid dat er op gericht is het beste uit medewerkers naar boven te halen en een heldere interne communicatie over de koers van de hogeschool. In 2012 is een andere organisatie en een nieuwe administratieve werkwijze opgebouwd. Met medewerkers heeft gevraagd. Omdat deze opbouw pieken en dalen heeft gekend heeft de Raad van Toezicht grote waardering voor de inspanningen die zijn geleverd en voor de brede steun om de plannen ook daadwerkelijk tot uitvoering te brengen. Codarts bouwt een nieuwe samenwerkingsrelatie op met de Hogeschool der Kunsten Den het kunstvakonderwijs in Nederland en door het ministerie van OCW als zeer positief is beoordeeld. De Raad van Toezicht heeft, na overleg met het College van Bestuur, in juni 2012 het jaarverslag en de jaarrekening 2011 goedgekeurd. Mede op basis van het rapport van de accountant kan de conclusie getrokken worden dat de financiële positie van Codarts solide is. Dat geldt ook voor de liquiditeitspositie. De rentabiliteitsratio is terug op het niveau van 2009 en laat een goede verhouding zien tussen het nettoresultaat en de (totale) baten in het begrotingsjaar. Ook stelt de Raad van Toezicht met tevredenheid vast dat de accountant constateert dat de administratieve organisatie en de interne controlesystemen voldoen aan de daaraan te stellen eisen. Als Raad van Toezicht stellen we vast dat de opzet en uitwerking van de jaarrekening goed zijn uitgewerkt en dat de jaarrekening een helder inzicht in de financiële positie van Codarts geeft. 4 De nieuwe spirit van 2012 is terug te vinden in alle projecten en uitvoeringen die Codarts studenten en docenten jaarlijks laten zien. Studenten bouwen hun carrière op in bijzondere projecten die Codarts docenten, veelal in samenwerking met andere podia en gezelschappen in Rotterdam, in Nederland en ver daarbuiten, organiseren. Deze projecten, begeleid door gepassioneerde docenten in de samenwerking met gezaghebbende podia en gezelschappen, zijn en blijven de basis voor het hoogwaardige onderwijs waarvoor Codarts staat. Paul Rullmann, Waarnemend voorzitter Raad van Toezicht. 5 Voorwoord In dit jaarverslag kunt u lezen

  • Six Canonical Projects by Rem Koolhaas
    5 Six Canonical Projects by Rem Koolhaas has been part of the international avant-garde since the nineteen-seventies and has been named the Pritzker Rem Koolhaas Architecture Prize for the year 2000. This book, which builds on six canonical projects, traces the discursive practice analyse behind the design methods used by Koolhaas and his office + OMA. It uncovers recurring key themes—such as wall, void, tur montage, trajectory, infrastructure, and shape—that have tek structured this design discourse over the span of Koolhaas’s Essays on the History of Ideas oeuvre. The book moves beyond the six core pieces, as well: It explores how these identified thematic design principles archi manifest in other works by Koolhaas as both practical re- Ingrid Böck applications and further elaborations. In addition to Koolhaas’s individual genius, these textual and material layers are accounted for shaping the very context of his work’s relevance. By comparing the design principles with relevant concepts from the architectural Zeitgeist in which OMA has operated, the study moves beyond its specific subject—Rem Koolhaas—and provides novel insight into the broader history of architectural ideas. Ingrid Böck is a researcher at the Institute of Architectural Theory, Art History and Cultural Studies at the Graz Ingrid Böck University of Technology, Austria. “Despite the prominence and notoriety of Rem Koolhaas … there is not a single piece of scholarly writing coming close to the … length, to the intensity, or to the methodological rigor found in the manuscript

  • Museum and Center for Contemporary Art: Design Principles and Functional Features
    E3S Web of Conferences 274, 01019 (2021) https://doi.org/10.1051/e3sconf/202127401019 STCCE – 2021 Museum and center for contemporary art: design principles and functional features Elza Bashirova1[0000-0002-0346-1713], Elena Denisenko1[0000-0002-3155-2153], Kamilla Akhmetova1, and Vilnur Kadirov1 1Kazan State University of Architecture and Engineering, 420043 Kazan, Russia Abstract. The article discusses the topical issue of the establishment of museum and center for contemporary art. The objective of the research is to analyze the historical background of contemporary art museums; to review the world design practice of them according to urban planning, functional, architectural and expositional criteria; to reveal functional features’ trends and to identify the design principles of an advanced center for contemporary art. We collected more than 45 leading examples to compile a matrix using classification and analysis methods. As a result, we reached the museums’ functional features: administrative, exhibition, educational, recreational are fixed functions; storage and research functions are optional; cultural and entertainment are particularly additional functions. At first, art museums and centers are focused on adaption to visitors and intersection with them, secondly, on the exhibit. To sum up, we define the design principles of the ideal architectural model on the basis of urban planning, architectural, sociocultural and technological radicals. In conclusion, it is revealed that contemporary art centers have absorbed most of the historical functions of the museum and today are one of the developed types of the multifunctional architecture. Keywords. Architecture, center for contemporary art, museum, contemporary art, design principles, functional features. 1 Introduction Contemporary art, that was formed by the end of the Second World War and has been changing its appearance up to the present time, has become an integral part of the social and cultural life of a person.

