Obsessions / Inspirations
Being an architect and especially an architectural student means to be curious about the world around you and being constantly in restless search of sources of inspiration for your work. These sources of inspiration can be multifarious and originate from all kinds of stimuli; from historical architectural references to natural patterns, travels around the world, passages from poetry and literature or even scenes taken from films and animations. In our new regular column we share with you some of the things our editors and readers have been watching, reading, listening to, visiting and looking at from outside the world of architecture that we think are interesting, provocative, inspirational, or maybe just things we’re a little obsessed with at the time. First up we dive into film, television and Youtube to share with you some of what we’ve been watching this summer.

Explorations + ContextsWhat's Going On? Venice
About the interviewer (Jack): I am going to be visiting Venice, with the main goal of seeing the Architecture Biennale before it closes on November 25th. Whilst I am an avid fan of traveling, I’ve never visited the city nor the exhibition before. I’m looking forward to both exploring the labyrinth of narrow canals and getting the most architourism possible out of my trip; visiting not only the pavilions in the Giardini but spotting the artillery installations throughout the city. In preparation I decided to speak to fellow Bnieuws team member Elena to ask about her experience as a visitor, tourist and architecture student.
Reflecting on the Past: Goodbye
Reflecting on our time in Bnieuws, it seems that we took over an established, well-functioning format of the magazine and already during our very first brainstorm, we challenged ourselves to question the occurrent standards.
Cover - Why Yellow?
Caramel Yellow.
That is what I’ve been calling the colour I have been bombarded with since arriving in the Netherlands in August 2017. Maybe you haven’t realised yet, but everywhere you look, this colour is there.
