The NAI Maastricht - Netherlands Architecture Institute
To become a showcase and an experimental laboratory for a new European spatial design: that is the ambition of NAI Maastricht. This new architecture museum, with 1,400 m2 of exhibition space, is housed in the Wiebengahal, on Avenue Ceramique, adjacent to the Bonnefantenmuseum in Maastricht.
The NAI Maastricht will host temporary shows on current developments in the fields of architecture, urban planning and design in the surrounding "Euregio" (the three-nation-region Maastricht/Aachen/Liège). The NAI Maastricht is part of the Netherlands Architecture Institute based in Rotterdam.
NAI Maastricht's aim is to act as a focus for a public discourse on the past, present and future of the designed environment in the Euroregion Meuse-Rhine. As a national architecture institute, the NAI will contribute the treasures of Dutch architecture that are housed in its Rotterdam facility. These will serve as a background to this presentation and the debates it will support.
"Euregional"
The NAI Maastricht will be a "Euroregional" institute that can help build an architectural culture cutting across all sorts of borders. The forms and the buildings of the future will not be a matter solely of architecture, but will exist within a wider cultural field where art, design and other media play an increasingly significant part.
Galleries
In the Kolommenzaal ("Column Hall") on the ground floor of the Wiebengahal and in the Bogenzaal ("Arched Gallery") on the third floor, four exhibitions per year are being showed. One exhibition centers on the "Euregio", one exhibition about design and two exhibitions about architecture and urban design.
