A month of exhibitions, conferences (mostly in Dutch), excursions and a City Program all dominated by ‘The Flood’. The second International Architecture Biennale Rotterdam focuses on the relation between water and architecture in the Netherlands and around the world. Curator is Adriaan Geuze, landscape architect and director of West 8.
The International Architecture Biennale Rotterdam is also a research project. Taking the topical theme of water, it identifies forces that influence our surroundings, analyses these, outlines future scenarios, and develops alternatives. The conference program of the biennale offers room for discussion and formulation of ideas for the design disciplines (architecture, urban design and landscape architecture) as well as governments, developers, builders, scientists and a larger audience.
