Lecturer in Urban Design at Delft University of Technology
Trained as an architect, Leo van den Burg was introduced to the Dutch tradition in urban planning through his work in practice. At Delft University of Technology, he coordinates the design track within the Bachelors education courses and is design teacher in a variety of others.
Leo has contributed to research programs on the development of the Dutch Randstad and Southwestern Delta. He has curated two large exhibitions on Dutch Urbanism and co-edited a number of books on various topics related to urbanism and urban analysis.
He is firmly rooted in the typical Delft approach to design: contextual and multi-scalar. In his teaching, Leo stimulates an open and experimental approach to design in which research and design activities constantly run parallel. This to-and-fro, he also tries to include in blended learning: short methodical exercises supporting intuitive design statements – and vice versa.
His personal interests include ancient cities and house typologies throughout history.
