We are pleased to invite you to the Archiprix 2025 Awards Ceremony—a celebratory afternoon dedicated to the most promising graduation projects in Dutch spatial design. The event will take place on Saturday, June 14, from 14:00 to 18:00 at Het Nieuwe Instituut in Rotterdam, during the De Dag van de Architectuur.
Join us to explore fresh perspectives and bold ideas from the next generation of architects, urbanists, interior architects, and landscape designers.

For over 40 years, Archiprix has been the primary platform for presenting the best graduation projects from Dutch master’s programs in spatial design. Since its first edition in 1979, the foundation has connected academic excellence with the professional field and the wider public, providing insight into the ideas that help shape our shared future.
The 2025 edition features 26 nominated projects, selected by an independent jury composed of Claire Oude Aarninkhof, Daryl Mulvihill, Harm Rensink, Laura van Santen, and Merten Nefs. These works show a strong engagement with some of today’s key challenges—ranging from climate change and migration to urban densification, spatial justice, and the evolving relationship between people and nature.
Together, the projects reflect what young designers contribute to the field today: a critical mindset, idealism, experimentation, and a clear personal voice.
