In 'Dutchness' the academy is going to show more of itself as a school, with a focus on reflection and the value of the design and making process.

Not only will the exhibition show designs of recent graduates, but work of present academy students and students of other Dutch educational
institutes will be exhibited as well. And the Academy invited some partners, alumni and companies to give meaning to the so called 'Dutch
