Netherlands Architecture Institute Rotterdam

Although architectural design is the major focus of the NAi, there is also emphasis on how space and design affects human living and vice versa. The collection uses a variety of methods to explain the use of architecture throughout history, as well as the cultural influences. Since moving to the new location in 1993, the Netherlands Architectural Institute has expanded its collection and offers lectures, guest speakers and extensive archives and library. Within the various collections on exhibit by the NAi is a model collection of over 400 architectural models made by famous architects from around the world.
