History
In 1908 the Academy of Architecture Amsterdam was set up by prominent members of the association Architectura et Amicitia as a department of the Rijksakademie van beeldende kunsten. At that time Amsterdam had been lacking an architecture school for 40 years already, after the architecture department of Koninklijke Academie van Beeldende Kunsten had been moved to the Polytechnic School of Delft (now known as Delft University of Technology) in 1870.
The goal of the Academy of Architecture coincided with that of Architecture et Amicitia and as of 2020 has not been changed: new generations of practicioners passing on their professional knowledge to ever newer generations . The teachers at the Academy are practising designers; this unifies theory and practice. This union is strengthened by the requirement that students work in the field during their studies.
so the curriculum was created by both Willem Kromhout of Architectura et Amicitia and the director of the Rijksakademie, Antoon Derkinderen. Thus at the conception of the academy, education in urban design was already provided. At that time this was a relatively new discipline, and the curriculum was unique at that time.
The goal of the Academy of Architecture coincided with that of Architectura et Amicitia and has not been changed ever since: educating each other in architecture. The teachers, who generally were also members of A et A, were practising architects and only students with practical experience were admitted. This created an amalgamation of theory and practice. The first educational programme was composed by Willem Kromhout and Antoon Derkinderen, the director of the Rijksacademie van Beeldende Kunsten.
Education
The Academy of Architecture in Amsterdam is the only educational institute in the Netherlands that offers master education in architecture, urban design and landscape architecture in an interdisciplinary setting. [1] The curriculum of the master education consists of school education and education in practice. The practical experience is done in parttime with the design education in school. Because of this dual programme graduates have fulfilled the necessary experience in practice to become a chartered architect in the Netherlands.
