With SYSTEMS OF SUPPORT, the IABR explores how architecture can contribute to a fair and future proof living environment. At the Piekfabriek on the former Hunter Douglas site in Rotterdam, the biennale brings together an exhibition, an extensive public program and collaborations with partners. It creates a place where visitors, professionals and students can discover new ideas, share knowledge and explore the systems that shape our society together.
The International Architecture Biennale Rotterdam (IABR) is a cultural knowledge institution that fosters dialogue on contemporary spatial issues. Every two years, the IABR organizes an event featuring exhibitions, debates, lectures, workshops, and guided tours. Between editions, the IABR continues its research, collaborations, and debates. Based in Rotterdam, the biennale plays an active role in the national and international architectural discourse.
