Delft architects
The exhibition ‘Team 10 – Une Utopie du Présent(1953-1981)’ opened in Paris. The exhibition is a cooperative project of TU Delft’s Faculty of Architecture and the Dutch Architectural Institute Rotterdam, and was an initiative of Prof. Max Risselada. The exhibition was held earlier at the NAi and at Yale University, New Haven. The exhibition illuminates the work of Team 10, a group of European architects who emerged from the CIAM (Congrès Internationaux d’Architecture Moderne), and who provided fresh impulses to the debate about Modern Architecture and the city in the 1950s and 1960s. Among the famous Dutch architects in Team 10 were Aldo van Eyck, Jaap Bakema and Herman Hertzberger – all of whom happen to be former TU Delft professors. Team 10 was critical of the technorationalistic course of architecture and urban development in their time. They took inspiration from new developments in sociology, the arts, and non-Western cultures. The exhibition is open until 11 May.
