Oslo kommune ba Miljøverndepartementet avklare hvordan Småhusplanen kan anvendes etter kommunens intensjoner, etter at en del klagesaker har fått medhold hos Fylkesmannen.

NEUES MUSEUM IN BERLIN
Es darf gestritten werden: Bevor das restaurierte Neue Museum in Berlin im Oktober eröffnet wird, können es Besucher Anfang März bereits besichtigen. Die Umsetzung des Architekten David Chipperfield wird das Publikum spalten. Denn seine Arbeit ist ein zusammengeklebter Trümmerrest.
Jetzt steht eines der ehrgeizigsten, teuersten und künstlerisch anspruchsvollsten Museen Europas vor der Wiedereinrichtung, im Oktober soll eröffnet werden - mit der Büste der Nofretete als prominentestem Kunstwerk. Schon heute lässt sich voraussagen, dass die Reaktionen des Publikums zwiespältig ausfallen werden.
Die überwältigenden Raumschöpfungen des Architekten Friedrich August Stüler aus der Mitte des 19. Jahrhunderts werden kontrastiert durch eine Restaurierungs-Philosophie der Brüche, der Flecken- und Ruinenhaftigkeit, die mit einer Didaktik des erhobenen Zeigefingers darauf verweisen möchte, dass das Haus nur ein zusammengeklebter Trümmerrest des Originals von 1855 ist.

PARIS SHOULD BEWARE THESE GRAND ARCITECTURAL DESIGN
Architecture critic Jonathan Glancey in The Guardian, London:
"No single architect can ever right the city's wrongs, or come up with ideal, universal solutions. Plans on anything like a big scale will need the involvement of many different people and sectors of Parisian society if they are to have a chance of working. They need to be matched by hundreds of small plans that will allow the streets of Paris from the Marais to Marne-la-Vallée to flourish in a way that is all their own"

IS RIBA RIGHT TO INVITE PRINCE CHARLES TO SPEAK?
Yes, the prince has been good for architecture, says Robert Adam; no, counters Jack Pringle, he has abused his regal celebrity to promote his uninformed views

ABSENT ZAHA HADID CRITICISED AT BARBICAN DEBATE
Cameron Sinclair, co-founder of Architects for Humanity and archetypal rabble-rouser, led the charge. “When I heard… [Hadid] would be a part of the debate, I was quite shocked about that. It’s like asking Robert Mugabe if he’d like to speak about human rights.”

A PRINCE WHO JUST HAPPENS TO BE RIGHT
The Prince of Wales is no stranger to controversy when it comes to architecture and he has fought some bloody battles over the years.
Thus his intervention in the scheme at Chelsea Barracks is significant. He regards the Lord Rogers design as inappropriate (no doubt a euphemism for “hideous”) for a site alongside Sir Christopher Wren’s Royal hospital.
His involvement has infuriated the architectural establishment, as can be seen on our letters page today.

IS ROGER'S PLAN FOR CHELSEA BARRACKS GOOD URBANISM?
Yes, says MJ Long, it’s an integrated scheme that has rhythm and style; no, says Alan Baxter, its public realm content is insufficient and it destroys the existing street pattern

QUINLAN TERRY DESIGN TOPS CHELSEA BARRACKS POLL
Prince Charles' preferred architect leads Richard Rogers' modern design with 60% of votes.
The Building magazine internet poll, which pits Richard Rogers' original design for the development against one by Quinlan Terry, follows Prince Charles' recent comment that the more traditional architect would be a better choice for the scheme.

THE GREEN HOUSE OF THE FUTURE
We asked architects to draw up plans for the most energy-efficient houses they could imagine. They imagined quite a bit.
Learning from the past. Looking to the future isn't the only way to be innovative. The house from architect Steve Mouzon, of Mouzon Design in Miami Beach, Fla., uses tomorrow's technologies while mining ancient techniques to reduce energy use.

PARIS CITIZENS WANT TOWERS TO BE DEMOLISHED
Prominent French newspaper LE FIGARO has published the results of a poll among Paris inhabitants. Citizens hate Modernist buildings. They consider them as "funerary monuments" and want them to be demolished.
Especially towers.

DOES LONDON NEED A NEW VERNACULAR FOR HOUSING?
Yes, it would offer coherence to our developing neighbourhoods, says Alex Ely; while Joe Morris argues that it means an indigenous but anonymous architecture

CHARLES SHOULD STCK TO HIS GUNS
The carbuncle crew are still hard at work. The glass boxes, blobs and phalluses thrown up now by architects show little has changed since the prince's 1984 speech
So is it over? The culture war between the Prince of Wales and the doyens of modern architecture has been running for a quarter century. It was supposedly ended on Tuesday night at the Royal Institute of British Architects in London where the massed ranks of the profession sat in dark suits and politely applauded.
The prince's 1984 "carbuncle" speech depicted architects as self-obsessed popinjays strutting the streets of Britain, smashing and sneering at anything traditional and erecting cheapjack glass and steel memorials to their egos.

HAR ALLE ARKITEKTER ET OPERAHUS I MAGEN?
Ofte, og gjerne etter en storbrann, skal det tegnes et nytt bygg i et eksisterende bymiljø. Arkitektene kaster seg rundt og tegner noe som nesten alltid får folk til å reagere negativt: Det nye bygget blir et skjemmende sår i bybildet.
