Wiel Arets: Inspiration and Process in Architecture Free FREE WIEL ARETS: INSPIRATION AND PROCESS IN ARCHITECTURE PDF Wiel Arets,Kenneth Frampton,Francesca Serrazanetti,Matteo Schubert | 144 pages | 16 Dec 2012 | Moleskine srl | 9788866134701 | English | Milan, Italy Biography - Wiel Arets Architects His father was a book printer and his mother was a fashion designerboth from whom he learned respect for the tradition of craft and a love of books and reading. He is married and has two children. Arets' work is generally characterized by a minimalistgeometric and austere approach that responds to local contingencies in a flexible way, with Arets explaining:. Subsequently, Arets organized the first European exhibition of Tadao Ando's work. With the decline of industry the city lost most of its status as an industrial area in Limburg and Frits Peutz faded from architectural prominence. As a student Arets undertook extensive research in the archives of Peutz's office, eventually producing the monograph 'F. J Peutz Architekt ' and an accompanying traveling exhibition. While in Japan Arets visited and interviewed several prominent architects including Fumihiko MakiKazuo ShinoharaItsuko Hasegawa and Tadao Andolater publishing these interviews and articles in the Dutch architecture magazine de Architect. All of this was achieved without abandoning for the moment the minimalist expression of an architecture degree zero, derived in part from Sol LeWitt and in part from Tadao Ando. In Arets completed the library of Utrecht Universitysituated in the Uithof area of the campus designed by OMA which dictated a strict orthogonal requirement for all buildings. The library's Wiel Arets: Inspiration and Process in Architecture glazing is screen printed with an image of bamboo shoots created by the photographer Kim Zwartsreturning as a tactile imprinted surface pattern on the library's interior prefabricated concrete panel walls, which are painted black. This 'tactility' has since returned to more of Arets' projects in the form of imprinted-concrete or screen printed glass exteriors. This is a building that would never appear dull. It offers a moment for everyone. In Arets' studio won an international competition to design the IJhal at Amsterdam Centraal Stationpart of the city's plan to revitalize the waterfront by reconnecting it to the river IJ. In Arets published his first theoretical text, 'An Alabaster Skin', in a monograph of the same title. Greg Lynn interprets the piece as so:. Light is admitted from the outside during the day and the interior emanates a glowing light at night. The polished surface of the blank curtain wall reflects the adjacent buildings while allowing permeability. Arets was Dean of the Berlage Institute from where he Wiel Arets: Inspiration and Process in Architecture the school to a research based institute focusing on 'progressive-research', public lectures, publications, field trips, and intensive debates. I think laboratory simply means you have a theme, and you collectively do investigations and research. And then, at the end of the year, you have a result, which is presented in the school's publication, HUNCHwhich was originally edited by Jennifer Sigler. This was, and still is, not just a publication of only student work; rather, HUNCH was where we also published the work of guest lecturers, the important research of the trips, and everything we thought belonged to the year theme.

This book gathers together projects and theoretical reflections immortalized through exacting, oversized perspective views, snapshots, photographic sequences and architectural ideograms in felt pen. The book opens with an essay by Kenneth Frampton, while previously unpublished hand sketches and coloured pencil perspectives fill the pages. Wiel Arets, former director of Berlage Institute and currently Dean of the Illinois Institute of Technology College of Architecture, is known for his academic progressive research and hybrid design solutions. He has taught in many universities and designed numerous important buildings, including the Academy of Art and Architecture in Maastricht and the university library of Utrecht. This book, collecting sketches, maquettes, project drawings and notional references from architecture to science or music intermingled in graphic narratives, composes a highly autobiographical and layered manifesto. Theoretical ideas and architectural practice coexist systematically, tracing out Cino Zucchi's scientific and personal profile. He's well known for his projects for the residential buildings in the former Junghans area of Venice and those of Nuovo Portello in Milan, and for the extension of the National Wiel Arets: Inspiration and Process in Architecture Museum in Turin.

    41. PLT Theater, Burgemeester Van Grunsvenplein 145 bouwjaar 1961 architect Frits Peutz/Bernard Bijvoet stijl Modernisme De voormalige Stadsschouwburg Heerlen draagt nu de naam Theater Heerlen en maakt deel uit van de Parkstad Limburg Theaters. Het gebouw beschikt over drie zalen een theatercafé́ en een foyer waar kan worden opgetreden. De grote zaal is, met een capaciteit van 1.057 zitplaatsen, de grootste theaterzaal van Limburg. In de vrije, strakke architectuur van de buitenkant overheerst het verticale, als tegenwicht voor de horizontale lijnen van de omliggende flats. De inspringende, donker gehouden onderbouw is hier medeverantwoordelijk voor. De rekwisieten- en decortoren is in de theater-architectuur vaak dominant aanwezig maar is hier een nauwelijks opvallend element. Uitnodigend is de grote raam- en vensterpartij in het front, gemaakt van aluminium en in beton gevat. Het wat bonkige gebouw verwijst met zijn ondoorzichtige vliesgevels en door het ontbreken van uitbundige versieringen naar de industriële architectuur in de ‘mijntijd’ Ir. Bijvoet was verantwoordelijk voor de inrichting van de grote zaal. Verschillende andere schouwburgen in Nederland waren in die jaren van zijn hand. Slijtage en het niet meer voldoen aan de huidige wet- en regelgeving maakten een ingrijpende restauratie en renovatie van de schouwburg noodzakelijk. Het gerenoveerde theater is in 2013 opgeleverd. 42.

