The Faculty of Architecture at Delft University of Technology is recognised as one of the most dynamic and innovative schools of architecture in Europe. It is also one of Europe’s largest and most internationally oriented schools in the provision of architectural education and research. Its research and education programmes deal with a wide variety of design aspects, technology, planning, and management of the built enviroment.
The Architecture Annual offers a selection of articles on the school’s progress in research and education. Embracing a board range of topical issues, it includes a cross-section of research performed by Faculty members and coverage of the graduation projects carried out by students in the academic year 2001-2002. This year, design research has been the main focus of activity. In addition, extensive attention has been devited to new developments in the field of building technology, computer use, and management. The current discourse on planning isues, the network society, problems of integration, ivcreasing individualisation, and the rise of ICT does much ti define the research themes treated within its pages.
The Faculty plays a leading part in Dutch architecture, urbanism, and planning. Its graduation projects never fail to provide a new angle on design. This makes the Annual inspiring reading and a rich source of information for all those concerned with the built environment.
