Architecture 2.0 symposium Rotterdam
(in Dutch…) about the Architectuur 2.0 symposium last friday November 9. Another post (again in Dutch) on Architectenwerk.
Although I wasn’t there so cannot really judge, questioning the role of new technologies on the practice and discipline of architecture and urban planning appears to have been absent. Which is strange, even more so considering the suggestive title of the symposium. Or has it just been omitted from these two reviews..?
