It’s Our F***ing Backyard: Designing Material Futures spotlights our time’s greatest challenge: the climate crisis. Come and explore 80 projects from all over the world showing how designers can have a major impact by looking at materials in radical and new ways. Prepare to come away thinking differently about the use of materials and design’s social importance.

In addition to internationally established names such as Drift, Ineke Hans, Dirk van der Kooij and major producers such as Adidas and IKEA, there are also upcoming designers to discover, plus suggested uses for waste material. See a lamp made from orange peels and jewellery made from ocean plastic for Balenciaga.

Some projects focus on the use of natural materials, such as a fungal mycelium tunnel and a flax and bio-based resin surfboard. There’s even a light installation powered by micro-organisms that need to be fed by you!

Rijksmuseum

The National Museum of the Netherlands, or the Rijksmuseum, has been housed on this location since 1885. It recently underwent a ten-year, €375 million renovation. The Rijksmuseum has over 5,000 paintings (including Rembrandt's Night Watch) and has an emphasis on the Dutch Golden Age. But it's not just paintings – there are sculptures, antiques, collections of clothing and weapons, and one of the finest actively-used libraries you'll ever see. The Dutch architect P.J.H. Cuypers designed this elegant building, and even put himself in the design as one of the statues on the roof.

The Van Gogh Museum displays over 200 of Vincent van Gogh's works, including landscapes, still lifes and drawings, and letters. By displaying them alongside works from Van Gogh's contemporaries, viewers get real insights into his life and work. The museum itself is comprised of two buildings. The main building, designed by Gerrit Rietveld, Joan van Dillen, and J. van Tricht, opened in 1973. The second building, designed by Japanese architect Kisho Kurokawa was added in 1999. Located in Amsterdam's Museumplein (along with the Stedelijk and Rijksmuseum), the Van Gogh Museum is one of the most-visited museums in the Netherlands.

Moco Museum

The Modern Contemporary (Moco) Museum Amsterdam is housed inside Villa Alsberg, a 1904 townhouse in the middle of Amsterdam Museumplein. High-profile guest curators and exhibitions highlight some of the modern world's best contributors to the art world. Eduard Cuypers, cousin of Rijksmuseum designer Pierre Cuypers, designed the townhouse, making it a sight to see in itself. But the work inside is absolutely phenomenal; two current attractions showcase the work of street art activist Banksy, and pop artist extraordinaire, Andy Warhol.
