“Unexpected” domesticity: Housing design of OMA’s IJ-plein masterplan project in Amsterdam
No full textThis article focuses on the OMA’s IJ-plein master plan located on a former shipping wharf in Amsterdam North (1980-1988). Particularly in the domesticity of the different dwellings, which were designed by six other offices, including the one by Koolhaas, and were 100% for social housing. This project is considered one of the turning points of what finally culminated in the 1990s’ Super Dutch. Several authors have studied this project, particularly Bernard Leupen, author of the book “IJ-Plein. Een speurotcht naar niewusw compositiorische mideelen” [IJ-Plein. A search for new compositional idea] (010, 1989). However, as Leupen himself pointed out, his study lacks specific issues, such as evaluating dwellings and their use. It was published immediately after the project ended. More recently, other authors have studied the project, such as Christophe Van Gerrewey in “A Weissenhofsiedlung for Amsterdam” (Anyone, 2018) or Lara Schrijver in “Stubborn Modernity, IJ-plein Amsterdam” (OASE, 2015). While these are significant contributions, they do not delve into the design of the dwellings, developing questions related to commissioning, process, or precedents. This study offers a new analysis of the project with an emphasis on housing design: not only on their novel interpretation of modern tradition at the time of their conception, but on the inherent and unexpected domesticity of their typological proposals today.Space & Typ
Triest Plein - Monumentality, Representation, and Democracy
No full textThe Caritas Psychiatric Center (PC Caritas) in Melle, Belgium, is a clinic campus consisting of about a dozen buildings embedded into a park. Sint Jozef, named after the priest Petrus Jozef Triest from Gent, Belgium, is one of the remaining villas built in 1908 and centrally located on the campus. It was initially used as a treatment center for so-called “hysterical women” and has experienced multiple changes of functions over time. Like other buildings on the campus, it was considered not to meet today’s requirements anymore and therefore decided to be demolished. Thanks to the research collective BAVO, the demolition was halted midway, and competition to start a second life of the ruin was initiated. The experimental concept presented by architecten de vylder vinck taillieu was chosen and developed further together with multiple participants, including doctors and clinic staff, patients and visitors, and others. The project was then renamed Kanunnik Petrus Jozef Triest Plein, in short Triest Plein (Triest Square).AR1A061Architecture, Urbanism and Building Science

Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction: relevance of a dedicated dyspnoea clinic
No full textBackground and aims Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is a syndrome with a heterogeneous presentation. This study provides an in-;depth description of haemodynamic and metabolic alterations revealed by systematic assessment through cardiopulmonary exercise testing combined with exercise echocardiography (CPETecho) within a dedicated dyspnoea clinic. Methods and results Consecutive patients (n = 297), referred to a dedicated dyspnoea clinic using a standardized workup including CPETecho, with HFpEF diagnosed through a H2FPEF score >= 6 or HFA-PEFF score >= 5, were evaluated. A median of four haemodynamic/metabolic alterations was uncovered per patient: impaired stroke volume reserve (73%), impaired chronotropic reserve (72%), exercise pulmonary hypertension (65%), and impaired diastolic reserve (64%) were the most frequent cardiac alterations. Impaired peripheral oxygen extraction and a ventilatory limitation were present in 40% and 39%, respectively. In 267 patients (90%), 575 further diagnostic examinations were recommended (median of two tests per patient). Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging, coronary or amyloidosis workup, ventilation-perfusion scanning, and pulmonology referral were each recommended in approximately one out of three patients. In 293 patients (99%), 929 cardiovascular drug optimizations were performed (median of 3 modifications per patient). In 110 patients (37%), 132 cardiovascular interventions were performed, with ablation as the most frequent procedure. Conclusion Holistic workup of HFpEF patients within a multidisciplinary, dedicated dyspnoea clinic, including systematic implementation of CPETecho reveals various haemodynamic/metabolic alterations, leading to further diagnostic testing and potential treatment changes in the majority of cases.The authors thank all the cardiology fellows who have contributed in performing the exams in the dyspnoea clinic of Jessa Hospital (Hasselt, Belgium) over the years. In addition, a special thanks go to Nancy De Laet, Mathilde De Dobbeleer, Daisy Thys, and Peter Vanvoorden for their vital paramedic support in the clinic
An intellectual plein air: a walk through the Rozanov places of Yelets
