// Big Trip
Every year we organise an international trip where we visit a region and have fun collaborating with the local offices and municipalities to provide opportunities to learn about the urban problems on ground. Previous big trips included Sweden, Morocco, Bucharest, Finland and many more fun places with diverse landscapes and urban conditions. Apart from the big trip we also organise local excursions in and around The Netherlands.
This year we traveled through Warsaw, Katowice, and Krakow to explore Poland’s urban, social, and landscape transitions. In Warsaw, we visited the Finnish settlement of Jazdów and met with architectural offices and the Zodiak pavilion to discuss current planning strategies. In Silesia, we worked with the University of Economics in Katowice to study the region’s polycentric structure and energy transition, and we visited the historic Guido mine. The trip culminated in a curated TU Delft exhibition on landscape morphology, spatial justice, and adaptation to change.

Join us for a journey to Spain! Dive into the Spanish culture, landscapes, and urban stories. This is not just simply a leisure trip. We want to learn something from the local contexts we visit, to refresh our view on landscape architecture and urbanism, and to share our experiences with the community in BK. This year our gaze is upon how design is being done in the face of new and rising urgencies like climate and urban pressures. On the trip we will gather materials and insights and many videos, and afterwards assemble and synthesise our findings into a lay exhibition with a documentary to be displayed at BK around the end of April 2026.
When: 01 Feb 2026- 07 Feb 2026
Where: Madrid, Valencia, Barcelona, Spain
// Medium trip
This year we visited the Dutch dunes with and explored how the dune landscape is being explored to adapt the coastal environment to create more sustainable and climate resilient urban and landscape infrastructure. We explored the parking structure at Katwijk een Zee and the interesting landscape development at Hondsbossche Zeewering.
