About this event

  • 2 hours

During the Rotterdam Architecture Month, BlueCity joins forces with the Nieuwe Instituut for the second edition of FuckUp Nights, which is all about architecture. Hear painfully honest stories of epic failure from four Rotterdam-based icons in the fields of architecture. Over the course of the evening, their stories will be explored and celebrated under the inspiring guidance of Nadia Troeman.

Four Rotterdam icons from the field of architecture get 10 minutes each to present their mother of all fuckups. Vulnerable and humorous stories of a business that crashes and burns, a partnership deal that goes sour, a product that had to be recalled: you name it, and someone has fucked it up. What went wrong? And what have they learned from it? After these brave humans shared their story, both moderator and audience get to fire all their questions at them during a rapid Q&A.

FuckUp Nights by BlueCity

With the FuckUp Nights, BlueCity wants to nurture and support the innovative ecosystem of Rotterdam: "an essential part of entrepreneurship is falling and getting back up. Success stories are fascinating, but let us be honest: the real magic is where blunders spice things up, making one's journey both entertaining and inspiring. Let us laugh together, applaud the speakers for their courage and learn from each other's mistakes”.

Organized by

Nieuwe Instituut is het nationale museum voor architectuur, design en digitale cultuur. Nieuwe Instituut houdt zich bezig met de grote ontwikkelingen in de maatschappij, zoals de krapte op de woningmarkt, de energietransitie, de opkomst van kunstmatige intelligentie, mobiliteit of het gebruik van de publieke ruimte. Ontwerpers, waaronder architecten en digitale makers, kunnen aan die ontwikkelingen een belangrijke bijdrage leveren. Nieuwe Instituut toont het werk van ontwerpers, brengt mensen met elkaar in contact, verzamelt, ontwikkelt en deelt kennis.
