- Promtional poster for magazine, ARCHIS No. 8, '89. All text in white on background composed of three vertical quadrilaterals in light blue against darken blue. Text reads: " ACRHIS No. 8, '89/ "I Believe that all great architects have failed./ Their work serves as an example precisely because it/ has failed. That is why modernity is still living; as/ a failture, not as a success."/ DANIEL LIBESKIND/ ARCHIS No. 3, '89/ "For a good three years now I have been occupied/ in ridding myself of the stigma of modernity,/ just beacuse in the netherlands it is practised with,/ such indolence."/ Rem Koolhaas/ ARCHIS No. 1, '93/ "Visions of genius are part of social climate. What/ I don't like is for these references to be derived,/ so that a Picasso is regarded as having sprung from "Nothing"."/ Hermann Pitz/ ARCHIS No. 1, '93/ "At the present time, we architects have ideals/ which are held in check by irony. Irony is a/ moderate emotion, it isn't satire, it isn't coarse,/ it's laughing at yourself a bit. But that laughter/ is very serious."/ Denise Scott Brown/ ARCHIS No. 11, '92/ "Let us at least bear witness, time and time again,/ and for no-one, to thought as a catastrophe, as/ nomadism, as disparity and unemployment./ If we cannot make engravings, let us at least do/ our graffiti."/ Jean-Francois Lyotard. " Three rows of dots in quotes. Imprinted at right over three squares: "YOUR NAME HERE" (in white)/ ARCHIS (in black, across bottom)/ THE DUTCH OUTLOOK ON ARCHITECTURE" (in white). Geometric shapes and lines at bottom.
