We are delighted with the appointment of Ole Bouman, editor-in-chief of Volume and director of the Archis Foundation, as director of the Netherlands Architecture Institute. Since 1996 Bouman has been the inspiring leader of the magazine that, with him as its editor-in-chief, has progressed from a bi-lingual, Dutch reflective journal of architecture to an English-language, international quarterly addressing architecture's urgent tasks as an attitude of mind. The limits of architecture have deliberately been sought out, as have those of the magazine itself. To do so Bouman has worked with innovative designers with an editorial slant, as well as organising alternative forms of debate, worldwide. In recent years the Archis Foundation has moved on from tending an architecture magazine to functioning as an active, agenda-setting think tank by way of magazine, consultancy and NGO. We are convinced that, from his new post, Bouman will have success in providing the international architecture debate with fresh stimuli. And Archis, encouraged by the acknowledgement of its course that is evident from his appointment, will continue to devote itself to that debate. ---------------------------------------- to the editors: For further Information please contact Lilet Breddels (lb@archis.org) Archis Foundation is a cultural thinktank devoted to spatial and cultural reflexivity.
