Wrong Norma
2 July 2025 - 12 July 2025
Wrong Norma is an exhibition of graduation works by eleven researchers, designers, and artists from the Master Interior Architecture: Research + Design (MIARD) at the Piet Zwart Institute in Rotterdam. The exhibition explores what it means to practise spatial design today.
Borrowing from the poet Anne Carson’s book of the same name, Wrong Norma describes a collection of projects that operate along a disobedient axis. The works challenge conventional spatial thinking through architectures that foam, leak, diffract, glitch, and ferment. Rooted in research and material exploration, the works resist fixed methods and models of design. They navigate soft thresholds, political residues, and speculative errors—reimagining interior space not as enclosure, but as inquiry. Here, wrongness becomes a method: a way of sensing, refusing, and imagining otherwise.
Wrong Norma includes projects by Julia Banaszewska, Dzintars Berzinskis, Mailys Bonnet, Sjoerd De Jong, Iza Koczanowska, Martynas Nikitenka, Youbin Kim, Isabel Legate, Eric Stynes, Philipp Their, and Sarasadat Zakernejad.
