NADD Reading Room
Take a break from the hustle and bustle and relax in the Research Centre where there’ll be a cosy corner filled with the publications that have been produced by NADD partners, research residents and other collaborators.

Detours
Follow a detour guide through a unique exploration of How Do We Remember and Archives at Risk: Seeking Shelter, two timely exhibitions commissioned by the NADD to give more visibility to design and digital culture archives.
