3rd International Architecture Biennale Rotterdam

 

Who and what will define the future of our cities and what role can architects play in this?
The International Architecture Biennale Rotterdam is a biennial event that gathers knowledge and experience in the designing disciplines (architecture, urban design and landscape architecture) from all over the world and brings them to Rotterdam to present them to a broad audience.


The IABR brings together architects, urban designers, theorists, students, developers, policy makers and politicians from home and abroad. This biennale differs from other biennales in that it features not only exhibitions but, primarily working with a young generation of architects, does research as well.
