Since the dev­as­tat­ing fire that con­sumed the noto­ri­ous archi­tec­ture fac­ulty at the TU Delft in 2008, the archi­tec­tural com­mu­nity in the Nether­lands has been hold­ing their breadth to find out what their new fac­ulty would look like. The open inter­na­tional ideas com­pe­ti­tion has recently closed, and the TU Delft is plan­ning to launch the project win­ners at the NAi in the coming weeks.

On March 14th at the NAi, the award win­ners and men­tions will be announced and a debate held to dis­cuss the work. The museum will simul­ta­ne­ous open an exhi­bi­tion doc­u­ment­ing the work that will run until the 7th June 2009. In total 466 entries came from 50 coun­tries, and the com­pe­ti­tion orga­niz­ers will pub­lish a mono­graph of the work this May.
