D/2000/7515/17 ISBN 90-5682-248-9 For my grandmother Acknowledgements Five years ago, I had to decide on a subject for my graduate’s thesis. Professor Herman Neuckermans made the suggestion to have a look at Case-Based Design, at that time a ‘hot topic’ in the field of CAAD. Computers were not exactly what I would call my cup of tea, but I nevertheless accepted his suggestion – not in the last place because it would enable me to spend one semester at the ETH in Zürich. Although the thesis became an unqualified success in terms of scores, it left me with an uneasy feeling. Judging from the literature, the applications of Case-Based Design in architecture were not (yet) convincing. Yet, the underlying ideas seemed so plausible, that I could not dismiss it as the umpteenth flash in the CAAD pan. Immediately after my graduation, I received a grant from the Fund for Scientific Research (FWO) Flanders, which enabled me to pursue the matter with a doctoral research. During the course of this research, I’ve had a lot of help and support. It would be impossible to mention everyone I met and exchanged opinions with, who gave me suggestions and encouragement. But among them, I feel a special obligation to thank, above all, Professor Neuckermans, who generously invited me into his CAAD-lab, thus giving me access to his personal expertise, his research budget (especially the part meant for travelling), his library and – last but not least – the daily help and friendship of his other CAAD-assistants. Among them, a very special thanks goes to Benjamin Geebelen, Bart Geeraerts and Kris Nuyts for the 1013 ways in which they have contributed to – and once in a while kept me from – my work. In 1997/1998, the CAAD-lab was temporarily reinforced by Raf Segers, the first thesis student I’ve supervised and, more importantly, the living dynamo behind DYNAMO. The data analysis for the evaluation of DYNAMO and the experimental study on the effects of examples was performed in close collaboration with Dr. Ilse Verstijnen from the department of Psychology. Collaborating with the “dépendance in de Tiensestraat” – Professor Johan Wagemans, Ilse and Pim – was not just instructive, I really enjoyed it. The collaboration with Jan Bouwen from the department of Applied Economics was less structural, and above all less self-evident, but therefore not less fruitful. I am indebted to him for his exchanged opinions, suggestions and encouragement in the course of my research, and for his detailed constructive comments on earlier drafts of this text. In addition to Professor Wagemans, I would like to thank Professor André Loeckx and Professor Jan Schreurs for the stern and critical, but productive way in which they accomplished their task as members of the supervising committee. Thanks also to Professor Albert Dupagne (Université de Liège) and Professor Rivka Oxman (Technion, Haifa), who have accepted to be on the jury. I am, of course, extremely grateful to the architects I’ve interviewed – Jan Delrue, Mauro Poponcini, Paul Van Aerschot, Werner Van dermeersch, Paul Vermeulen and Peggy Winkels. They have given their precious time very generously and have made the writing of chapter 4 a fascinating and thoroughly rewarding experience. In addition to the CAAD-colleagues, I was given considerable help (and support) by many other staff members and students of our department. In particular, I would like to thank all those who have contributed to the experiments. They are (amongst others): the students and the titular of the 2nd year Basic Design course; the studio teachers Evi Corne, (once again) Mauro Poponcini, Ann Verdonck and Hans Verplancke; the external judges Guido Geenen and Ivo Vanhamme; the students and the titular of the 4th year design studio; the studio teachers Hans De Petter, Leo Van Broeck and (once again) Ivo Vanhamme; and the external judges Heike Löhmann and Piet Stevens. Karen Depoortere and Paul McHale were continuously helpful during my work by keeping an eye on the grammar and spelling of the text. For encouraging me all the while, not only as I worked on this thesis, but also during my study, I am very grateful to my parents and my sister and, for his daily on- line support, to Toon. They saw me through the good times and the bad, and were always convinced that I would succeed, especially when I was not. Thanks are due to many friends who have supported me in multiple ways. However, particular thanks go to Liesbet, Veerle and Gunther for their extra encouragement during the last months, and to the members of the working group ‘Woman and University’, for holding up themselves as stimulating example. I dedicate this work to my grandmother, who had to miss me on many Sunday afternoons. My talents are hers, the opportunities I was given are the ones she should have got. In case of architectural design Critique and praise of Case-Based Design in architecture Architects are said to learn design by experience. Learning design by experience is the essence of Case-Based Design (CBD), a sub-domain of Artificial Intelligence. Part I critically explores the CBD approach from an architectural point of view, tracing its origins in the Theory of Dynamic Memory and highlighting its potential for architectural design. Seven CBD systems are analysed, experienced architects and design teachers are interviewed, and an experiment is carried out to examine how cases affect the design performance of architecture students. The results of this exploration show that despite its sound view on how architects acquire (design) knowledge, CBD is limited in important respects: it reduces architectural design to problem solving, is difficult to implement and has to contend with prejudices among the target group. With a view to stretching these limits, part II covers the design, implementation and evaluation of DYNAMO (Dynamic Architectural Memory On- line). This Web-based design tool tailors the CBD approach to the complexity of architectural design by effecting three transformations: extending the concern with design products towards design processes, turning static case bases into dynamic memories and upgrading users from passive case consumers to active case-based designers. Case-Based Design in architectuur Een kritische studie Architecten, zo beweert men, leren ontwerpen uit ervaring. Leren ontwerpen uit ervaring is de essentie van Case-Based Design (CBD), een sub-domein van de Artificiële Intelligentie. In deel I wordt de CBD-benadering onderworpen aan een architectuurkritische studie. CBD is gebaseerd op de Theorie van het Dynamische Geheugen, en biedt het architectuurontwerpen heel wat voordelen. Zeven CBD systemen worden doorgelicht, ervaren architecten en ontwerpbegeleiders worden geïnterviewd, en de impact van concrete ontwerpervaring (cases) op de ontwerpprestatie van architectuurstudenten wordt experimenteel onderzocht. Hieruit blijkt dat CBD bijdraagt tot een beter inzicht in hoe architecten leren ontwerpen, maar beperkt is qua visie op het architectuurontwerpen, implementatie en gebruikerscontext. Deel II beschrijft het ontwerp, de implementatie en de evaluatie van een Dynamisch Architectuur-Geheugen On-line (DYNAMO), een ontwerpinstrument dat de CBD-aanpak poogt af te stemmen op de complexiteit van het architectuurontwerpen. Het verschuift de aandacht van ontwerpproducten naar ontwerpprocessen, vervangt statische case bases door een dynamisch geheugen, en maakt van de gebruikers actieve case-producenten in plaats van passieve case- consumenten.

