Continuing the legacy of the Rotterdam-based Berlage Institute – a groundbreaking cultural platform for study, encounter, and debate in operation from 1990 to 2012 – The Berlage Center for Advanced Studies in Architecture and Urban Design is a new initiative of the Delft University of Technology (TU Delft). An independent organization linked to the TU Delft, The Berlage aims to generate study and discussion in architecture, urban design, and landscape, expanding the university context to a wider audience.
