Curatorial context

The Amsterdam Centre for Architecture (ARCAM) hosts the opening of the exhibition dedicated to the Amsterdam Architecture Prize 2026. The event will feature a unique presentation relay where the teams behind the ten nominated projects will each have three minutes to pitch their work.

This exhibition offers a glimpse into the creative process and evolution of significant architectural works in Amsterdam. The opening will take place on Friday, March 27, 2026, starting with check-in at 5:00 PM, the official opening and drinks at 5:15 PM, and concluding around 7:00 PM at ARCAM in Amsterdam.
