A free publication run by students of Gerrit Rietveld Academie in Amsterdam. The Rietveld Journal is an inter-departmental publication. Their goal is to draw a picture of what Rietveld students and alumni have to offer on a predominantly textual based platform. With the Rietveld Journal the makers want to break through the walls of the school, going beyond the Rietveld bubble in order to reach a different and broad(er) public.

What if we recreate a source of water, a hub, inside the campus to try to rethink our water network in a more sustainable and socially impacting way.

This is a celebration of plurality and ambiguity.
