| | Welcome Louis Herman De Koninck House in Brussels! | Louis Herman De Koninck was the 'Belgian Le Corbusier'. Working extensively on houses and small apartment buildings, he was a dominant figure in the Belgian Modernist movement. He realized his own family home in Brussels in 1924. His innovative creativity and audacity still animate the place today and continue to inspire the current owner, interior designer Caroline Notté, who opens the gallery two afternoons a week.

| | Exhibition: Gaudí and the Amsterdam School | In 2014, curators from Museum Het Schip and La Pedrera met at our conference in Barcelona. We are delighted that, as a result, Het Schip in Amsterdam presents the exhibition 'Gaudí and the Amsterdam School' from 2 October 2018 to 1 April 2019. With beautiful objects designed by the Catalan architect plus models of his most famous buildings, the exhibition highlights the many similarities between Gaudí and the Amsterdam School.

| | Conference House-Tour Highlights | Our house tour program was among the high points of our conference in May. Attendees enjoyed Pre-Conference tours to Pleasantville, Manitoga and the Breuer House in Pocantico, while the Post Conference weekend took in Cape Cod and Boston. We viewed world-famous icons like Philip Johnson's Glass House, but also lesser-known houses including Jack Hall's experimental Hatch Cottage in Cape Cod. Now you can enjoy the highlights in our conference coverage online.