No full textThis paper is an original reconstruction of the Yelets text of the Russian religious philosopher Vasily Rozanov. The author draws up a map of Rozanov’s addresses in Yelets and conducts an intellectual plein air over them, inviting students to it. During an intellectual walk along provincial Yelets, an attempt is made to reconstruct Rozanov’s Yelets routes. Each place, marked during the plein air could be described by Rozanov in his texts. This form of academic dialogue is held for the first time and can serve as an alternative to traditional classroom forms of communication. The author sees the intellectual plein air as an attempt to capture and describe the images of the departing Yelets in the way the Russian philosopher might have seen it. Any timely fixation of the memory of Rozanov today turns out to be the correct tactical decision. The current Yelets is gradually giving in to the impulses of modernization. In addition to the intellectual temptations of new readings of Rozanov’s texts in the framework of this plein air, this form of academic dialogue, taken outside the framework of the university audience, solves another problem. The author considers new aesthetic horizons of the familiar ethnic landscape. Yelets expands anew, containing the memory of an outstanding representative of Russian culture, and becomes a part of world culture

‘Unexpected’ Domesticity: The Oost III Housing Project in IJ-plein Amsterdam Urban Plan by Rem Koolhaas/OMA (1980-1988)
No full textIn Amsterdam Nord, on the banks of the IJ, is located IJ-plein, the urban plan designed and built between 1980 and 1988, by a team led by Rem Koolhaas and the Office for Metropolitan Architecture. From this extensive urban plan, which was devoted entirely to social housing and included education and leisure programmes, this research draws attention to the Oost III section, located on the easter end side of the plan. The Oost III buildings were also designed by Koolhaas/OMA and consist of mainly two housing blocks: a larger one facing a wharf, which is elevated on a podium and pilotis where other programmes are included, and a short one behind.The Oost III blocks comprise many different types of housing, which ranged from two to five rooms, and include also a large collective unit for mentally handicapped. Of these, the smallest housing are the so-called ‘HAT’ units, a novelty in response to the initiative launched in 1975 by the state secretary of Volkshuisvesting en Ruimtelijke ordening, to deal with the problem of affordable housing for singles or pairs, in the nota ‘Huisvesting Alleenstaanden en Tweepersoonshuishoudens’. This paper addresses the design of the Oost III in relation to the ‘HAT’ units: could the smallest units offer another lecture on this section of IJ-plein?The domesticity of the ‘HAT’ units, of their materiality and their subjects, shows the extent to which they challenge the inherent meanings and understanding of housing architecture when the family is no longer the norm, with all that this entails. Here, ‘unexpected’ domesticity refers to the concept of ‘housing the unpredictable’, in other words, the multiple possible realities of home life. This concept is explored at the different scales of the Oost III urban section: the ‘HAT’ housing unit; the interior spaces of the blocks that connect these units, such as the access system; and the exterior spaces of this urban plan. For an ever-changing society, a particular reinterpretation of modern precedents embraced the new.Building Knowledg
Gaelscoileanna : un système éducatif en plein essor
No full textThe present study is meant to describe and comment upon the importance of all-Irish schools in Ireland, their role and place in society. The question is therefore to know whether this system of all-Irish education is the best way to promote the language since the Irish language is part of the Irish curriculum. Yet, education through Irish enables to associate language and culture in order to create the best atmosphere to its teaching, the goal of Gaelscoileanna being to teach the pupils how to use Irish in a meaningful way. We will also see through the example of the Diwan schools in Brittany that this renewal of Celtic languages is not to limited to Ireland.Cet article a pour but d'évaluer l'importance des écoles gaélisantes en Irlande, ainsi que leur rôle et leur place dans la société. La question est de savoir si les écoles gaélisantes peuvent être considérées comme le meilleur moyen de promouvoir la langue puisque le gaélique fait partie du cursus scolaire irlandais. Cependant, l'éducation par le biais du gaélique présente la particularité d'associer langue et culture afin de créer un climat propice à son enseignement, le but de Gaelscoileanna étant d'apprendre aux élèves à utiliser le gaélique de manière utile. Nous verrons également à travers l'exemple des écoles Diwan en Bretagne que ce renouveau des langues celtes ne touche pas uniquement l'Irlande.Bakeland Guillaume.
