Dick van Gameren on TU Delft, housing design and learning from the past

I'm talking with Dick van Gameren - the dean of the Faculty of Architecture and the Built Environment at TU Delft in the Netherlands, a Professor of Housing Design and architect and partner at Delft-based office - Mecanoo.

In this conversation we take a look inside TU Delft education with the reflection on times when Dick was a student himself. But the main architectural topic is housing design with the current housing shortage as a background.

What makes TU Delft unique and outstanding?
Why shouldn't the architecture school prepare students for their professional career?
What are the circumstances of the current housing crisis?
How can we provide high quality, long-term housing solutions?
What is your opinion on building artificial islands, densifying the cities or building in Dutch open land?
What are the valuable traditional dutch patterns in housing design that we should be conscious about?
