Open Model Storage, 2023
Located on the site of the Van Nelle factory, the depot occupies one of the factory warehouses and is used to store around 700 models in an open layout. As well as being a storage area, it’s also a workshop for collection managers, who work on restoring and registering models here or preparing them for transport as loans. To make the space suitable for both functions, architects Broekbakema installed a 460 m2 climate-controlled box in the warehouse in 2005.

The New Garden, 2023
The New Garden has been part of the outdoor space of the Nieuwe Instituut since 2015. It is used as a testing ground for ecological management and biodiversity. In the winter of 2021, the garden was redesigned due to the restructuring of the Museum Park. Since then, work has been done on the ecological restoration of the garden, bringing it back into full bloom.

Ministerie van Ontroerend Goed, 2022
This installation by Maurik Stomps invites visitors to take a seat at one of the desk at the Ministry of Moving Matter. The space and furniture are deliberately a little to small, which puts the power of bureaucracy into perspective. Anyone can leave their own written drawn or photographed story about the city here, or record a message via the telephone to contribute to a growing archive. The collectively curated archive will aim to answer the central question of this project: ‘how public is public space’
Designing the Social is an exhibition exploring 100 years of socially driven, idiosyncratic ideas about living together.
