Sonic Acts Academy 2018 Reader
Taking the form of a reader, this publication is both a playground and a radical syllabus. It presents artistic and theoretical practices that focus on experimental educational practices and the critical examination of knowledge production in the field of art. Among others it contains: a speculative essay of the on the role of museums from the year 2030 (by Nora Sternfeld); a mediation on composer and mathematician Catherine Christer Hennix; one episode from Nicole Hewitt’s project This Woman Is Called Jasna, a speculative history in nine instalments covering 20 years in the life of a woman from Vukovar who works at the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia in The Hague; an essay on the history of the container – the synecdoche of logistics – as part of a global system of capital by Charmaine Chua; research about sinkholes that have rapidly started appearing in the past decades on the shores of the Dead Sea by Sasha Litvintseva and Daniel Mann; and Aisteach, an imaginary archive of the Irish avant-garde curated by renowned sound artists Jennifer Walshe.
Ruimte en leren
In het omvangrijke oeuvre van Herman Hertzberger is de bouw van scholen een van de belangrijkste opgaven. Hij bouwde tot op heden ruim dertig scholen. Volgens Hertzberger is scholenbouw vandaag de dag een van de weinige deelgebieden binnen de architectuur waarbij de ontwerper nog de menselijke condities kan bepalen en beïnvloeden. Hij stelt dat er evenwicht moet zijn tussen gebruik, functionaliteit en de architectuur van schoolgebouwen, waarbij de architectuur geïnspireerd wordt door het onderwijs. Juist met de huidige ontwikkelingen in het onderwijs, van klassikaal naar meer individueel gericht onderwijs, dienen de gebouwen steeds opnieuw bedacht te worden. De wisselwerking tussen onderwijs, onderwijssystemen en architectuur is evident. In Ruimte en Leren legt Hertzberger zijn ruime ervaring, kennis en opvattingen vast in een theoretische beschouwing over de ruimtelijke condities van leren.
The Conflict of the Faculties
Artistic research is an endeavour in which the artistic and the academic are connected. In this emerging field of research artistic practices contribute as research to what we know and understand, and academia opens its mind to forms of knowledge and understanding that are entwined with artistic practices. Henk Borgdorff also addresses how we comment on such issues, and how the things we say cause the practices involved to manifest themselves in specific ways, while also setting them into motion. In this sense, this work not only explores the phenomenon of artistic research in relation to academia, but it also engages with that relationship.
The Future of Architecture
At eighty, internationally acclaimed Dutch architect Herman Hertzberger invited colleagues and students to reflect on the future of architecture. While questioning the profession's status as 'the discipline par excellence that has lent itself to the representation of a new, better world', Hertzberger acknowledges that 'it is exactly when the ground under your feet is collapsing that you need elevation'. In this pamphlet, Herman Hertzberger, Anna Heringer, Jean-Philippe Vassal and other contributors opt for ' building as building up, composing, multiplying, improving and establishing: the opposite of decline'. Recognizing the need to change our lifestyle and the way we build if we want to preserve the planet for future generations, these pages offer optimism, making the case to abandon all preconceptions and imagine a new way of practicing architecture that is not a derivative or feeble reflection of today's reality. The envisioned architect is sensitive to ecology, responsible, fair, creative and communicative.
Entangled
How technologies, from the mechanical to the computational, have transformed artistic performance practices.
The Responsible Object
Imagine how future archaeologists will discover countless things we have thrown away: plastic and metal objects, discarded electronics, synthetic textiles, and other items that do not easily decompose; the leftovers of an age of rampant, imperishable objects. Today, in an economic system that revolves around producing and consuming such things, we now face how to deal with them in the challenges that lie ahead. The intrinsic design ideologies of sustainability and social responsibility are often not new. This book presents a history of socially committed design strategies within the Western tradition.

The Emergence of Form
'The Emergence of Form' is a publication about design. It concerns the necessity of producing exactly the right form, just as in nature. A look at the evolution in the oeuvre of Maria Blaisse allows us to visually follow how one form, as it were, emerges from another. In this publication Maria Blaisse discusses her in-depth research into form in various materials and the numerous application possibilities, both autonomous and product-oriented. This idiom of form is examined from various perspectives from other disciplines.
