On March 6, the Netherlands Architecture Institute (NAi) and Dutch Design Fashion Architecture (DutchDFA) open the exhibition Taking a Stance - 8 Critical Attitudes in Chinese and Dutch Architecture and Design in the Dutch Culture Centre in Shanghai. The exhibition centres on the work of eight ground-breaking designers from the Netherlands and China.
24 architecture designers take the lead. Assessing what society needs now. Pursuing strategies the market is hesitant to explore.
Disputed City is about forty designs that prompted an outcry. About citizens who go ignored. Architects treated with contempt. Bull-headed project developers and conceited lord mayors. But the public get to have the last word. Now in the NAI: the forty most hotly disputed architectural designs from the largest architecture collection in the world.
As a result of their collective plan for the Ymere NAI Ideas Competition 2009, architectural offices Elastik and Mat Studio have been assigned to further develop their concept of the Kop of the Grasweg at the river IJ in North Amsterdam. With their plan Open Frame the offices won one of the two jury prizes. The other prize was awarded to Stereo Architects, Finbarr McComb and Piet Sprangers who entered plan New York Five. The winning designs, together with the other 98 entries, will be on display at the exhibition ‘Open Fort 400’ in information centre De Zuiderkerk in Amsterdam from 18 December until 27 February 2010 .

The NAI (Netherlands Architecture Institute) is delighted to announce the launch of SARA: the world’s first mobile architecture application featuring augmented reality with 3D models. Starting today, with SARA, an urban augmented reality application, you can see and experience the built environment of the Blaak area in Rotterdam of the past, present and future, via Layar Browser. The NAI has set itself an incredible challenge: to make the Netherlands the first country in the world to have its entire architecture viewable on smartphones thanks to augmented reality.
