Day 81 of the 100 Day Studio: Dirk revisits the interrelationships between welfare state planning, housing and architecture. The Team 10 discourse serves as a starting-point for a critical consideration of the many contradictions at stake, both the emancipatory potential and the pitfalls. In particular the work of Jaap Bakema and Alison and Peter Smithson help in probing the issues of diversity and inclusion, egalitarianism and universalism. Dirk is an architect and associate professor at TU Delft. He heads the Jaap Bakema Study Centre at The New Institute. He authored various books among others ‘Habitat: Ecology Thinking in Architecture’, ‘Jaap Bakema and the Open Society’ and together with Max Risselada ‘Team 10 In Search of a Utopia of the Present’. Together with Penelope Curtis he curated the exhibition ‘Art on Display 1949-69’ at the Gulbenkian Museum in Lisbon which will reopen in Rotterdam, October 3 2020. He was a Richard Rogers Fellow for Harvard GSD and was the curator of the Dutch pavilion at the Venice Architecture Biennale of 2014.
