Today we are seeing unprecedented urban challenges around the world and these will only increase in the coming decades. Whereas approximately 10% of the world’s population lived in urban environments in the mid-20th century, that figure has now reached 50% and is set to increase to 75% by 2050. This issue brings together all the major social themes – health, energy, transport and mobility and the living environment. Furthermore, every aspect of the built environment in which we all reside has been and continues to be designed and made. This task not only involves long-term objectives but also happens in the here and now, where interaction with the world of practice plays an essential role.

Students and professionals at BK are creative and unconventional thinkers, and combine academic skills with practical knowledge. The faculty attracts MSc and PhD students from across the world, not least because of its outstanding research facilities and the highly-praised building. The link with practice is integral to Architecture and the Built Environment and reflected in the relatively large number of part-time appointments and visiting or guest lecturers. BK promotes a competitive economy by educating engineers who are socially aware, developing new knowledge and devising innovative design-oriented solutions. BK’s primary focus is the quality of life in buildings, towns and cities and regions. 3 4 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Peter Russell Education 16 Dean Bachelor 17

15 16 Master Architecture, Urbanism and Building Sciences Creating an inspiring and sustainable living environment The master Architecture, Urbanism and Building Sciences programme is underpinned by the renowned Dutch experience in architecture, spatial planning and the built environment professions, and has an international orientation drawing on the multinational faculty of staff and students. The teaching approach borrows from the Dutch tradition of working in a multi-disciplinary way with students collaborating in groups to create integrated solutions for the built environment.

Our aim is to enable students to build the practical skills needed to make an effective contribution to practice, whilst also laying the foundations of understanding of principles that will guide long-term career development.

This programme sets itself apart from other architecture programmes in the diversity of directions available. Blending knowledge and skills from design practice, from the physical and social sciences, technology and engineering, this programme explores innovative ways to create more sustainable development.

On application, students choose one of five master tracks for the duration of their degree Architecture, Urbanism, Management in the Built Environment, Building Technology or Landscape Architecture. Within each track students have the freedom to investigate different specialisations and themes, before choosing a specialisation for their final graduation project.

All Master’s are taught in English.

17 18 Master track Architecture Designing for contemporary demands for continuity and change. The master track Architecture develops creative and innovative building projects that use design as a means to deal with technical, social and spatial challenges encountered in the built environment. It draws on the rich architectural tradition of the faculty. It sets itself apart from other architecture schools in the diversity of directions available. Students can choose from over thirty studios each with a different focus from conceptual to concrete, from technical to theoretical and from building to city scales. Each studio combines teaching by academics and practitioners from leading architectural firms.

It is structured with a preparatory year focusing on core subjects and studios followed by a graduation studio in the final year. Students choose to specialise in one of many graduation studios, giving students a wide choice of options within the programme. They develop an independent and academic attitude and are given the opportunity to design their own projects in the speciality of their choice, supported by an excellent infrastructure of model-making facilities, studio spaces and frequent excursions, workshops and seminars.

Graduates from this master track have an integrated, design-led approach to tackle complex issues of the contemporary built environment allowing them to take up a diversity of career prospects in architecture and related fields. Given the university’s connection to important industry figures, graduates have good access to job opportunities in the Netherlands and abroad.

Students learn to integrate social, cultural, economic and political perspectives with the natural and man- made conditions of a site in order to shape and plan for more sustainable development. The programme differs from other urban design or planning programmes in its integrated planning, design, science and engineering approach. They work on several scales, from regional strategic visions to neighbourhood redevelopment projects. Through these projects they can respond to local trends such as congestion, mobility, urban renewal, shrinkage and densification and global trends such as globalisation, climate change, demographic trends and energy transition.

The track aims to provide the prospective urban planner/designer with academic skills to analyse urban environments and urban developments in a critical way and to propose new solutions for an efficient, sustainable and liveable organisation and management of the urban environment. Graduates are well placed to work for urban design and planning offices, government authorities and to join research networks in the Netherlands and abroad.

