This past Saturday was the opening of the new NAi exhibition, Building for Bouwkunde. There we handed out flyers promoting the Future Faculty platform and Project Russia pilot project.
For those who are not familiar with Building for Bouwkunde, the exhibition was a presentation of 50 proposed designs for a new Architecture building/campus. Additionally, the jury’s pick for best projects was presented at the opening ceremony.
Thanks to all those who made it out to help promote Future Faculty. Make sure to check out the exhibition and look for a video interview with our very own Jean-Paul!

In December, we announced the launch of Project Russia, a proposed Msc studio between Architecture and Industrial Design students. Since then, the project has evolved into a looser, more independent course concept. The “event-based” course will organize a series of workshops, seminars and round table discussions. In addition, we hope to gather a database of relevant events and lectures that we can visit “guerrilla style”.
Though we are still working on the content and organizational details of the course, in the near future we will begin full scale recruitment of student participants again! Please contact us if you are interested.

This is the blog and website of “The Post Socialist Russian City” project organized by the platform Future Faculty. The Post Socialist Russian City project will be a collection of seminars and workshops that culminates in a trip to Moscow in July and round table discussion at the International Rotterdam Biennale 2009 .
The Post Socialist Russian City project involves students from the Architecture and Industrial Design Engineering faculties at the TU Delft as well as Russian design students and design companies in Russia and the Netherlands in an interdisciplinary discourse about design. The project is also open to international students and professionals who want to join.
This project will explore the contradictions and possibilities of new revitalization of prefab housing blocks built during the Soviet era, that are still in existence today in a post-Socialist Russia. A link will be made between similar prefab housing blocks in the Netherlands in workshops and seminars.
On this blog we present and discuss our thoughts, process, inspirations, and other relevant things. Please feel free to comment and contribute to our design process!
