Design
A selection of projects and activities

Reading Sites
Reading Sites is a series of written perspectives on the broader field of design. Taking events from design weeks to biennials as its starting point, the series invites designers, writers and critics to reflect on emerging tendencies and design ideologies, arriving at new narratives that can foster alternative, shared and non-exploitative futures.

Thursday Night: Irma Boom interviewed by Daniel van der Velden
The setting is a table full of books. At the table, seated next to each other are: left Irma Boom and right Daniel van der Velden (Metahaven). Every now and then, one of them lays one or more books in the centre of the table, above which a camera records the books and projects them onto the wall behind. Report of the Thursday Night: focus, a conversation with Irma Boom.

Sonneveld House interventions
Careful restoration work and interior refurbishment has turned Sonneveld House into a magnificent monument. The danger of a museum house, however, is that it is frozen in time. That is why Het Nieuwe Instituut decided to activate the monument by inviting artists, designers or architects to make a 'site specific' installation. Interventions by Richard Hutten, Petra Blaisse, Santiago Borja, Eva Rothschild and Dominique Gonzalez-Foerster.
