The Institute for Ordinariness and Light is a place to work and think. Acting as an avatar office for the not so visible acts of research and
writing it presents the work of Dirk van den Heuvel. Main interests of
the Institute for Ordinariness and Light concern architecture and urban
planning, in particular the sites of the home and the city as
constructions of everyday practices, where the effects of modernisation,
technology, fashion and media are consistently being negotiated,
absorbed, transformed and re-directed. The Institute for Ordinariness
and Light preferably operates within various networks, establishing
collaborations with partners sharing the same affinities and
aspirations. By necessity, its way of procedure is full of elegantly
improvised poetics.
