Welcome
to ArchEX - architecture on site. We are a small agency, organising
architecture walks and study trips in different cities in the
Netherlands, Germany and other European countries. We are convinced
that built spaces can be experienced the best by visiting them in
reality. And we think that a thorough explanation helps to understand
and "read" the qualities of a city, a space or a building.
We, skilled and enthusiastic guides of ArchEX, are all architects,
urban designers, planners or sociologists ourselves. During our walks
we tell about the background and history of the site, and explain the
architecture of the visited building with pleasure.
European
architecture is reinventing itself constantly, as spacial and
economical conditions tend to change continuously. Countries like the
Netherlands, for example, are facing a massive demand on new housing,
producing large scale developments combined with smart small-scale
solutions. Cities like Amsterdam and Rotterdam, but also other European
cities like Berlin, Hamburg, Zurich or Copenhagen (just to mention a
few) have their own dynamic and develop local strategies in urban
planning and architecture. Industrial agglomerations such as the Ruhr
area are dealing with huge restructuring processes on both provincial
and city level, combining local heritage and identity with contemporary
architecture approaches.
Our clients are architects,
developers, housing corporations, investors, municipalities,
manufacturers, non-profit organisations, planning departments and other
people interested in architecture and the built environment. With this
website we would like to offer an overview of architecture and urban
planning in Europe, the Netherlands and Germany, as a first
introduction .... before your first visit.
