Curatorial context

The Amsterdam Architecture Prize (AAP) annually recognizes inspiring buildings in Amsterdam through the selection of two juries: one professional and one public. This exhibition highlights the ten nominated projects for the 16th edition of the AAP, presenting them through photography and tactile objects. These selected buildings were chosen from approximately 110 completed in 2023, based on their architectonic and urban quality, innovative typologies, sustainability, quality of life, and affordability. The exhibition reflects on trends such as circularity and reuse in office buildings, experimentation with new housing forms, and the importance of social interaction in mixed-use projects. It prompts visitors to consider what kind of city Amsterdam should be, emphasizing sustainability, fairness, affordability, health, and beauty. The projects demonstrate the potential for exemplary and original building design that caters to current urban needs. The exhibition invites contemplation on the appeal of various architectural approaches and encourages discussion about potential omissions from the selection. The winner of the prize will be announced on April 25th.