    PRESS RELEASE Heerlen, 18 July 2019 The Heerlen Rooftop Project: an ambitious architecture competition. SCHUNCK announces an international urban design idea competition for an urban rooftop project in the heart of the city of Heerlen (NL). The city centre of Heerlen is characterized by a dense and diverse urban rooftop landscape. Large grey and sterile roof surfaces dominate the view from above. SCHUNCK and Heerlen aim to explore this unused surface potential for gardening, arts, farming, cultural festivals, music, cinema, coffee houses, sports, tiny housing and much more. Rooftop projects in cities across the globe prove that gardens, art, recreation and/or business activity can turn ugly sterile spaces into something special. To start a transformation, SCHUNCK invites architects, urban planners, landscape architects and designers to participate in this international competition. The participants are asked to submit their design ideas for the city-centre rooftops in Heerlen to make these rooftops accessible and sustainable. More competition information on: https://schunck.nl/en/rooftop-competition/ The deadline for registration is: 25 August 2019 About The Heerlen Rooftop Project The concept for The Heerlen Rooftop Project has two principal action lines: • stimulate owners in the city centre of Heerlen to make their own rooftops accessible and sustainable. • initiate and co-organize recurring Rooftop Festivals with the municipality of Heerlen and multiple, cultural partners to encourage (local) stakeholders, participants, entrepreneurs

    Wiel Arets: ‘Ik vond het niet makkelijk om bij mijn huis mijn eigen opdrachtgever te zijn’ door Bernard Hulsman 26 PRO10/06 Lange tijd had het architectenbureau van Wiel Arets alleen een vestiging in Zuid-Limburg, eerst in Heerlen, later in Maastricht. Maar sinds 2003 heeft Wiel Arets architects en associates, zoals het bureau officieel heet, een dependance in Amsterdam, in De Lairessestraat om precies te zijn, niet ver van het Concertgebouw. Arets bureau, dat in 1984 werd opgericht en waarbij Bettina Kraus zich in 1997 als partner voegde, heeft nu dan ook veel werk. Wiel Arets: ‘Ik vond het niet makkelijk om bij mijn huis mijn eigen opdrachtgever te zijn’ door Bernard Hulsman Ook over opdrachten in het verleden heeft Arets Arets begon zijn carrière, als zovele architecten, met kleine opdrachten. Toch beschouwt hij weinig te klagen: zijn oeuvre is indrukwekkend zichzelf niet als een archetypische architect die klein begint en groot eindigt. “Ik zie mezelf en vooral ook divers. Hij ontwierp onder meer niet als een klassieke architect”, zegt Wiel Arets in een ruime kamer op de eerste verdieping politiebureaus in Vaals en Boxtel, een Academie- van het pand in De Lairessestraat. “Dat wil zeggen: als 7-jarig jongetje wilde ik helemaal gebouw en kantoorgebouw in Maastricht, geen architect worden.

Inleiding Mozaïek van eilandjes Na de ondertunneling van de A2 en de komst van de Groene Loper is de studie Stad en Spoor een volgende stap om het stadsdeel Maastricht- Oost een nieuwe toekomst te geven, met een volwaardiger plek in de stad Maastricht. Een toekomst begint echter nooit vanaf nul. Ze bouwt voort of reageert op wat in het verleden is ontstaan. Ze maakt gebruik van de kansen die het verleden presenteert of herstelt de tekortkomingen die daarin zijn gegroeid. Om dit in het studiegebied van Stad en Spoor goed te kunnen doen, moeten we dat verleden leren kennen. Dit document biedt daarvan een impressie. Geen doorwrochte en allesomvattende historische studie, maar een sfeertekening van waarom de oostelijke spoorzone in fysiek/ruimtelijk opzicht zo is geworden zoals ze nu is. Door de oogharen kijkend, zien we een gebied dat nog het best valt te omschrijven als een ‘mozaïek van eilandjes’, van buurtjes die door allerlei historisch te verklaren oorzaken nogal in zichzelf zijn gekeerd.

  • X-Screens: Röntgen Architecture
    When Wilhelm Conrad Rntgen first published his very recent discovery of the X-ray in December of 1895 in an article entitled “On a New Kind of Rays, a Preliminary Communication,” he wrote about a new form of transparency in which “bodies behave to the X- rays as turbid media to light.”1 The invisible rays 01/13 are described as a “medium” that penetrates objects and is revealed on screens. A floating technical surface acts as the most intimate witness of the otherwise hidden interior. An architecture is established that inverts the classical relationship between inside and outside, an architecture we still live in today, with our countless screens monitoring endless Beatriz Colomina invisible flows. Architects, historians, and theorists quickly absorbed the new paradigm – developing an entire logic of the invisible in the X-Screens: early decades of the twentieth century that remains largely in place. New medical screens Rntgen are today creating new forms of architecture as the relationship between inside and outside Architecture passes through another twist. New forms of intimacy are emerging. ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊEven before he mentions X-rays, Rntgen describes in the second paragraph of his paper a new concept of transparency closely linked to the idea of a “screen.” The screen is actually made of a piece of paper coated with a thin layer of “barium platinum cyanide” that glows fluorescent when exposed to the rays. He marvels at the fact that paper itself is very transparent when seen through such a a “fluorescent screen,” so the screen is really just n i m the thin layer of barium platinum cyanide.
