A challenging brief formulated by Hein van Haaren (dec. 2014) and Gerard Hadders put five competing design agencies -Atelier de Creation Graphique (Paris), TCHM (Rotterdam), Mevis + Van Deursen (Amsterdam), Profroma (Rotterdam) and Qwer (Köln) – on the path of developing a hybrid graphic identity; a system of signs and typography. This to cover the demand for a multiple applicable ‘toolkit' as a basis for communicating the multiethnic en cultural character of the city of Rotterdam; ‘Rotterdam is many Cities'.</p> <p>Written by Toon Lauwen and Hugues C. Boekraad, and designed by the competitions winning agency Mevis and van Deursen it is a celebration of creative thinking within the development of graphic identities and still stands as an example of ‘out of the box' thinking.</p></div> Die wahre Geschichte vom Minotaurus | The true history of the Minotaur https://www.proartsdesign.nl/spip.php?article392 https://www.proartsdesign.nl/spip.php?article392 2015-09-04T11:01:53Z text/html en Gerard Hadders <p>To view booklet on Yumpu click here. <br class='autobr' /> Booklet explaining the graphic identity of the Kunstmuseum Wolfsburg to children.

Twee dingen vallen daarbij op. <br class='autobr' /> Een van de eerste vragen van mobiele bellers is steevast: Waar ben je?<br class='autobr' /> Dat is dus blijkbaar essentieel om te weten in deze tijd. Voorheen waren we eerder erin geïnteresseerd of iemand er überhaupt was – en vooral of hij het goed maakte, getuige de hoffelijkheidscode: ‘hoe maakt u het'; of alledaagser: ‘hoe gaat het'. Er bestond daarbij geen enkele twijfel over de plaats waar iemand was – je belde overwegend van en naar vaste locaties.<br class='autobr' /> Mobiliteit is daarentegen een kenmerk bij uitstek van deze tijd. Het kan zo zijn dat je iemand belt, die net even een tripje maakt in een ander werelddeel. ‘Hou het kort, ik zit nl. in China en het wordt anders veel te duur', krijg je dan te horen. Maar ook dit euvel zal in de concurrentieslag van telecomgiganten binnen no time van de wereld zijn.<br class='autobr' /> Daarmee raken we aan het tweede aspect dat de huidige oriëntatiemiddelen aankleeft: de veranderde relatie tot de aarde. Om te weten waar we zijn, maken we gebruik van systemen die niet meer situatiegebonden zijn. Het satellietsysteem dat aan de basis ligt van GPS betreft een netwerk van zo'n 30 satellieten die in vaste banen permanent de wereldbol omronden. Voor onze oriëntatie kijken we daarmee niet meer naar de grond, maar richten ons tot de ruimte.</p></div> De Hoftrompet https://www.proartsdesign.nl/spip.php?article383 https://www.proartsdesign.nl/spip.php?article383 2014-11-22T14:11:37Z text/html en Gerard Hadders <p>To view De Hoftrompet on Yumpu click: https://www.yumpu.com/nl/document/view/30839278/de-hoftrompet-zichtbaar-maken-wat-niet-gezien-wil-worden <br class='autobr' /> De Hoftrompet was onderdeel van een monumentaal kunstproject wat de start inluidde van de herontwikkeling van het Hofpleinviaduct; 'het langste gebouw van Nederland'.

