Ellen Kooi Above Rotterdam
High above the streets of Rotterdam, on cold winter nights, during early spring evenings, and dusky autumn days; five situations were staged and captured by artist Ellen Kooi, inside the B' Tower in Rotterdam, by architect Wiel Arets. Nearly each apartment is identical, which lends a receded repetition to the 'stage sets' Kooi created, in the tradition of her renowned landscape photography. In Kooi's 'sets', a sleeping young girl cuddles with whimsical Weimaraners; a lonely business man digitally pines for his distant love; a young couple saunters and seduces one another, inside and out; an informal dinner gathering morphs into an impromptu musical; a mother creates a dream world for her and her children, high above Rotterdam's streets. Interspersed throughout Kooi's sets of imagery are separately created scenes of poetry and prose, by artist Katrien Van den Brande, which alternate with Kooi's narratives–all graphically woven together by a design from Mainstudio. This publication is a two-dimensional immersion into a parallel urban reality, that's at once fantasy and fiction–yet remarkably familiar.

Views to volumes
Using radically different strategies, architect Marc Koehler conjured up a pair of spatially adventurous houses. For the Almere, Netherlands, house, Koehler used a building method normally seen in industrial construction: the architects clad a steel frame in corrugated steel; sandwiched between frame and cladding is polyurethane insulation. Huge picture windows define the space. For the Amsterdam house, Koehler designed an atrium/staircase that interconnects all floors in a continuous flow.

Oving caps a house with glass
Distantly echoing Buckminster Fuller's 1960 proposal for a geodesic dome to roof Midtown Manhattan-- though drastically reduced to the scale of a single-family house-- a glass pavilion on the grounds of Kamp Westerbork now caps the residence of the last commandant in charge of the Nether- lands-based transit camp. Corralled here during the Second World War were those deemed undesirable by the occupying forces-- Romani and Jews, among others-- prior to being deported to the many concentration camps across Europe.
