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.

Dipl.ing. B. Hausleitner

Birgit Hausleitner is a Lecturer of Urban Design at the Faculty of Architecture and the Built Environment, TU Delft. She has a background as an architect, being educated at TU Vienna, Austria and Politecnico di Milano, Italy, and an urbanist, trained at TU Delft, NL and IUAV Venice, Italy. After some years of gaining practical experience as an architect in Vienna, she conducts research and teaches in urban design at TU Delft since 2011. At TU Delft, Birgit coordinates urbanism theory and research and design studio courses as part of the MSc urbanism and advanced MSc of European Urbanism.

She is an expert in advanced spatial analysis and its application in urban design. Her research focuses on the development and use of configurational typologies as spatial models that allow a) a multi-scalar and multi-variable evaluation of a city’s potential for economic activity, mixed-use and diversity, and b) morphological cross-case comparisons in relation to urban economic activities. She led the TU Delft project team JPI Cities of Making, focusing on the spatial-morphological preconditions for manufacturing activities in European cities. Currently, she leads the project ‘Liveable manufacturing’, research on the spatial design requirements to include manufacturing in mixed-use areas in Amsterdam.
