Win Tickets for Urbanism Week 2012!
Jeroen Beekmans

After a successful first edition in 2011, coming September the second edition of the Urbanism Week will be held, organized by POLIS – platform for urbanism TU Delft. Last year more than 200 students and 80 professionals from different nationalities took part in the workshops, lectures and debates. This year’s theme will be “Second Hand Cities, re-thinking practice in times of standstill”. The reason for this year’s theme was to share alternative solutions to the same problems cities all over the world have been experiencing for the last years during this recession. New cities are no longer designed in Europe. Instead we have to deal with what we have and redesign them such that they can sustain after their first lifespan. Many questions come to mind, questions such as: What is the role of the citizen these days? What is the best way of engaging with citizens and getting them involved in projects? It is time to explore new ways of making city. How can virtual networks help us find these ways?

Producing the Metropolitan
Interview with Joachim Declerck
Brendan Cormier
Volume #32: Centers Adrift

Flanders has long been cast as a nebular city of hyper individualized sprawl – everyone with a house and a view to the landscape – the result of a welfare state ambition that flourished after the Second World War. Joachim Declerck wants to rethink the spatial logic of this situation, recalling the historical strengths of the original city-states, this time translated to new transnational realities. With his practice, Architecture Workroom, he’s brought two new projects to the International Architecture Biennial Rotterdam and the Venice Biennale, which discuss these issues. Volume sat down with him to discuss scales of intervention, re-situating production, and the metropolitan fabric.

3D-Printed Medicines

Jeroen Beekmans

3D printing is on the rise, and it will not only affect design and architecture. Recently we stumbled upon an interesting article on Inhabitat that describes the ambitious idea by Lee Cronin, a chemist at the University of Glasgow, to build a 3D printer that is able to print medicines.

Order and Progress
Katja Novitskova
Rory Hyde
Volume #32: Centers Adrift

New Order is a catalogue of future visions for a post-carbon world. Like all future visions, they are by turns tentative, speculative, exaggerated, and subjective. But this is not to say they are mere fantasy. As in the context of today’s contemporary ideology, living patterns, and political priorities, the six visions presented here should be viewed as prototypes for a future we need to create, or will be forced to confront.

From Slaughterhouse to Aquaponics Farm
Jeroen Beekmans

Peer Foods, former owners of a meatpacking and slaughterhouse business abandoned a factory in the Union Stock Yards, Chicago. Plant Chicago recently bought the facility and started to restore it. Using a complex interrelated system, The Plant will create 125 jobs in the particularly economically distressed Back of the Yards Chicagoan neighborhood.

Adrift
Arjen Oosterman
Volume #32: Centers Adrift

‘Where is the center?’ must be the most commonly asked question when tourists enter a city. The center is where the action is supposed to be, where life is vibrant and interesting, where there’s lots to see, where you simply want to go. It is a matter of gravity and (functional) density that attracts visitors to ‘the center’. This tourist gaze is defining for our understanding of the city, any city.
The Wave Garden
Jeroen Beekmans

Architect Yusuke Obuchi created Wave Garden, a concept for a dual-function power plant and public park. Monday to Friday, the electric power plant generates energy from movement the ocean waves. During weekends, the Wave Garden changes into a public garden, "thus changing from a space of production to one of recreation and consumption", Pruned explains. The size of the recreational area changes according to the energy that is used during weekdays. The less energy used, the more area allocated to recreation.

Commodify
Jeroen Beekmans
Volume #31: Guilty Landscapes

It is typical for human beings to mould nature, justifying their actions by their aesthetic and economic aspirations. But nature cannot endure everything. In Halso’s photographs, control over nature has acquired a concrete form. The elements of nature have been rethought and have, for logistical purposes, been packed into modules that are easier to handle. The whole of nature is stored in a gigantic warehouse complex and the most common types of nature from soil and flora to fauna can be easily assembled into working ecosystems. What is happening? Has nature been evacuated to await better times, or has it been simplified into merchandise and absurd tableaux? When Halso is looking into the future she doesn’t like what she sees.
