Exhibition summary

This piece reflects on the concepts of the 'Jaarboek Architectuur in Nederland 2019-2020', discussing how architectural ideas can become outdated in rapidly changing times. It delves into societal shifts, the role of architects in addressing these changes, and the limitations of the yearbook's curated content in fully representing contemporary architectural practice.

Curatorial context

This content explores the timely reflections presented in 'Jaarboek Architectuur #13', focusing on the 'Jaarboek Architectuur in Nederland 2019-2020'. It highlights how the past months have underscored the rapid obsolescence of established values and architectural concepts, prompting ARCAM's inventory and contemplation of these ideas. The piece notes that while the cover of the yearbook may feature a prominent building, the essays within delve deeper into the spirit of the times. It discusses the necessity for sensitivity and empathy in architectural discourse, touching upon critical debates regarding representation, inclusivity, and the perception of architects within society, particularly concerning diverse communities. The text references the upcoming 'Omgevingswet' and the increasing demand for user participation in shaping their living environments, suggesting a need for new approaches that connect architecture with residents' experiences. It also touches upon economic factors affecting the housing market and advocates for a new role for architects that emphasizes collaboration and trust with clients and users. The article acknowledges that the selected projects in the yearbook may not yet fully embody these evolving positions, partly due to the yearbook's focus on built projects in the Netherlands by Dutch firms, which can create gaps in representing the full spectrum of contemporary architectural practice. It references discussions that explore how stories and shared history can form the foundation for new meanings and resident engagement, and how housing construction can move beyond mere regulatory compliance to foster a greater sense of belonging.
