Designing the Social
Designing the Social is an exhibition exploring 100 years of socially driven, idiosyncratic ideas about living together.
Archives at Risk
The exhibition Archives at Risk takes a closer look at designer archives. We learn how personal they can be, and how vulnerable such design heritage is in the Netherlands. When the designer is no longer there to take care of their archive, what becomes of it?
Archives at Risk: Cubic3 Design
In the foyer of the Nieuwe Instituut you can now view the presentation around the endangered archive of design duo Cubic3 Design. It is the first iteration of the traveling installation 'Archives at Risk – seeking shelter', in which the Network Archives of Design and Digital Culture (NADD) highlights the uncertain future of Dutch design and digital culture archives.
Sonneveld House
Sonneveld House is a museum house and one of the best-preserved homes in the functionalist Nieuwe Bouwen style.
