I am an historian and a theorist in Architecture and Art. I write, lecture and teach about Architecture, Art and Urbanism from a cultural and a philosophical viewpoint. I published ten books and an uncountible number of articles, dealing with a.o. city and speed, the history of the industrial city and the architecture of highways, parkways, airports, trainstations, hospitals and dwellings, including theories of design and making.
My work strives for a more independant approach in Theory and History of Architecture and Art which I interpret as independant cultural disciplines with their own domain to that of the practising architects and artists.
