...chosen women.’ ‘Why?’ I asked. ‘Because you shall have a vie complete—a complete life.’”Professor Hildegarde Heynen of the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven in Belgium and a current fellow at the Radcliffe Institute is completing an intellectual biography of Sibyl Moholy-Nagy. The architectural historian presented a lecture on the topic on Wednesday, Feb. 20.“First of all, Sibyl Moholy-Nagy had a very interesting and very exceptional life,” Heynen says in a telephone...

In 2004, the European Union set up a four-year funding project to foster the shared-space ethic in seven towns across Europe, including Oostende in Belgium and Ipswich in England. Last September, work finally began on the transformation of Bohmte, a town in northwestern Germany.
