Open Call Festival Centre RA Month June ’25
The submission period for this Open Call is closed.
The organisers of Rotterdam Architecture Month cordially invite designers, design educators and other stakeholders in spatial development to submit projects for the exhibition to be held at RA Month 2025’s festival centre. The exhibition will be on show for the entire month of June at the Schiehavenhallen in Schiemond. Projects can be submitted until Monday 10 March 2025.
Rotterdam Architecture Month has developed into the largest architecture festival in the Netherlands on the future of urbanism. Every June, RA Month celebrates architecture’s innovation and quality in collaboration with well over 100 partners from the design, education and business sectors as well as many initiators who help organise more than 125 activities at over 40 venues.
Festival centre in Schiemond
This year, the festival’s centre will be in Schiemond, a post-war urban district in the west of Rotterdam where history and innovation mingle. The older part consists of social housing while modern new homes have been built along the Lloydkade. Schiehaven-Noord, currently still characterised by makers, culture and commerce, is being developed into a sustainable ‘Paris Proof’ housing area which will link the aforementioned areas.
During RA Month we want to co-urbanise in Schiemond. What does Paris Proof area development entail for Rotterdam? How do you collaborate to create a sustainable city? At the ‘de kade’ [quayside] area surrounding the Schiehavenhallen we will be programming a number of spatial interventions in cooperation with new and established inhabitants. The exhibition will be held both at the Schiehavenhallen and on the quayside.
Main theme: Summer in Schiemond
On sustainable living & construction: now and in the future
Take part
RA Month invites the design sector to submit projects that innovatively respond to at least one of the Summer in Schiemond (Zomer in Schiemond) themes for the exhibition. Do you have an existing project, installation or model aligned with the themes? If so, submit it to the RA Month website before 10 March 2025 at the latest. This page provides more information on the themes, selection criteria, conditions and guidelines or download the pdf.
This year, the exhibition will be organised by AIR and the Klimaat Academie. The organisers eagerly await all the entries.
