Report from TU delf Architecture

 

As promised, here is a report from TU Delf. It is probably one of the best organized public School of architecture that I know of. After the fire of two years ago, they recovered very fast.. The crisis created an incredible energy and the Shool now is much better than before.
Combination of public and private activities are superb, as well of old and new structures. Here are some views and parcticularly some movies that for who is interested to plan and design a School or to ameliorate one, are relevant.

Studio Space Let's start from the studio space. As you see the room as small rooms for seminar and reviews and then a very large studio space, with spaces for models adn storage. Closets at the end are extremely important because allow the rotation of users. Of course the table have electrical plugs. Other details in the movie 

Connection Spaces. What is interesting here is the multifunctional characterisctic of the space. it is used not only for circulation but for display and probably for  reviews. Notice the study corner on the Space-blue room-sofa. Details in The movie
