The Re-CentreThe Re-Centre

The house of architects Aldo and Hannie van Eyck in Loenen aan de Vecht is filled to the brim with the books, films, photographs, drawings and works of art that they collected over half a century. A modest part of this collection is now on display at the Research Centre.

Portals is an interactive exhibition at the Research Centre focused on acquiring, preserving and providing access to born-digital archival material, including 3D models, images, videos, animations, renderings and emails, from the digital archive of MVRDV architects.

The Copy Corner is a small exhibition in the Research Centre that uses examples from the collection of the Nieuwe Instituut to show how architectural copying developed from a technical matter into a cultural practice.

Sourcebook is an exhibition that expands on methods of artistic research, notably within archival collections, exploring and showcasing research impulses through their “conceptual, material and structural coincidences”.
