Kirsten Hannema, a well known dutch architectural critic, has written the article “spoorbeeldverhaal #6: gecontroleerde en geboden toegang” about the value of architecture in the design of entrances to railway stations. Railway station Zaltbommel is set as an example in the article. Read at the website of “Bureau Spoorbouwmeester” (dutch only).
As part of the theme period ‘Leisure’, the editorial staff of Architectenweb hosts a networking breakfast for architects, interior designers, advisors, clients and contractors on Thursday morning, May 12th.
Main focus will be hotel design. What trends can be determined in hotel designs? Which aspects of these projects can an architect add value to? Which innovations are possible? How do you design the perfect experience? What can the large hotel chains learn from small inner-city hotels and vice versa? And how can hotels be designed so that their amenities form a positive addition to the city?
Ruland Architecten is on the invite list.
See the projects Hotel Ibis Amsterdam Centre and Motel One Rotterdam by Ruland Architecten.

Why?
Because we were already addressed and named as Ruland Architecten.
Because we have moved internally to Koningin Wilhelminaplein 12 B-8.
Because we have a new house style and logo, and a new web site.
And because it expresses what we are: architects.
Will there be more changes?
No.
Our phone numbers, personal e-mail addresses, account numbers and web site address remain unchanged.
And that also goes for our commitment, expertise and craftsmanship!
Joost Ruland and Gert van Velzen

The Province of Noord Brabant wants to add impulse to good commissioning by Brabant councils when it comes to the quality of public space. Examples of appealing public space and broad public debate about ‘proper Brabant’ public spaces can offer inspiration to council clients for future renovation of public space. We submitted the Roosendaal Railway Station as an example of how restoration and redevelopment give a direct impulse to the perception and valuation of urban spaces.
