Exhibition summary

ARCAM's 2023 theme, 'Architectuur voor Iedereen' (Architecture for Everyone), focuses on making architectural discourse and spaces accessible. The program includes research, events, and projects specifically addressing the accessibility of buildings, public spaces, and activities for people with disabilities.

Curatorial context

The year 2023 at ARCAM is dedicated to the theme 'Architectuur voor Iedereen' (Architecture for Everyone), aiming to contribute to an architectural debate that is accessible to all. Building on the previous year's focus on the accessibility of buildings, public spaces, and activities for individuals with disabilities, this research page serves as a central hub for all articles and events related to this annual theme. Throughout the year, ARCAM explores universal design principles through various initiatives. This includes research into accessibility, features on 'Architects in Residence' like Séverine Kas and Ed. Bijman who focus on accessibility and universal design, and a Winterlezingen series in January/February 2023 titled 'Toegang tot Amsterdam,' examining the accessibility of new prominent Amsterdam projects. Furthermore, an Open Call was launched for the design of a new, universally accessible permanent exhibition setup for ARCAM's gallery, with the winning design by Dérive set to be implemented, aiming to connect the ground floor and the first floor with movable cabinets and a wall-space-furniture piece. The renewed gallery, featuring this setup, is slated to open on November 3, 2023.

Admission and ticket notes

Information regarding specific events or the opening of the renewed gallery on November 3, 2023, may be available via the ARCAM agenda or visitor information pages.
