El objetivo del artículo es identificar las divergencias teóricas y prácticas entre la disciplina de la configuración y el estructuralismo holandés sobre la base del análisis de dos proyectos destinados a la infancia: el proyecto para un complejo asistencial Pestazzoli en Amerongen (Países Bajos), ideado por Piet Blom en 1962, y la escuela Montessori en Delft (Países Bajos), diseñada y construida por Herman Hertzberger entre 1960 y 1970. Con respecto a la estructura, en primer lugar, se sintetizan los términos en que se definen la disciplina de la configuración y el estructuralismo holandés. Ello permite constatar las divergencias a nivel teórico. A continuación, se analizan la propuesta para el complejo asistencial Pestazzoli y el proyecto para la escuela Montessori, considerados representativos de ambas corrientes tras una revisión preliminar del material gráfico original. Con base en estas definiciones y análisis, se evalúa el alcance de la aplicación de los principios teóricos en los proyectos seleccionados y se demuestra su respectiva proximidad a la disciplina de la configuración y al estructuralismo holandés. De esta forma se ponen de manifiesto algunas de las divergencias a nivel práctico, concretamente, las que afectan al proceso de ideación.

It has been determined that there are many factors affecting learning performance in the modern period. One of these factors is the physical characteristics of the educational structure. The design criteria of educational buildings are the main factors in the formation of the physical properties of the buildings. In this study, the effects of the physical properties of the buildings built on the basis of Herman Hertzberger and TOKĠ educational building design criteria on learning performance were compared. The aim here is to determine the design criteria and results that affect learning performance. In addition, to the research reveals the parameters that people and organizations that build buildings should pay attention to in the design of education structure according to TOKĠ and TOKĠ design criteria. This educational structure as Herman Hertzberger for comparison Raffaello Basis-En Middelbare School in Italy and the Spılcentrum Waterrıjk School in Netherland, TOKĠ educational structure as the Primary School Ali KuĢçu and Primary School Molla Gürani in Turkey has been included in the study. In line with this purpose and scope, quantitative and verbal analyzes were made on the basis of physical criteria that have an impact on educational psychology, and visual and verbal techniques were used together to collect data. As a result of the study, mistakes such as lining up classes on both sides of the corridor or not creating personal development areas while designing a uniform education structure were determined, and the criteria to be considered in educational structure designs were explained.

Writer and curator Vicky Richardson argues that our leading architects have stopped talking about architecture in favour of the same managerial jargon being used by civil servants, accountants and admen. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Mereology offers an approach to considering the city through its composing parts. Daniel Koehler – co‐founder of the architectural research practice Lab for Environmental Design Strategies (lab‐eds), leader of an Urban Design research cluster at the Bartlett School of Architecture, University College London, and a postdoctoral research associate at the University of Innsbruck in Austria – sets out its philosophical background and explores how it can be applied in this field.

Public space is being eroded all over the world. Given a lack of political will to tackle the issue, might architects play their part in rectifying it? Carlo Cappai and Maria Alessandra Segantini, co‐directors of C+S Architects, based in Venice and London, believe so. They advocate designing public buildings with a consideration of communal uses beyond those of the main brief. This, coupled with flexibility to endure changing occupation needs, can make them an asset to the community for generations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

An introduction is presented discussing several articles in the issue discussing topics related to computational architecture and architectural design methods.

Information is provided on several contributors to the issue included Stan Allen, Paul Coates, and Lucy Helme.

A Dutch architect, Herman Hertzberger used the structural approach to think about the relationship between the user and space, proposing a vision of architecture as an appropriable structure. The notion of appropriation thus constitutes an essential prism for analysing the housing realized by Hertzberger, from the designed space to the lived space. The operation of Haarlemmer Houttuinen Street was the subject of a post-occupancy survey to evaluate the concrete modalities of this appropriation by the inhabitants.
