Applicants were asked to submit a project proposal reflecting upon and responding to the theme of the Dutch pavilion, as part of its Extended Program. https://work-body-leisure.hetnieuweinstituut.nl/jury-report

• Outside the Box

On the occasion of the 16th Biennale Architettura 2018 and in response to its general theme 'Freespace', the Belgian, Dutch and Spanish pavilions teams launched a joint Open Call in January 2018 fostering collaboration, knowledge sharing and solidarity across borders. The winning entry, 'Europa' by CENTRAL office for architecture and urbanism, will be presented on May 26 during the official opening of the 16th Biennale Architettura 2018. https://work-body-leisure.hetnieuweinstituut.nl/outside-box

• Institute of Patent Infringement

As part of the Extended Program of the Dutch Pavilion of the Biennale Architettura 2018, the Institute of Patent Infringement is launching an Open Call encouraging students, architects, urban planners, designers, artists, programmers and others interested to reimagine, infringe and hack existing Amazon patents. Deadline for submissions is midnight (GMT) 16th April 2018. www.institute-of-patent-infringement.org
