Leo van den Burg
Leo van den Burg serves as section leader of Urban Design and Faculty coordinator of bachelor's education at TU Delft's Faculty of Architecture and the Built Environment. After graduating with honors from TU Delft in 1997, he has established himself as a key figure in advancing the 'Delft Approach' to urbanism, which emphasizes contextual and multi-scalar design thinking. His work spans teaching, research, and curation, including the development of a successful MOOC on Dutch Urbanism that has reached over 10,000 participants. As coordinator of the bachelor's design track, he oversees courses introducing urbanism to more than 400 students annually. His research focuses on typo-morphological analysis, Dutch city development, and the intersection of urbanism and architecture. He has contributed significantly to exhibitions and publications on Dutch urban design practice, with articles appearing in OverHolland magazine and KNOB bulletin. His teaching philosophy emphasizes an experimental approach that integrates research and design activities, particularly through blended learning methodologies that combine methodical exercises with intuitive design exploration.
Rients Dijkstra
Rients Dijkstra serves as a Design Fellow of Urban Design at TU Delft's Faculty of Architecture and the Built Environment while also being a partner at PosadMaxwan. After graduating from TU Delft in architecture and urban planning, he worked at the Office for Metropolitan Architecture (OMA) from 1991 to 1994 before founding Maxwan.
