Rotterdam Architecture Month 2026

This June, Nieuwe Instituut is once again taking part in the programme of Rotterdam Architecture Month, the Netherlands’ largest architecture festival, featuring events, exhibitions and celebrations across the city.

This year’s theme is the circular city. The festival hub is located at the new Materialenwerf in the Keilekwartier, designed by Studio ACTE, where ideas and challenges around circularity are being explored and tested on a smaller scale. You can find the full Rotterdam Architecture Month programme here.
