Important announcement

Dear visitor,

Please note that this OpenCourseWare platform will be replaced at the end of 2026 by a new platform (under the same url ocw.tudelft.nl).

Courses and their contents that are currently available the platform will partly be migrated. URL’s for this content will change and content might be unavailable for some time. In addition, some courses will not be available anymore.

If you are linking to specific courses on this platform (for instance for your students), please take timely measures to avoid problems with access. Possible actions are:

  • Download the materials to your local platform (laptop, server)
  • For educators only (including TU Delft lecturers): Contact us at ocw@tudelft.nl and inform us what course you are using in what context (institute, program, period of use, number of students). We will research (in collaboration with the authors of the course) and decide if we will migrate the course, and if yes, can supply you with a new url.

Thank you.

Design principles Kop van Zuid

The Kop van Zuid area of Rotterdam, once fully occupied by harbour activity, has seen a spectacular transformation in use and appearance. Through the use of maps, urban plans and diagrams its historical development and high-rise policy is discussed and analyzed. Comparison between the Oostelijk Havengebied in Amsterdam and Rotterdam Zuid clearifies the specific strategies in The Netherlands.

John Westrik is associate professor at the Chair of Urban Compositions.
