Its catalogue, presented through its own online bookshop, spans monographs on architects and artists, exhibition catalogues, academic and critical studies, and recurring annual surveys of Dutch architecture. Titles visible on its homepage include Architects with Attitudes, Schiphol: Altijd klaar, nooit af, Yayoi Kusama: De Nederlandse jaren, 1965-1970, Willem de Kooning, Beautiful Creatures, Rem Before Koolhaas, Ed van der Elsken, The Transformation of Great European Cities, Ina van Zyl, Fiep Westendorp, The Architecture Biennale, Good Food, Circular Communities, Ontwerpen aan waardenrijke woongebouwen, Amsterdam voor sjiek en sjofel, Architectuur in Nederland / Architecture in the Netherlands, Building Narratives, The Activist City, Busan Boosters, Reconnecting with China, Exactitudes, Timbercraft and Poetics of Place. The publisher operates bilingually, with Dutch and English editions and a website that can be browsed in NL and ENG. Its output frequently accompanies major exhibitions and biennials; for example, It's About Time: The Architecture of Climate Change was published in connection with the tenth edition of the IABR (International Architecture Biennale Rotterdam), held 22 September to 13 November 2022. That book examines the intertwined histories of climate change and architecture, presenting historical and contemporary projects alongside a timeline of more than 45 key moments in the history of environmental awareness. Beyond single titles, nai010 maintains long-running series and reference works, such as the annual Architecture in the Netherlands survey, which documents recent Dutch building culture. Its list also reaches into photography, fashion and visual culture, as suggested by titles like Exactitudes and monographs on figures such as Ed van der Elsken and Fiep Westendorp. The house positions itself as a bridge between Dutch design discourse and an international readership, selling through its own bookshop and through booksellers. As a brand, nai010 is associated with high-quality, often visually rich publications aimed at architects, designers, students, cultural institutions and general readers interested in the built environment and the visual arts. Its identity is closely tied to the Dutch cultural sector and to the international circuit of architecture exhibitions and biennials.

nai010 uitgevers / publishers is a Dutch publishing house whose list centres on architecture, urbanism, art and design. Its online presence functions as both a catalogue and a bookshop, offering titles in Dutch and English and organised around themes such as architecture, art, photography and design. The publisher's name, nai010, reflects its lineage in Dutch architectural publishing; it is widely associated with the Netherlands Architecture Institute (NAi) tradition of architecture books, and it continues to publish the annual Architecture in the Netherlands series that surveys recent Dutch building. The catalogue combines monographs on individual architects and artists with broader thematic and critical works. Homepage highlights include Architects with Attitudes, Schiphol: Altijd klaar, nooit af, Yayoi Kusama: De Nederlandse jaren, 1965-1970, Willem de Kooning, Beautiful Creatures, Rem Before Koolhaas, Ed van der Elsken, The Transformation of Great European Cities, Ina van Zyl, Fiep Westendorp, The Architecture Biennale, Good Food, Circular Communities, Ontwerpen aan waardenrijke woongebouwen, Amsterdam voor sjiek en sjofel, Architectuur in Nederland / Architecture in the Netherlands, Building Narratives, The Activist City, Busan Boosters, Reconnecting with China, Exactitudes, Timbercraft and Poetics of Place. This range shows a publisher moving between architecture and the wider visual and material culture of the Netherlands and beyond. A significant strand of nai010's output is tied to exhibitions and biennials. It's About Time: The Architecture of Climate Change was published in connection with the tenth edition of the IABR, held from 22 September to 13 November 2022. The book frames climate change and architecture through the lens of time, presenting historical and contemporary projects — from solar houses to autonomous structures and from earth constructions to green utopias — alongside a timeline of more than 45 key moments in the history of environmental awareness. It applies transition research to conceptualise the present as a moment when awareness, urgency and opportunity converge, pointing towards a radically sustainable future. Through such projects, nai010 positions itself as a publisher that documents and shapes architectural debate, serving architects, designers, students, cultural institutions and general readers. Its bilingual approach and international distribution extend the reach of Dutch architectural and visual culture, while its bookshop provides a direct channel to its audience.