  • News and Events in from Holland This Autumn Current and Future Events
    News and Events in from Holland this Autumn Current and future events & exhibitions Current David Cronenberg - The Exhibition, EYE, Amsterdam Until 14 September 2014 EYE presents a major exhibition focusing on director David Cronenberg, who acquired cult status with his idiosyncratic films about the relationship between body, mind, technology and mass media. Curated and organized by the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF), the exhibition explores Cronenberg’s world through the main themes of his films: the physical and psychological transformation of his protagonists. Highlights of this exhibition include the weird and wonderful special effects items from Cronenberg’s films, together with bizarre props, set photos and original costumes. Cronenberg has worked with famous actors such as Jeff Goldblum, Keira Knightley, Holly Hunter, Jude Law, Jeremy Irons and Robert Pattinson, whom he challenged to push the boundaries of their profession. Fashion, the musical, Centraal Museum, Utrecht Until 30 November 2014 Fashion illustrator Piet Paris is guest curator for Centraal Museum. More than 150 items are selected by Piet Paris from the Centraal Museum collection and presented in a surprising manner: as scenes in a musical. Taking the visitor from backstage and the red carpet to – eventually- the stage, he shows more than fifty looks by designers such as Comme des Garçons, Maison Martin Margiela, Iris van Herpen, Viktor & Rolf, but also 17th and 18th century costumes. Paris wants to show fashion in context, and not isolation. He combines fashion with objects, which he actually puts to use: ticking clocks, flower-filled vases and burning lights. He breaks the anonymity of the mannequin by giving each one a complete outfit, as well as a face drawn by the illustrator himself.

  • The Urban and Cultural Climate of Rotterdam Changed Radically Between 1970 and 2000. Opinions Differ About What the Most Importa
    The urban and cultural climate of Rotterdam changed radically between 1970 and 2000. Opinions differ about what the most important changes were, and when they occurred. Imagine a Metropolis shows that it was first and foremost a new perspective on Rotterdam that stimulated the development of the city during this period. If the Rotterdam of 1970 was still a city with an identity crisis that wanted to be small rather than large and cosy rather than commercial, by 2000 Rotterdam had the image of the most metropolitan of all Dutch cities. Artists and other cultural practitioners – a group these days termed the ‘creative class’ – were the first to advance this metropolitan vision, thereby paving the way for the New Rotterdam that would begin to take concrete shape at the end of the 1980s. Imagine a Metropolis goes on to show that this New Rotterdam is returning to its nineteenth-century identity and the developments of the inter-war years and the period of post-war reconstruction. For Nina and Maria IMAGINE A METROPOLIS ROTTERDAM’S CREATIVE CLASS, 1970-2000 PATRICIA VAN ULZEN 010 Publishers, Rotterdam 2007 This publication was produced in association with Stichting Kunstpublicaties Rotterdam. On February 2, 2007, it was defended as a Ph.D. thesis at the Erasmus University, Rotterdam. The thesis supervisor was Prof. Dr. Marlite Halbertsma. The research and this book were both made possible by the generous support of the Faculty of History and Arts at the Erasmus University Rotterdam, G.Ph.

