Habitat: Expanding Architecture
18 October 2018 - 9 March 2019
Six ecological approaches
The CIAM material from the 1950s has been supplemented with more recent work to illustrate how ecological and theoretical approaches to architecture have since been interpreted in different ways: the studies on the relations between settlements and landscape formations of Pjotr Gonggrijp, the transformative interpretation of the Dutch delta landscape by Frits Palmboom, the ecological interventions by planner and activist Joost Váhl, and the discussions surrounding the Tanthof district in Delft, designed by Van den Broek and Bakema together with the Tanthof working group. Some projects from the 1980s are also shown, such as the Nieuw Nederland (New Netherlands) exhibition and the 'Tapijtmetropool' ('Patchwork Metropolis') research by Willem Jan Neutelings.
