Berlage Institute
The Berlage is an advanced postgraduate program currently based in Delft, the Netherlands. Founded in 1990 as the Berlage Institute in Amsterdam, it operated as an independent, unaccredited postgraduate school of architecture with an international student body and faculty, later relocating to Rotterdam.
Named after the Dutch architect Hendrik Petrus Berlage, the institute established a reputation as a platform for experimental design and critical discourse. In 2012, the program was re-established at Delft University of Technology as the Berlage Center for Advanced Studies in Architecture and Urban Design, becoming an accredited program offering a post-master degree. While undergoing institutional and geographic transformations, the program has maintained continuity in its pedagogical approach, adapting to new academic and cultural contexts while preserving its focus on cross-cultural research and design.
