Rietveld Review(ed) is initiated to carry on the reflective qualities of Gerrit Rietveld Academie Awards (GRA Awards).
An independent, external committee is asked to reflect on the Graduation Show as a whole and to signal current tendencies and themes within the exhibition. The committee is also asked to select a number of projects by graduating students that support these observations. The reflections and observations of the committee are processed by the Rietveld Academie into a reflection report. The report also includes the observations of the thesis committee.
The GRA Awards that were given each year to remarkable graduates are discontinued since 2021.
