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 + ContextsCover - 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.
Artefact: Painting
Painting can be a form of therapy. Similar to writing, it can be a form of externalising ideas, feelings and frustrations, putting them on paper or canvas, seeing as they materialise before your eyes. It is both a representation of a particular moment in time as well as a self-investigation.
Beginnings: Welcome to the Netherlands
You’ve just arrived in Delft, the Introduction Programme has ended, and it feels like there is actually not that much to do here apart from studying?
Nothing could be further from the truth! We, the editors of Bnieuws, will prove to you that there are plenty of things you can do here in your free time (not like you are going to have much of it either way) and we will teach you some useful phrases, which will help you get around the city and make new friends, or at the very least give Dutch some good laughs.
