Arch2O.com - Architecture & Design Magazine
Located in the heart of Rotterdam, Piet Zwart Institute is a post-graduate institute where people study art, design and media. Named in memory of the pioneer Dutch designer, Piet Zwart, the institute has recently announced that it will launch an online archive containing student design research.
The archive is offered by the postgraduate program named Master Interior Architecture: Research + Design, MIARD. This two-year program offers a multidisciplinary approach and encourages innovative designers in the field of interior architecture to think outside the box. Now, it is exposing the design-led research that students produce during this Master program.
Although many institutions do not prefer the idea of making their students work visible to the public, MIARD’s course director Alex Suarez from the Piet Zwart Institute, says that they strongly believe in sharing the students’ research and projects with the community.

Suarez states, “We want to create a comprehensive archive to catalogue, feature and share design-led research project with our community.”
With a simple user interface, this rich archive is going to be available not only to students and staff but to the public. It represents an online exhibition of the projects completed each year by the students including high-resolution images and text descriptions for each project.
