A considerable amount of inspiring designs and ideas are developed within the context of the different studios within the Chairs of the Master of Architecture at TU Delft. The fast-paced setting of the studio-based education system leaves many of the excellent works produced unseen and forgotten.

By publishing the Architecture Annual, ARGUS wants to bring those unseen images to the table and give students the opportunity to leave their trace in a collective educational environment. The second edition of ARGUS Architecture Annual, shows the most remarkable, inspiring and ambitious projects and thesis from the academic year of 2016/2017. Over seventy selected projects from MSc 1, MSc 2 and MSc 3/4 studios, elective courses and architecture thesis courses, are documented in this yearbook. 

This year, we introduce a new structure for the Annual, a dual side format which holds two parts - Projects and Reflections. We hope that through this first attempt by our committee that readers may experience more lines of thought in viewing what is happening in our education and in the world around us, while jumping out the prescribed box of the Chair structure. It would be our great pleasure if the ARGUS Architecture Annual can intrigue new dialogues, add more flavours and provocative clues to the readers’ mind, and start new debates on what we have learned, what we can learn and what we can achieve.
