Photographer Luuk Kramer followed the transformation and urban renewal of the so called New-West area in Amsterdam. On show are several series of photos to illustrate his involvement in this matter.

Housing Corporation Eigen Haard exists 100 years. This is celebrated by a design contest 'Design your dream house'. An overview of the selected designs are on show at Lage Kade at ARCAM.

ARCAM presents models of all projects selected for this year's Amsterdam Architecture Prize, the 'Gouden A.A.P. 2010'.
In February an international jury will visit the projects, after which they will select one project that merits to be rewarded, either because it is the most beautiful or for instance the most exemplary for the actual situation in Amsterdam.
ARCAM will launch the book Amsterdam Architecture 2009-2010 (a volumn in our series ARCAM POCKETS) which contains all the nominated projects.

The Prix de Rome is a Dutch 'state' prize for artists and architects up to 35 years of age. The prize is intended to stimulate artistic development in an international context. In this year's Prix de Rome Architecture, ARCAM is the partner of the state academy for the visual arts in exhibiting the work produced for this prestigious prize.

The PRIXDEROME.NL 2010 jury - chairman Aaron Betsky (USA) - selected 4 nominees:
Jeroen Spee & Jeroen Steenvoorden
Thijs van Bijsterveldt & Oana Rades
Olv Klijn
Johan Selbing & Anouk Vogel

They were chosen from a longlist of 10 kandidates. The other 6 are: Monika Pieroth, Jenny Eklund & Dominique ter Beek, Huub Donkers, Cindy Wouters & Marie Rannou, David Smidt van Gelder en Saxon Lear Duckworth.

The exhibition presents India’s future, seen through the eyes of young Indian architects. Five architects were asked to present their city, allocating key projects that are important and representative of the architectural and urban culture of their city. The chosen projects are explained in short texts and shown in photo’s, drawings, and visuals, revealing their significance to the city.
The exhibition - produced by ARCAM in 2008 - is travelling through India in 2009 and 2010. In spring 2009 the exhibition was on show at the Chandigarh College of Architecture and at the Delhi School of Planning and Architecture. Afterwards it travelled to Ahmedabad, Kolkata and Chennai and will probably be on show at Bangalore very soon. For more information see the archive of 2009 or contact: arcam@arcam.nl.
