Looking Over The Fence is a traveling exhibition organised by the students of the Academy of Architecture Amsterdam, exploring the hidden potential of urban voids. The exhibition opens to the public on April 10, between 5pm and 6pm at Arcam.
Join us for a guided tour and explore the exhibition yourself!
Looking over the Fence: Void is Not Empty is a travelling exhibition presenting nine speculative student projects from the Academy of Architecture Amsterdam investigating urban voids from Amsterdam to Tempelhofer Feld in Berlin and around the world, where collective urban futures are negotiated and reimagined.
The exhibition is opened with a guided tour, shedding light on the different projects of the students. The tour begins with an introduction to the ideas and discussions behind the semester and exhibition, followed by insights into the individual projects, their approaches, and the questions they raise around urban voids, housing pressure, and green space. It will be led by the curators, Jolene Lee and Minnari Lee, together with the students. Join us!
