MONDRIAN LECTURE 2010 — CHARLES JENCKS — American architectural theorist, landscape architect and designer. His books on the history and criticism of Modernism and Postmodernism are widely read. His book The Language of Post-Modern Architecture has become a classic. His landscape work is inspired by fractals, genetics, waves and chaos theory. His late wife, Maggie Keswick Jencks, was the founder of the Maggie’s Cancer Caring Centres. The buildings that house the centres have been designed by architects such as Frank Gehry, Zaha Hadid and Richard Rogers.

50th Anniversary
In the physical world color cannot exist without light, but metaphorically too it is necessary to throw color on social, cultural and scientific developments. That is the conviction on which the setting up of the Sikkens Foundation in 1959 was based. This festive meeting celebrates fifty years in which the Sikkens Foundation has dedicated itself to stimulate interest in color. We intend to continue to do so during the next half-century, because inspite of its being taken for granted, color remains an inspiring phenomenon.
