"Countries are typically defined by their cities and infrastructure, and specifically by their landmark buildings. These are often iconic structures pushing design frontiers while addressing architectural challenges with innovative solutions. Think of the shell-shaped Sydney Opera House or the 828-meter-high Burj Khalifa in Dubai. Closer to home, consider Market Hall, the Erasmus Bridge as well as Rotterdam Central Station and – located in the very city in which our TU/e is located – the landmark Evoluon. If you dream of realizing a building that makes your country proud, then why not develop your knowledge of infrastructure principles and follow the Architecture, Building and Planning (ABP) master’s program at the Eindhoven University of Technology?\n\nWHAT DOES ARCHITECTURE, BUILDING AND PLANNING ENCOMPASS FROM A SOCIAL PERSPECTIVE?\n\nCurrent societal and sustainable developments invariably provide food for thought on how we perceive our built environment. This built environment includes land, air, water, transportation, communications and a logistics network – aimed at optimizing the effectiveness of land use and infrastructure. Issues like climate change, a rapidly-growing population and a serious housing shortage have been around for decades, but nowadays they are more on the agenda than ever before. Dilemmas of this nature require incisive thinking and innovative technologies to constantly adapt and upgrade the city of today to make it ready for the demands of tomorrow.\n\nArt and science join forces in the field of architecture, building and planning for our built environment. You can contribute to our future built environment as an architect, an urbanist, a real estate specialist, a mobility adviser, a civil engineer, a structural designer, or a building physics expert. The Architecture, Building and Planning (ABP) master’s program at the Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e) prepares you for these professions or for pursuing an academic career. An ABP graduate must ensure a building is not only functional and aesthetic, but safe too – by integrating art, science and technology. Our Architecture, Building and Planning master’s program brings out the thought leader in you, a true professional who can go beyond the borders of current imagination and (re)shape the built environment and the building industry.\n\nOur master’s program at the TU/e covers the broad spectrum of disciplines related to the built environment. They range from architectural and urba"
