In the creative industry, architecture is becoming increasingly intertwined with art and design. What does this mean for the architects of the future? Will towering, minimalistic, modern buildings full of sustainable energy systems be the new construction projects going forward? Will knowledge of history and heritage soon become irrelevant? Or will the architecture of the future be a combination of preserving heritage along with art, design and architecture?
If you choose to study architecture at VU Amsterdam, you will analyse various expressions in landscape, art, design and architecture and try to understand how ideas have changed over time. You can do this on the basis of data-driven research, by visiting Amsterdam and other cities in the Netherlands and abroad, and by engaging in conversation with architects, artists, policymakers and others who exert their influence on urban and rural environments. Therefore, if you want to learn about the skyline of the future and contribute to spatial planning that respects the past, present and future, you can do so at VU and in the city of Amsterdam.
The relationship between humans and our environment is central to various programmes and research projects at VU Amsterdam. And if you want to work out possibilities that provide value to people, nature, the economy and beauty, you can do that here. After all, architecture impacts the way our landscapes and urban areas will look in the future and how we will all live together.
