Netherlands Architecture Institute have three main function as library, archieve, and gallery/auditorium. As a library, NAI collect some architecture books from around of the word with multimedia facilities to serve visitor. Whereas, as an archieve building, NAI play an important role to collect some architectural project documents. In this room, we can find some architectural drawings and concept that designed by some architects from Netherlands or other country. And, as a gallery and audirorium, NAI has function to accomodate some architecture event like architectural expo, disscussion, or competition.Netherlands Architecture Institute was designed by Jo Coenen who won the architecture competition for that project. Located in Rotterdam, Netherlands, Netherlands Architecture Institute (NAI) forms a strong access with Museumpark in the middle and Kunsthal (designed by Rem Koolhaas) in south. Netherland
In urban design context, NAI have different approach to build a communication with its surrounding that dominate by some old buildings. NAI show its contradictive style, as a light and transparent building with some dominant lines. To make a strong visual impression, Coenen designed a big reflection pool that reflects all of building elements on the water surface. Main street and the building connected by a bridge to bring visitor to different ‘world’. (the infinity)
