Sufficiency Consultancy

This studio considers how increasing climate instability and economic inequity encourage us to reconsider both the means and ends of design practice.

Brabant WaterLand

Through the lens of water and soil, Brabant WaterLand addresses the challenges of urban planning and design by grounding its approach in the systems that shape and sustain our landscapes.

Urban Planet

Drawing on an interdisciplinary literature spanning planning and urban theory, history, and the urban social sciences, students explore the emergence, development, and ongoing transformation of cities in relation to changing configurations of urbanisation and myriad socio-spatial struggles, in chronological order, with cases from around the globe.

Climate resilient city

Temperatures are rising globally, contributing to more frequent and intense extreme weather such as heat waves, drought, heavy rainfall, and floods, placing increasing pressure on urban area. This studio explores how designing through the lens of water can leverage a climate-resilient future for Eindhoven.

Revamp the Unloved buildings

This graduation project explores the concept of unloved buildings and investigates why certain buildings become overlooked, undervalued, or neglected by their users and communities.

Regenerating Neighbourhoods

In this studio, we explore new living concepts, commons, and social infrastructures in the context of neighbourhood regeneration and revitalization.

Making Meaning

In this experiential and hands-on course, students explore design thinking through modelmaking and drawing.

Practical assignment Bouwkundewinkel Master Q1

After severe flooding in Eindhoven during the wet winter of 2023–2024, the municipality sought more climate‑resilient building approaches. Students were asked to envision how Eindhoven could be redesigned using water- and soil-based principles.

Spatial Imagination

The purpose of this course is learning to look critically at the notion of space. The student will gain understanding of how a work of art and architecture is produced and how the observer responds to it.

Folly & Sacral

Most architecture has a more or less utilitarian function (but good architecture always transcends a narrow strictly serving role!). 

Thinking Eye

The purpose of this course is to learn to create persuasive and good communicative drawings and images yourself, made by hand as well as made by computer, and the blending of both.

Home for All

In this studio, we address housing as a spatial justice issue that demands multi-scale social and spatial intervention.

Future Healthy Cities

This master’s studio explores how AI-enhanced data-driven design approaches can support the creation of healthier and more inclusive urban environments.

Bachelor End Project AUDE 2 Urbanism

Urban designers today face a complex set of global challenges that demand innovative thinking, long-term planning and immediate action. The students’ task is to develop a vision of what our urban future should look like and test it on a case study.
