International Visitors Programme
In partnership with the International Architecture Biennale of Rotterdam (IABR), Het Nieuwe Instituut invited José Armenio de Brito Cruz, president of the Instituto de Arquitetos do Brasil (Departamento do São Paulo) and director of the São Paulo Architecture Biennale, to the Netherlands. IABR invited Guilherme Wisnik, head curator of the 2016 São Paulo Biennale, to speak at its conference on 12 June, and he took part in much of Cruz's visiting schedule.
During a visit to Het Nieuwe Instituut, they spoke extensively about possibilities for future collaboration, with a focus on the 2016 São Paulo Biënnale. They also met various players in the field, including representatives of MVRDV, Crimson Architectural Historians en Palmbout Urban Landscapes.
