Rural Futures explores the relationship between territory, communities, and nature

For the second consecutive year, IED participates in the Dutch Design Week with a selection of projects titled “Rural Futures”, which will take place from October 18th to 26th in Eindhoven.

As part of Class of 25, the annual group exhibition showcasing graduate projects from Dutch and international academies, our selection reflects on the intricate relationship between territory, communities, and nature.

Understanding the identity and needs of a territory means listening carefully to those who inhabit it and recognizing the cultural, social, and ecological heritage that shapes it.

Come visit us at Klokgebouw, from 11:00 to 18:00!