Dit spoorviaduct werd na 100 dienstjaren uit gebruik genomen en voorzien van de bestemming als verbindend element te dienen in de herontwikkeling van o.a. Bergpolder en het Liskwartier, een wijk aan de noordgrens van Rotterdam. Het project beoogde de aandacht te vestigen op wat al decennia als een lelijk obstakel werd beschouwd en dus door de buurtbewoners naar het onderbewuste verbannen wat wel vaker gebeurt met onontkoombare urbane lelijkheid. Om de aanwezigheid van het viaduct en de urgentie van haar herontwikkeling te onderstrepen moet het wel weer naar de waarneembare realiteit gebracht worden. Dat gebeurde door het monumentaal benummeren van de afzonderlijke bogen en het aanbrengen van verwijzende teksten, dit alles met behulp van in heldere kleuren gechabloneerde cijfer en lettervormen. Als ondersteunende activiteit werd De Hoftrompet ontwikkeld. Een in muurkrant 'format' uitgevoerde reeks teksten die betrekking hadden op de Hofpleinlijn in haar breedste zin. Van coctailrecepten - het treintje was het reismiddel bij uitstek om mensen uit het slaperige Den Haag naar het bruisende uitgaansleven van Rotterdam te brengen - tot aan historisch teksten en aktes over geschiedenis van de buurt en de landgoederen die er aan haar bestaan voorafgingen.</p> <p>The Hofplein viaduct (1905-1908) is a 1.9-kilometer-long viaduct, built in the northern part of Rotterdam in the early 20th century. It consists of 189 arches and forms the start of a railway line linking Rotterdam with The Hague and Scheveningen. The Hofplein viaduct is owned by Hofbogen BV, a private enterprise, set up in 2006 by four Rotterdam-based housing corporations. A carefully considered new use for this former railway line will make a key contribution to upgrading the quality of the northern suburbs of the city. Since 2007 Hofbogen BV, under the leadership of Crimson Architectural Historians, has already undertaken several projects, ranging from small-scale temporary cultural events to large-scale restoration.</p> <p>An important point of focus in Hofbogen's activities is the temporary redevelopment of the old Hofplein station, which, due to its prominent location in the Pompenburg development area, forms an important link with Rotterdam city centre. At present it is a bleak residual site right next to Hofplein and bounded by the Schiekade, the Heer Bokelweg and Pompenburg; however, in view of its central location in the city, important urban development will take place here in the future. In anticipation of this development and the future transformation of the viaduct itself, the former Hofplein station will be transformed into a bustling heart for activities such as art, culture, youth services and education.</p> <p>After a long wait for the starting signal for the renovation of Hofplein Station the green light was given in early 2009. Amidst thick clouds of dust, the spaces under the first seven arches have been fully restored to their original monumental state. The still extant interior has been completely stripped, the reinforcement has been cleaned and the concrete of the vaults and columns repaired to prepare the spaces for the programme that Hofbogen has developed. For a period of ten years, Hofbogen will transform the adjacent arched spaces into an attractive place for Rotterdam's residents and visitors. The roof of Hofplein Station will also be included in the plan. First of all the arched spaces will be transformed into a Creative Mini Mall (design by: Peña Architecture and Afarai) so that in early 2011 entrepreneurs, artists, musicians, designers and other creative minds can move in and change Hofplein Station into a lively, dazzling place of culture for the young.</p></div> New Towns and the Human Species https://www.proartsdesign.nl/spip.php?article382 https://www.proartsdesign.nl/spip.php?article382 2014-11-21T16:56:24Z text/html en Gerard Hadders <p>To view essay on Yumpu click: https://www.yumpu.com/en/document/view/30737666/new-towns-and-the-human-species-visual-start-document-for-the-inti-website <br class='autobr' /> The concept of Newtowns is usually presented within an architectural visual framework aka 'inhuman' whereas Newtowns are intrinsic developments for the Human Species and maybe some cats and dogs.

This essay surveys the image of our species as connected to planning.</p> <p>The International New Town Institute (INTI) is a non-profit scientific knowledge institute based in the center of the New Town Almere, close to Amsterdam (the Netherlands). INTI is dedicated to improving the quality of global urban development, with a focus on New Towns. INTI is independent and not necessarily an advocate or promotor of New Town planning.</p> <p>We believe that in order to improve the quality and sustainability of future New Towns, we can learn from existing New Towns today. Why? New Towns have many similarities: they were designed from scratch according to planning doctrines of one specific period, they have experienced relatively fast urban growth, they demonstrate specific demographic patterns and they contain a homogeneous housing stock. The result of all this is that many New Towns struggle with the same problems: a uniform demography, a lack of educational, cultural or other facilities and too little diversity in the housing stock. Because of their young age, New Towns also face a lack of history and identity and usually suffer from image problems. Because many New Town developments are quite similar, also their challenges are often quite predictable.</p></div>
