Projections, Limits, Encounters: a month of Urban Design

Projections, Limits, Encounters: a month of Urban Design is a festival of activities around the relevance, impact, limits, and agency of urban design in relation to architecture and the urbanised landscape. Bringing together multitude of groups and organizations across university, practice and society, this program invites researchers, designers, and educators, to reflect upon the past, present, and future of urban design. This month is both a celebration of past and present work on Urban Design at the Faculty of Architecture and the Built Environment at TU Delft, as well as an opportunity to look ahead into the unchartered territory of our urban futures.

The program is the result of a cooperation between the Section of Urban Design (Department of Urbanism) with: Building Ideologies Group and Chair of Urban Architecture (Department of Architecture); Section of Spatial Planning and Strategy and Section of Landscape Architecture (Department of Urbanism); Polis Platform for Urbanism and Landscape Architecture; TU Delft Deltas, Infrastructures & Mobility Initiative (DIMI); Platform Ontwerp NL, and Public Programs of the Faculty of Architecture and the Built Environment of TU Delft.
