Architecture of Appropriation: On Squatting as Spatial Practice
3 SEPTEMBER 2019Het Nieuwe Instituut presents the new publication Architecture of Appropriation. On Squatting as Spatial Practice. The book marks the outcome of a long term research program and collective endeavor by Het Nieuwe Instituut.

Architecture of Appropriation
20 JANUARY 2017What if the right to affordable housing, working and living rather than property rights were made the priority of urban transformation? Since the 1960s squatters, with this idea in mind, have made an important contribution to the development of the city, appropriating parts of the city and changing it from the inside out. This practice is explored in the exhibition Architecture of Appropriation, on show from 27 January until 25 June 2017.

Selection of exhibitions for spring 2017
21 OCTOBER 2016Het Nieuwe Instituut - Museum for Architecture, Design and Digital Culture - presents from 29 January to 25 June 2017 a varied programme of exhibitions, including Designing the Surface, Sleep Mode. The Art of the Screensaver about a forgotten history of digital culture and Architecture of Appropriation.
