In the 1950s and ’60s, both in the Netherlands and beyond, university campuses were the predominant site of important experiments in modern architecture and urban planning. The often long-term involvement of leading designers in their development makes these campuses a subject of particular interest.
This examination of the architecture and urban planning of post-war university campuses builds on ‘OverHolland’ 18/19, which featured TU Delft and TU Eindhoven. This is now expanded to include Twente University and comparisons with campuses built elsewhere, reflecting the significance of a worldwide trend, including expansion proposals and heritage management.
