Past, Present, and Future of the Built Environment and Landscapes

Architecture, Cities, Landscapes: History and Heritage

Based in Amsterdam, a world heritage site with a vibrant everyday life, this master’s programme in Architecture, Cities, Landscapes: History and Heritage offers the unique combination of architectural history and heritage studies.

History examines why the spatial environment looks and works in particular ways; heritage explores the value and meaning created around space in the present by diverse communities and understands creative approaches to the uses of the past. Thus, during this programme you will develop a multi-disciplinary analytical approach through the lenses of history and heritage.

The programme focuses on ongoing societal challenges as a point of departure, like climate change, diversity in cities, sustainable re-use of abandoned sites, decolonial perspectives, and landscape heritage and sustainability.

Register from January 1, 2025
The new master Architecture, Cities, Landscapes is currently being registered at Studielink; applications can be done as from 1 January 2025. The new programme replaces the master Heritage Studies and mastertrack Architecture.
