Contemporary international architecture English and German
Keyword: A-matter
Scope: Global
A global online medium for contemporary international architecture, A-matter documents the work of a generation with changed perspectives, a generation which lives out that much discussed duality of matter and data, of the global and the regional, of the real and the virtual, of the organic and the inorganic. Experimental projects of young architects are presented, buildings which materialise new ways of thinking and spaces with a conceptual approach to design.
Dutch housing and construction English and Dutch
Keyword: SEV
Scope: The Netherlands
The Dutch Steering Committee for Experiments in Public Housing (SEV) actively supports a broad range of innovations in housing and construction in The Netherlands, such as changes in the ownership relationship between residents and homes, urban regeneration, experimental building methods, urban quality, and the technical standards which 'a home for life' should meet.
The Dutch part of the site is much more informative than the English version. The SEV publishes a newsletter in English twice a year (free subscription).