  • The Diagram As a Vehicle of Transposition in the Quest of Architectural Form: Program | Typology | Drawing
    Yannis Zavoleas The Diagram as a Vehicle of Transposition in the Quest of Architectural Form: Program | Typology | Drawing Yannis Zavoleas Architect, Assistant Professor Department of Architecture, Technical University of Crete Chania, Greece [email protected] #154 PAPER #C2#5 Yannis Zavoleas The Diagram as a Vehicle of Transposition in the Quest of Architectural Form: Program | Typology | Drawing Abstract This paper discusses the impact of diagrammatic processes into architectural design. The dia- gram may be related to its scientific origin as a means of analysis and comparison of data. In accordance with diagrammatic interpretations of Jeremy Bentham’s Panopticon, also with Gilles Deleuze’s notion of “abstract machine,” the diagram operates in architecture as a means express- ing the dynamic relationships among different elements having spatial significance. With the use of diagrams, abstract information of analysis is transposed into architectural design by using codes of spatial definition. The diagram may thus be distinguished from architectural form, as the connection between them remains metaphorical. From a theoretical point, such an explanation of the diagram is illuminating, also tying up with computational practices using advanced CAD software; however, ambiguities may be raised due to the fact that, in practice, essential issues regarding the diagram’s overall functionality are often being disregarded. For example: under what conditions might it be useful arguing that the diagram has no relationship whatsoever with a sketch drawing of an architectural idea? Or, upon the assumption that the diagram is a tool aiding the conceptual manipulation of data and besides any of its representational capabilities, how would it be beneficial denying its direct or indirect contribution as a harbinger to architectural synthesis? In response, this paper redeploys the applications of the diagram in the transition from abstract notions to the first graphic sign and the gradual development of an architectural project.

Zatímco oni hledali nová využití v centru, byla pozornost všech ostatních byla namířena na průmyslové oblasti a kolem přístavu. V polovině osmdesátých se konečně začalo něco dít i s “terrain vague“ v centru města. Jedním z projektů byl 440 metrů dlouhý a 130 metrů široký Museum Park, který měl do sebe zakomponovat stávající Boymans-van Beuningen Museum a nemocnici od Jeana Prouvé . Jako kompenzaci za nepříliš ziskové akce OMA usilující o nový Rotterdam, byla kancelář pověřena návrhem parku a Kunsthal.

  • Rem Koolhaas 2000 Laureate Biography
    Rem Koolhaas 2000 Laureate Biography His writing gained him recognition as a visionary early in his career; later the combination of architecture, urban planning, research and writing solidified Rem Koolhaas’ reputation. However with many major projects completed, it is not that easy to recognize an identifiable style. He considers that a compliment because working in so many different environments and under so many different conditions, the finished work must be different too. He’s been called a modernist by some, and a deconstructivist by others, but he really defies categorization. Rem Koolhaas was born in Rotterdam in 1944. By the time he was eight years old, his father who was a writer, theatre critic and director of a film school, was invited by the government of Indonesia to become their cultural director, so Rem spent four years growing up in an exotic environment, before moving back to the Netherlands. He began his career as a journalist with Haagse Post in The Hague, and later tried his hand at screen writing both in the Netherlands and Hollywood. He had a script produced by Dutch director Rene Daalder, which he describes as an allegory using images from B movies as a commentary on contemporary Europe. By 1968, he attended the Architecture Association School in London. In 1972, he received a Harkness Fellowship for research in the United States. He studied with O.M. Ungers at Cornell University for a year, and then became a visiting Fellow at the Institute for Architecture and Urban Studies in New York. It was while in New York that he wrote Delirious New York self-described as a “retroactive manifesto for Manhattan”.
