The Day of Architecture The Hague gives the public the opportunity to experience the special buildings of The Hague from the inside. Numerous buildings in the city, which are normally inaccessible, open their doors during this day.

Architecture Day 2025 theme: in transition

The theme and programme for this year's celebration of the national Architecture Day is not yet known. Keep an eye on the website for the latest updates.

How do we make homes that not only use energy, but also produce it? How do we ensure that we reuse empty buildings and thus never demolish them again? How do we keep dry feet in a wetter climate and with rising sea levels? In short, what will the Netherlands look like in the future?

That we need to use space differently in our densely built-up Netherlands is clear. We need to change now. In part, we are already moving. In other words: The Netherlands is in transition

The ideas, plans and opportunities are there, but that is only one side of the coin. How do they also become reality? According to professor Jan Rotmans, we must above all overcome our fear of major changes. Because that holds us back. That fear actually diminishes if we also have a good idea of the big change and what we are facing. When we see, hear and taste how things can be done differently.

During Architecture Day 2025, we show this to a wide audience and discuss it. There will be openings of special buildings, tours of the city, exhibitions and lectures about our changing living environment. Will you join?
