Academie van Bouwkunst

Academie van Bouwkunst Masteropleidingen in architectuur, stedenbouw en landschapsarchitectuur. Drie ontwerpdisciplines ver

De Academie van Bouwkunst in Amsterdam is het enige opleidingsinstituut in Nederland dat de masteropleidingen Architectuur, Stedenbouw en Landschapsarchitectuur interdisciplinair aanbiedt. Deze combinatie plaatst de Academie van Bouwkunst in binnen- en buitenland in een bijzondere positie. Het curriculum van de masteropleidingen bestaat uit een binnenschools en een buitenschools programma. De helf

t van de studie bestaat uit ontwerponderwijs, de andere helft uit werkervaring via een relevant parttime dienstverband. Deeltijdwerk en deeltijdstudie (concurrent onderwijs) vullen elkaar aan in de opleiding tot architect, stedenbouwkundige of landschapsarchitect.

Photographer Luuk Kramer is a member of the research group Architecture and Circular Thinking led by Peter van Assche. In this video, he introduces us to the attitude of Cathedral Builder by telling the story of Opus Gothique: the building of a small gothic cathedral-like building.

‘He started designing the old-fashioned way, with paper, pencil, compasses and a ruler. After finishing the drawings he started digging the site, ordered sandstones, and other materials and began to carve the stones by hand.’ 

The book Architects with Attitudes, Archetypes for a Regenerative World will be published this autumn, presenting the results of the research using ten attitudes that architects can adopt.

In July, a group of 20 students from our academy visited Bordeaux for Eurotour 2026, curated by Hannah Liem and Marie-Stella Livrieri. In the search for shade under the burning sun, students wandered through the stones of the city center and crossed the Garonne on the ferry. They walked through immense urban developments such as Bacalan and Ginko, they got inspired by Lacaton & Vassal’s Grand Parc social housing transformation, they got surprised by MVRDV’s rules for the architectural blocks and their inner climate and they peeked at the beautifully designed Maison in Bordeaux by Rem Koolhaas. They also took the time to relax in the Halles de Bacalan or Darwin’s Ecosystem, and cooled down at the Plage du Lac and CAPC. Overall, they experienced the city to its fullest!

How can the Zuid-Hollandse Delta develop into a regenerative landscape capable of withstanding the challenges of the future?

As part of the Thesis Lab ‘Generatie Regeneratie’, eight final-year students from the universities of Delft, Rotterdam and Leiden, together with seven students in landscape architecture from the Amsterdam Academy of Architecture, explored the future of the Zuid-Hollandse Delta. Taking a realistically optimistic perspective, they developed research and design proposals that illustrate what a regenerative future might look like.

Thanks to all students and partners participating! Read the white paper (in Dutch only) via our website.
