He taught at the [[Amsterdam]] Academy of Architecture from 1954 to 1959, and he was a [[professor]] at the [[Delft University of Technology]] from 1966 to 1984. He also was editor of the architecture magazine ''Forum'' from 1959 to 1963 and in 1967. Aldo van Eyck was one of the most influential protagonists for the movement [[Structuralism (architecture)]]. |
|||
Despite a seemingly successful first outing, Cockatoo Island Festival was never to return. Various factors contributing to its demise include the difficulty in securing enough ferry services, the poor sound and accessibility to the Turbine Hall stage which hosted the events main drawcard acts and concerns that the large number of people could damage the historic site. Mixed Industry then found a new site upriver at Newington Armoury, and the festival continues in the form of [[The Great Escape (festival)|The Great Escape]]. However, plans are now being laid down for a yearly schedule of smaller musical events throughout the year on the island, and parties including the Sydney Symphony Orchestra and [[Björk]] have expressed interest in the venue. |

A member of [[CIAM]] and then in 1954 a co-founder of "[[Team 10]]", Van Eyck lectured throughout Europe and northern America propounding the need to reject Functionalism and attacking the lack of originality in most post-war Modernism. Van Eyck's position as co-editor of the Dutch magazine ''Forum'' helped publicise the "Team 10" call for a return to humanism within architectural design. |
