- Borrowing, Stacking, Referring, IntertwiningA Conversation with Lilith van Assem and Elsbeth Ronner
- Abstract
- In this interview, Lilith van Assem and Elsbeth Ronner of Rotterdam’s architecture firm Lilith Ronner van Hooijdonk reflect on Kenneth Frampton’s plea for Critical Regionalism. Whereas themes such as locality, tectonics and tactility evoke recognition, Frampton’s categorical rejection of postmodernism becomes suspicious. Van Assem and Ronner emphasise how important an informal approach to architecture history and contemporary culture is in their work. This freedom offers room for experimentation and broadening
of the view, but also for a critical attitude towards the same history and trends in contemporary architecture.