They learn how to manage the process at the ‘object level’ – that is, involving buildings and structures, as well as at the ‘supply level’ – involving the management of real estate portfolios and urban areas.

This master track sets itself apart from other Management in the Built Environment tracks in its design focus. As part of the Faculty of Architecture and the Built Environment, it builds on the strength in creating multidisciplinary design based solutions. Graduates have the unique advantage of having a design- led perspective on how the construction industry operates.

Resilient DenCity Vincent Marchetto 23 24 Master track Building Technology Focus on innovation and sustainability Building Technology encompasses a broad spectrum of engineering and architectural design skills that lead to one of the dominant professions of the future: the sustainable designer.

Through focusing on structural, façade and climate design, the master tracks learns students how to contribute to smart buildings that are sustainable, comfortable and environmentally intelligent. The emphasis of this programme is on the design of innovative and sustainable building components and their integration into the built environment. This programme stands out internationally because of its integration of architectural design with technical disciplines, filling the niche between architecture and engineering. Students investigate the whole breadth of building technology, looking at climate design, façade design and structural design, producing designers that know how engineers work. The programme offers a balance between applied research and design of buildings and building elements.

Building technology graduates are in high demand as the construction industry is lacking designers that bridge this gap between the architectural and engineering disciplines. Given that graduates can make decisions based on calculations and integrate them into architecture, they can direct structural engineers and manage complex processes. Graduates are sought after for architectural offices, engineering offices and specialised façade manufacturers.

The programme examines the development of architectural design – focusing on the changing definitions of architecture, the transforming approaches of analysis and design, and the position architects can take in this context – with the goal of providing new perspectives on how we think, design and build today.

The programme is composed of two sub- programmes, each of which has multiple research groups. The Architectural Project sub-programme encompasses design-led investigations into how architectural projects can perform at the scale of the building, the city and the territory, while the Foundations sub-programme studies the theoretical, methodological and historical underpinnings of the architectural project, investigating architectural perspectives, approaches, instruments and disciplinary boundaries.

This is addressed through five expertise fields, which are Climate & Resources, Comfort & Health, Facades & The Making, Structures & Materials and Computational Performance. By combining the core competences that are embedded within these expertise domains and through direct collaboration with the market, progressive research results are obtained on a variety of research themes, such as energy transition, climate adaptation, health and comfort of occupants, , new material applications, circular design, intelligent skins and additive manufacturing.

The research of the Design Engineering programme is closely linked to societal issues in the field of sustainable development, climate adaptation and the ageing of the population. All these with the user of the building in focus and in direct interaction with the existing technology and technological innovations. Many of its research projects are initiated with parties from the public and commercial market and serve both scientific development in new areas and dissemination in the built environment or building industry. This is facilitated through a solid foundation of financial, material and human resources. The research programme has strong links with the market, public and private. In fact, the results are adopted by stakeholders outside the university, such as in the design, engineering, planning and manufacturing sectors.

Our perspective is that preserving building materials, transforming heritage structures and landscapes, and designing new buildings in existing surroundings is inextricably bound with the context of the location as well as the history, the place and the materiality of the building.

We have chosen ‘resilience’ as our collective theme. We define resilience as the capacity of materials, buildings and cities as part of associated social systems to respond to or recover from diverse challenges. We include in this understanding resilience ranging from tangible structures (materials, buildings or cities) to environmental challenges, as well as the resilience of people and their cities when faced with political, economic or social threats.

The group has a world-class international reputation for its socially relevant applied research, scholarship and education. The research agenda reflects our understanding that the quality of the urban environment makes a critical contribution to the social, economic and environmental performance of societies. Urbanism has a huge part to play in the quality of places, often allocating great advantages to some and costs to others. We take the Dutch model of urbanism into the international arena in order to explain practice and develop solutions, whilst being sensitive to local conditions.

The research programme emphasises both the deepening of knowledge in disciplinary specialisms and problem-solving around socially relevant research themes. It comprises urban design, strategic spatial planning, landscape architecture and environmental modelling.