The Fagus factory, with a radical break from the conventional design practice, represents for the first time a new expression of architecture, which develops space and form from function, takes into account the light, air and lucidity require- ments of its users and makes use of the new technical possibilities of construction with glass and steel in industrially pre-produced processing. Glass, which is actually an unsubstantial material,becomes a formative building material and mode of expression of architecture.The design concepts underlying this construction had a decisive influence on the development of twentieth century architecture not only in Germany and Europe, but around the globe.

  • Los Van De Aarde Architectuur Van Moderne Beweging Ontsnapt Aan Materie
    LOS VAN DE AARDE ARCHITECTUUR VAN MODERNE BEWEGING ONTSNAPT AAN MATERIE PETER TIMMERMAN Hoog in de koepel van een barokkerk lost het materiaal waar het gebouw van gemaakt is op in licht of in een trompe- l’oeilschildering. De architecten probeerden hiermee het rijk van God uit te drukken: de immateriële hemel, verheven boven de aardse realiteit. In de moderne bouwkunst, aan het begin van de twintigste eeuw, zien we ook diverse pogingen om aan de materialiteit van het gebouw te ontsnappen. Gebouwen verliezen hun zwaarte en lijken door de toepassing van ijle constructies en veel glas te zweven in de ruimte, alsof ze van licht en lucht gemaakt zijn. n zijn klassiek geworden boek Space, Time and Architecture voerd, zoals bijvoorbeeld te zien is aan de luifels rond de centrale I(1941) beschrijft Sigfried Giedion het Bauhaus (Dessau, 1925) eetzaal.

He is one of the pioneers of the French Street Art movement alongside others like Jérôme Mesnager, Miss Tic and Blek le Rat. By imposing a powerful, innovative style in the early 1980s, Speedy influenced a generation of urban artists. Though his work has evolved considerably over the past few decades, he has become known and revered for his exploration of commercialism and references to pop culture images and icons. After a very brief career as a graphic designer and art director, in 1983 Speedy joined the collective X- Moulinex,[1] but left the following year.[2] In 1985, he was on the first meeting of the graffiti and urban art movement in Bondy (France), on the VLP's initiative, with Jef Aerosol, Miss Tic, SP 38, Epsylon Point, Blek le rat, Futura 2000, Nuklé-Art, Kim Prisu, Banlieue-Banlieue… By 1989 Speedy Graphito had participated in a number of group art exhibitions mostly in Paris, and by the late 1990s Speedy Graphito’s unique street art style was exhibited in art galleries across Europe.

  • 2.3.1. EL HOMBRE BORRADO Stam Y La Creatividad Colectiva
    2.3.1. EL HOMBRE BORRADO Stam y la creatividad colectiva. [Fig 1.] Imagen de Le Corbusier y Mies, retocada para la portada de The Heroic period of modern architecture, Allison y Peter Smithson, 1965. [Fig2] Fotografía original. “Me llamo Erik Satie, como todo mundo. Ser Satie es ser irrepetible, esto es, encontrar un modo propio de disolverse hacia el triunfal anonimato, donde lo único es propiedad de todos”. Juan Villoro Pocos arquitectos modernos habrán sufrido un trato más dispar en la historiografía moderna como Mart Stam. Varios de sus coetáneos le relegaron a un papel más que secundario en sus estudios como Henry-Russel Hitchcock1 (1931) o Lewis Mumford (1947) que condensaron de forma simplista toda su obra bajo el epígrafe de riguroso funcionalista con un claro matiz negativo fruto de tendencia crítica de esta postura en la década de los 30: 1 Hitchcock en The International Modern Style, NY, 1932). Mumford en The Skyline, The New Yorker, 10 de noviembre de 1947 401 "For these men it is an absurdity to talk about the modern style in terms of aesthetics at all" Hitchcock "Mr. Sigfreid Giedion, once a leader of the mechanical rigorists, has come out for the monumental and symbolic" Mumford Es cierto que la investigación histórica confirma el papel esencial jugado por Stam en los congresos de los CIAM en la severa formulación de los planteamientos más deterministas. Más que Gropius o incluso que Hannes Meyer, Stam parece personificar el rol del más radical cambio en el núcleo del movimiento moderno, que en palabras de los Smithson supuso el vacío estilístico que de alguna manera había de llenarse con función y sociología.2 Aunque no deja de resultar paradójico que los Smithson admiraran su arquitectura precisamente por los rasgos estilísticos, principalmente en sus proyectos destinados a la publicación.
