    Leentje Volker In the past few years the image of tender procedures in Deciding which Dutch public clients selected an architect has been dominated by distressing newspaper headlines. Architects fear that the current tender culture will harm the quality of about Design Quality our built environment due to a potential lack of diversity, Value judgements and decision making in the creativity and innovation in architectural design. Due to potential risks clients often allow legal requirements to selection of architects by public clients under overrule their actual wishes. This PhD research addresses the origin of the problems as currently experienced by public European tendering regulations commissioning clients in architect selection and proposes Deciding about Design Quality pragmatic implications for future practice. It is therefore of interest for commissioning clients, management consultants, policy makers and legal advisors but also for designers and researchers in the field of architecture and decision making. Based on four empirical cases the author shows that during architect selection the rational legal requirements clash with the psychological process of decision making. Decision makers only start to make sense of the proposed designs once they are confronted with the alternatives. It is therefore about Design Quality almost impossible for clients to design a selection procedure and announce the criteria and weighting factors up front, as required by procurement law. The scientific underpinning of the findings is found in four theoretical perspectives on value judgements in design and the latest decision theories in which sensemaking, emotion, intuition, and expertise play prominent roles. The thesis proposes fifteen factors for a successful design of a tender procedure to select an architect.

    Gideon Maasland Director, and Architect, Gideon Maasland (NL), joined MVRDV in 2016. With extensive experience acquired at several high profile Dutch offices, Maasland leads MVRDV’s Studio 8, which is responsible for large-scale, complex buildings in the Netherlands and abroad. He leads the development, and construction of Valley, a 75,000 m2 mixed-use building in Amsterdam, as well as the construction of a 61.800 m2 residential tower project in the Hague, and the transformation of Jaarbeurs in Utrecht, a trade fair of 170.000m2. Besides this, Maasland is working on several projects in Poland, and the UK. Other exceptional projects include the Glass Farm in Schijndel, The Crystal Houses in Amsterdam, and the Balancing Barn in Suffolk, England. “I love to work on buildings that make a difference to the people using them or living close to them. At first glance, you might think these projects will never happen, because they are too difficult, too expensive, or not technically possible, but with the help of a large team of experts, and dedication to relationship management, anything is possible. There are no good projects without good clients.” - Maasland Profession Education 2001-2004 Technical University, Delft, Netherlands Director Architecture and Urbanism Architect 1998-2001 Technical School, Amsterdam, Netherlands Years of experience Bachelor in architecture 16 Professional 2016 / - MVRDV, Rotterdam, NL.

Roland Deiser Considers Corporate University Structures IEDP Ideas for Leaders Bridging the Academic Corporate Gap www.iedp.com Viewpoint Business Models Galore The Colorful and Diverse World of Corporate Universities “It would appear from 15 years of data that a corporate university is whatever a corporation decides it is.” By Roland Deiser his fall, a delegation of 15 executives from major Russian corporations will visit Germany in the course of a learning expedition to find out about great examples of Corporate Universities (CUs). The delegation is led by Russia’s largest bank, Sberbank, who is especially ambitious here; they recently opened a flagship university near Moscow that serves not only internal Tpurposes but provides a visibly branded educational institution for Russian society at large. A similar project has been launched by Qatar Petroleum in an effort to strengthen the conglomerates’ capabilities and, at the same time, position the Gulf country as a hub for the knowledge economy. It seems that despite economic turmoil, the concept of CUs is quite alive; it may even face a renaissance. Over the last year or so, activity has also picked up in Western Europe, where CUs have been around now for about 15 years. Major players such as BASF, Bayer, SAP, or ABB, who so far have held back and refrained from joining the club, are currently huddling over blueprints for innovative learning architectures that they hope will help address their complex capability challenges.

  • What Is the Enlightenment? 200 Years of the Print Room in the Library of the University of Warsaw
    What is the Enlightenment? 200 years of the Print Room in the Library of the University of Warsaw The Print Room of the Library of the University of Warsaw (BUW) was established in 1818, and it contains the oldest public collection of prints and drawings in Poland. Until 1939, it was also the biggest collection of its kind. Despite the heavy losses suffered during the Second World War, the Print Room has maintained its unique position in the history of Polish collections due to the artistic and historical importance of its artworks. The origins of the BUW collection go back to King Stanisław August’s own Print Room, which was purchased from the king’s heirs in 1818 on the initiative of Stanisław Kostka Potocki, minister of the Government Committee for Religious Denominations and Public Education, who also donated a generous portion of his own collection. The drawings, prints, architectural designs, and volumes were entrusted to the Public Library, which had been created a year earlier in 1817, and operated at the Royal University of Warsaw (the Public Library later became the Library of the University of Warsaw). The traditional name of the king’s collection—the Print Room—was now assigned to the department that holds all of the library’s artworks. The Print Room became an important artistic, educational, and academic centre for the university as well as the city of Warsaw. It was able to keep expanding its collection thanks to purchases, donations, and the ‘legal deposit policy’. After the failure of the November Uprising (1831), the collection was confiscated and moved to Saint Petersburg where it was taken over by the Imperial Fine Arts Academy.

They witnessed the country’s complicated past and its many transformations. fter countless wars, partitions and other political and social turbulences, Athe preserved and restored castles and palaces are now part of Poland’s histori- cal heritage. Despite the wartime destruction, priceless monuments of the past remained untouched in many places. Others were restored or reconstructed with such meticulous care that they became works of art no less important than the original structures. By far, the boldest such undertaking was the reconstruction of the Royal Castle in Warsaw. Whether preserved or restored, castles and palaces are full of life these days. They are homes to museums and/or education centres. They are venues for cultural events or out-of- doors Sound and Light events. They function as luxury hotels with spa facilities, while res- taurants in castles and palaces take diners on journeys to the times of hunters’ parties and opulent feasts of the Polish nobility of olden days. ▶ ▶ Many layers of history are still waiting to be discovered. They are hidden either in Medieval strongholds made of earth, stones and wood, or in ruined, but still impressive, fortifications, or in castles of the Teutonic Knights, or in castles rearranged by aristocrats to become family residences, each more opulent than the last.
