Unspoken: atmosphere
With the support of:
Following the New Year’s reception, Archipel invites Klaske Havik (NL) to interpret the term UNSPOKEN from its field of literature and architectural criticism. She takes us into a world of architecture and writing, atmosphere, materiality, the unspoken …
Klaske Havik teaches Method & Analysis at the TU Delft Faculty of Architecture. She studied Architecture in Delft and Helsinki, and literary writing at the writers vocational school in Amsterdam. Her research focuses on the productive relationship between architecture and literature. She has developed a special research method that connects the experience, use and imagination of architecture and urban space with literary language. In her book Urban Literacy. Reading and Writing Architecture (Rotterdam: Nai010, 2014) based on her PhD, she formulated a literary approach to the experience, use and imagination of the place.
Other recent publications include Writingplace. Investigations in Architecture and Literature (2016), “How Places Speak”, in Sioli and Yoonchun (ed), Reading Architecture, (London: Routledge, 2018). With Tom Avermaete and Hans Teerds she published Architectural Positions: Architecture, Modernity and the Public Sphere (SUN 2009). Havik is the founder and editor of Writingplace journal for Architecture & Literature, and previously editor of architecture magazine OASE and of the Architect.
