Theme: Open City: Designing Coexistence
How and what can architects and urbanists contribute to the way we live in cities? What is the Open City? How do people work, think, dream and act there? And why is it urgent to re-imagine the Open City?
These are just some of the questions that will confront the visitor to Open City: Designing Coexistence.

Six sub-themes
The curators of the 4th IABR have identified six situations in which geographical, spatial, typological, and socio-cultural conditions reveal different qualities and potentials of Open City. Each of these situations will be explored through research and actual projects, and presented as a sub-theme of the Biennale.

The six sub-themes will be shown in the exhibition Open City: Designing Coexistence, in the Nederlands Architecture Institute (NAI), the main location of the 4th IABR. Other exhibitions of the 4th IABR are Parallel Cases//IABR@RDM at RDM Campus and The Free State of Amsterdam (Vrijstaat Amsterdam) in Amsterdam (location to be announced).
