OMI Rotterdam
OMI or Office for Metropolitan Information is a foundation from Rotterdam, established in 2015 by Pieter Kuster, which aims to increase and broaden the public interest in architecture, urban culture and urban development.[1]
Start[edit]
OMI and an organization of Rotterdam architecture guides started in 2015 together in a part of the Schieblock,[2] east of the Rotterdam Station. As of 2019, OMI has its own space at the Schietbaanstraat in the Oude Westen district.[3] OMI annually programs and organizes a number of architectural activities and festivals, such as the ZigZagCity Architecture Festival.[4] and the Rotterdam Day of Architecture Day.[5] OMI also organizes exhibitions, walks, stories and conversations related to architecture
Municipal subsidy[edit]
In 2021, with the advice of the Rotterdam Council for Art and Culture, OMI will be included in the Rotterdam Culture Plan,[6] with an annual fixed contribution from the Municipality of Rotterdam. This subsidy is provided up to and including 2024 to support the activities of OMI.[7]
