Poster for Archis: The Dutch Outlook on Architecture

Research in Progress

Promtional poster for magazine, ARCHIS No. 8, '89. All text in white on background composed of three vertical quadrilaterals in light blue against darken blue. Text reads: " ACRHIS No. 8, '89/ "I Believe that all great architects have failed./ Their work serves as an example precisely because it/ has failed. That is why modernity is still living; as/ a failture, not as a success."/ DANIEL LIBESKIND/ ARCHIS No. 3, '89/ "For a good three years now I have been occupied/ in ridding myself of the stigma of modernity,/ just beacuse in the netherlands it is practised with,/ such indolence."/ Rem Koolhaas/ ARCHIS No. 1, '93/ "Visions of genius are part of social climate. What/ I don't like is for these references to be derived,/ so that a Picasso is regarded as having sprung from "Nothing"."/ Hermann Pitz/ ARCHIS No. 1, '93/ "At the present time, we architects have ideals/ which are held in check by irony. Irony is a/ moderate emotion, it isn't satire, it isn't coarse,/ it's laughing at yourself a bit. But that laughter/ is very serious."/ Denise Scott Brown/ ARCHIS No. 11, '92/ "Let us at least bear witness, time and time again,/ and for no-one, to thought as a catastrophe, as/ nomadism, as disparity and unemployment./ If we cannot make engravings, let us at least do/ our graffiti."/ Jean-Francois Lyotard. " Three rows of dots in quotes. Imprinted at right over three squares: "YOUR NAME HERE" (in white)/ ARCHIS (in black, across bottom)/ THE DUTCH OUTLOOK ON ARCHITECTURE" (in white).
