Fittingly, for a city of exciting modern architecture, Rotterdam is the home of the NAi, or the Netherlands Architecture Institute. The striking glass-and-metal building -- designed by Rotterdam local Joe Conen in 1993 -- hosts temporary displays on architecture and interior design in seven exhibition spaces, giving a holistic interpretation of the history and development of architecture, especially the urban design and spatial planning of Rotterdam. Outside, the gallery under the archive section is illuminated at night.
