Leven onder het luchtruim / Living Under Airspace (3/3)

Schiphol Airport is blocking the development of an area that is more than five times the size of Amsterdam. Reducing air traffic is high on the political agenda, but the logic of the airspace remains central. Photographer Theo Baart and journalist Tijs van den Boomen have been researching the development of this area in their book ‘Leven onder het luchtruim’ (Living Under Airspace). Their focus is not on noise pollution and climate change, but rather on the space, offering an independent, optimistic perspective. What is already possible with this area? And what could be gained if a runway were to be closed?

This infographic compares the population size and composition with the take-offs and landings around the ‘meetposten’, the noise monitoring system the government uses to measure airplane noise pollution.

Leven onder het luchtruim / Living Under Airspace (2/3)

Schiphol Airport is blocking the development of an area that is more than five times the size of Amsterdam. Reducing air traffic is high on the political agenda, but the logic of the airspace remains central. Photographer Theo Baart and journalist Tijs van den Boomen have been researching the development of this area in their book ‘Leven onder het luchtruim’ (Living Under Airspace). Their focus is not on noise pollution and climate change, but rather on the space, offering an independent, optimistic perspective. What is already possible with this area? And what could be gained if a runway were to be closed?

The book contains three photo series: documentation of the areas around the runways, of the’ handhavingspunten’ (enforcement points) – places in the landscape used by the government to calculate noise pollution – and of the ‘meetposten’ (monitoring stations) – the noise monitoring system consisting of microphones positioned at heights of 6 to 10 meters. The cover displays the runways, enforcement points, monitoring stations, and the urban areas surrounding the airport. The noise contours are included as a tactile layer.

This cute little Danish atlas is not the smallest in my collection, nor the thinnest at 16 pages. But it is the atlas that needs the least amount of printing space to claim to capture the entire world. I am struck by the naively optimistic attempt to represent the world in 14 maps, each 86 x 103 mm in size, less than an A3 in total. What is more surprising is that, given its modest size, it is able to represent not only place but also time: a weekly calendar is shown on the inside of the covers.

The book does not reveal much about its origin, time or place. No publication date can be found, but based on the geopolitics of the maps, I suspect it was produced in the interbellum. On the front cover, a bookstore in Kolding is listed as the publisher, but when checking the address, Adelgade 14, on Google Maps, it does not seem to exist: the house numbers in the street skip one and go straight from 12b to 16.

Are these pink graphs in the 'Archives of Internal Medicine' a sign of the early days of CMYK printing when producing full colour lithographs was still quite expensive, but the magenta ink (along with cyan and yellow inks) was readily available on the press and used as spot colour? Or is this frivolous use of colour intended to brighten up an article about a nasty bacteria?

Leafing through the 'edge lined-edition' of the NBV21 bible is a meditative experience: feeling the naturally grained goatskin cover, the subtle fall of 30 grams pages with silver edge printing, the sight of the text blocks set in Lexicon in two PMS colours. Pure joy.

Exhibition design 'Call for Lost Entries: The Shinkenchiku Residential Design Competition 1965–2020', GTA Exhibitions Foyer, Institute for the History and Theory of Architecture, ETH Zurich, 03.11–10.12.2021. Curated by Cathelijne Nuijsink, the aim of the exhibition was to start a discussion on the effects of incomplete archives on architectural research and to appeal for greater diversity and inclusivity, as well as multiple authorship, in architectural historiography. The topic under scrutiny is the Shinkenchiku Residential Design Competition, a long-running ideas competition that sparked radical ideas on housing from across the world. The exhibition contains the competition briefs and the winning entries that were published in magazines 'The Japan Architect' and 'Shinkenchiku'. A timeline on one of the walls shows the published entries versus the lost entries of 48 editions of the competition over a period of 55 years. The exhibition asks, what would happen with the history of the competition if all the entries of the lost entries came forward and re-submitted their work. The exhibition also includes a workspace that visualises the efforts to collect the lost competition entries. The accompanying website callforlostentries.com invites participants to do so and fill the competition archive.

Exhibition graphics for Sissel Tolaas's ‘RE_____’ at Astrup Fearnley Museet, Oslo, 08.10–30.12.2021. 'RE_____' consists of site-specific works that focus on the sense of smell rather than sight and hearing. The various installations by Tolaas activate a different kind of involvement and perception among visitors. By rethinking, reconstructing, revisiting, iterating, redesigning and responding, current themes such as climate change, food industry and diversity are presented in scent landscapes. The only navigation system throughout the exhibition is a combination of a musical score and the periodic table. Every work and situation has a code. Noteblocks with information about the works hang in the last room of the exhibition. The score of chemical codes has also been used as the visual identity of the exhibition.

In recent years we have been working on the design of the new Dutch translation of the Bible, the NBV21. We developed a dozen editions in different formats. This particular one is the so-called standard edition. Printed in two inks on 30gsm FSC paper, with natural linen backing and reading ribbons made from recycled PET bottles, the book has around a 1500 pages and is set in Bram de Does’s Lexicon.
