The new architect

In the context of the recent economic crisis, which has affected the building industry very strongly in the Netherlands, architects are ‘reinventing themselves’. The role of architects is gradually transforming from design-related to more process-related. Architects take on both wider roles and more narrow roles in the buildings process.
This research project investigates the position of architects in housing in a European perspective to identify, visualise and enhance the added value of architects. The project consists of gaining and exchanging knowledge and reflecting on current developments.
