Cherish & Destroy

West Den Haag

Cherish &amp; Destroy Arts and Architecture FestivalHans van Houwelingen, Marjan Teeuwen, Niels Weerheim, Camiel Berns, Erik Pasveer, Alexander de Ridder, Ronald Schleurholts, Jasmina CampochiaroIn the work of artists and architects, the confrontation between cherishing and destroying is an integral part of the creative design process. Artistic traditions lose their meaning and are dismantled; buildings are demolished and give way to new forms. Opposed to this is the desire to preserve values that we want to cherish and maintain. Some things you do not want to lose because you associate them with quality and with values that give meaning and significance to the here and now.Things you regard as treasures to be cherished. Three architects and three artists have been asked to tell a story about the dilemmas they encounter in their work, in which they must choose between destruction and preservation. In what way do they choose between one and the other? Also important is the question of whether, in their work, they employ a frame of reference that guides the choices they make during their design process.At the end of the lecture series, a debate will take place between all speakers, led by a moderator.
