Redesigning the Designer

News

Nieuwe Instituut’s Agency department works on creating (long-term) connections, collaborations and reciprocal exchanges for and with Netherlands-based architects, designers and digital culture practitioners on local, national and international scales. Through a range of programmes and networks, designers are given a platform that offers them visibility and opportunities for knowledge exchange, contributing towards their professional development and providing insights for addressing urgent social, spatial and environmental issues.
