Research
The research of Urban Architecture focuses on the architectural transformation and renewal of the contemporary Dutch City by means of architectural interventions.
The research program is not only concerned with actual architectural interventions, but investigates also the condition and nature of urban structures. Architecture, as physical artifacts and symbolic expressions, constitutes the most important phenomenon for understanding the city.
