Esmée Dros

In her work, graphic designer Esmée Dros focuses on telling stories that need to be told. She researches how to create connections between imagery and meaning. She works in various forms, from designing figures in different colours for publications, to designing forms of conversation. Esmée is curious by nature. She loves the sun, going to the market, and working with people from different disciplines.

“As a Detour Guide, I like to use my design practice in order to create something small, together with visitors, so that they always go home with a self-made visual memory.”

MVRDVHNI: The Living Archive of a Studio

MVRDVHNI: The Living Archive of a Studio explores the archive of acclaimed architects MVRDV. The exhibition is designed as a living and active work enviroment to showcase the architecture office as a place where ideas and projects move fluidly back and forth between present, past and future.

This multimedia exhibition, on the institute's sixth floor, overlooks one of MVRDV's much-discussed recent designs – the new Depot Boijman Van Beuningen. Based on three recurring themes – green, human and dream – the exhibition highlights more than 400 projects from the studio's ever-growing archive. In addition, Het Nieuwe Instituut offers insights into the firm's working methods with drawings, sketches, models and other archive materials.
