Coast Atlas
Project NL
Thursday 23 January 2025 – Friday 21 February 2025
Corridor 01.Oost.700
This exhibition puts on display the publication Coast Atlas, an investigation and documentation into the physical transformation of a section of the South Holland coastline, from Hoek van Holland to Katwijk aan Zee. It is the third iteration of the Berlage's long-standing Project NL design-research course in collaboration with Allmaps and the TU Delft Library. The course is structured in three parts: first, collecting, categorizing, and annotating archival materials to document the spatial changes related to the specific themes; second, analyzing and translating these transformations into synthetic drawings, developing arguments that identify architectural and landscape design questions related to territorial developments in the Dutch coastal area, and approaches taken in response; and third, summarizing the findings through a physical exhibition, a digital application, a publication, and a final event. This comprehensive approach allows students to engage with the culture of shaping the environment in the Netherlands, particularly focusing on coastal transformations over time.
