Literature presents us an alternative way of thinking about architecture and the urban environment. This is not only illustrated by the works of Paul Scheerbart, but also by the book Urban Literacy by Klaske Havik, the poems of Maria Barnas or the work of Mike Schäfer. Stroom Den Haag presents an evening focusing on the literary view on architecture, in concurrence with the exhibition A Glass Darkly.

Also with Herman van Bergeijk (architecture historian, who translated Glasarchitektur by Scheerbart into Dutch) and a film by Neïl Beloufa.
