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.

Luz Maria Vergara d'Alençon

“Online education is an excellent tool to enlarge the impact of education in an effective and democratic way. The virtual classroom is open to anyone that wants to participate and learn, giving us the chance to have a vastly intercultural and diverse audience that we could never have in a traditional classroom. It is an exceptional opportunity to exchange knowledge between students and teachers from all over the world!”

Luz Maria Vergara d’Alençon is a PhD candidate in the Department of Management in the Built Environment at TU Delft. Her research project focuses on housing management and low-income homeownership in condominium tenure. She is an architect and holds a MSc in Architecture from Universidad Católica de Chile (Catholic University of Chile).

Luz María was born in Chile and resides in the Netherlands since 2014. Throughout her professional career she has performed functions in architectural design, independent consultancy, research and teaching.
