Back from France

The construction of the textile factory in France is nearing completion. Last week, Emiel Lamers was at the building site to meet up with the client (SCF), the maître d'oeuvre (FIRST engineering) and the various building companies involved. We are now working on the custom-made reception desk, signboards on the facades and many other details. For recent pictures of the building site, please click here.

Four architecture tours for IFFDEC from Rennes

This week, Emiel Lamers showed around 88 French students in Rotterdam and Amsterdam. Once a year, the "Institut Français de Formation en Design et Communication" from Rennes organises an excursion abroad for their students. This year they decided to come to the Netherlands. On Sunday, we walked around some new projects in the centre of Rotterdam (Market Hall, House de Hef, De Rotterdam). On Tuesday the 11th, they came to Amsterdam to see the new city library on the ODE (Oosterdokseiland) and the floating houses in IJburg. The day after, we visited the former shipyard area NDSM and the EYE film museum.

New website ELA

Welcome to the new website of Emiel Lamers Architectures (ELA). The layout of the site has been entirely redesigned. The site opens directly to the "BUILDING" index page. Twelve projects are presented with a brief explanation and several large images. Under the following tabs: WRITING, STUDYING, GUIDING and ORGANIZING one will find information about ELA’s other activities, for example Lamers's book, Contemporary Architecture in Hungary.  The PUBLICATION tab presents articles about ELA buildings and activities published in various newspapers and magazines. 
This new website will automatically optimise its format and layout depending on the device you’re using (laptop, tablet, mobile phone).
