Students at the Delft University School of Architecture, or Bouwkunde Delft, in the Netherlands, may have a stunning new building to go to, thanks to talented designer Peter Mitterer.

The new Delft University School of Architecture will be a more-than-suitable replacement for the original school, which unfortunately burned down. According to Evolo, the new building will supplant "the traditional binary circulation logic of educational buildings by a more differentiated network logic." The new structure features [undulating ceilings and walls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/taichung-apartment), creating curvy, pocketlike sections throughout the building. Indeed, when you look at the design plans from a bird's eye view, you'll see that the whole things looks like a big oscillating wave.

With an innovative and contemporary design befitting of an [architecture school](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/atelier-ppw), the new Delft University School of Architecture also aims to effectively maximize social and creative interaction among students.

## Key Themes

### What Makes This Trend Stand Out

- **Contemporary Architecture Design:** Designing buildings with innovative and contemporary designs can enhance the functionality and aesthetics of architectural spaces.
- **Differentiated Network Logic:** Replacing traditional circulation logic with a more differentiated network logic can improve flow and interaction within educational buildings.
- **Curvilinear Structures:** Incorporating curvy, pocketlike sections in building structures can create visually striking and dynamic architectural spaces.

### Sectors Adopting This

- **Architecture:** The architecture industry can explore new design approaches and techniques to create innovative and visually appealing buildings.
- **Education:** The education industry can adopt new architectural concepts that enhance student interaction and creativity within learning environments.
- **Construction:** The construction industry can incorporate curvilinear structures and differentiated network logic in building projects to offer unique and cutting-edge designs.
