<DIV CLASS="_1mf _1mj"><BR></DIV>
<DIV CLASS="_1mf _1mj"><SPAN>On the 30th of November, Het Nieuwe Instituut welcomes Reinier de Graaf for a lecture to coincide with his recently released book <I>Four Walls and a Roof</I>, drawing on his experience in the field of architecture both as a practitioner and an observer. <I>Four Walls and a Roof</I> has been published by Harvard University Press. The book is a collection of essays grouped in seven sections that reflect on the myths commonly associated with the architecture profession: the architect’s authority, his reliance on individual inspiration, a commitment to good causes, control, independence from external powers, mastery of the large scale and, ultimately,  progress.</SPAN></DIV>
<DIV CLASS="_1mf _1mj"><BR></DIV>
<DIV CLASS="_1mf _1mj"><SPAN>The book brings together reflections on the current state of architecture as well as personal accounts of OMA’s projects. Reinier de Graaf reveals the world of contemporary architecture in vivid snap-shots: from suburban New York to the rubble of northern Iraq, from the corridors of wealth in London, Moscow and Dubai to garbage-strewn wastelands that represent the demolished hopes of postwar social housing.</SPAN><SPAN>The evening will conclude with a book signing.</SPAN></DIV>
