Rotterdamse Architectuur Biennale 2009

Open City: theme of the 4th International Architecture Biennale Rotterdam

The International Architecture Biennale Rotterdam (IABR) engages the fields of architecture, urban design and landscape architecture in research, public dialogue, and multi-media presentation. Conceived as a research biennale, each manifestation of the IABR is based on an urgent social agenda, and is generated with the conviction that architecture can and must contribute to solving some of our society’s most complex problems. The fourth edition of the IABR, ‘Open City,’ will be held from 24 September 2009 through 10 January 2010 in Rotterdam. The theme will be elaborated under the direction of curator Kees Christiaanse and his team from the ETH Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zurich.
