I'm talking with Dick van Gameren - the dean of the Faculty of Architecture and the Built Environment at TU Delft in the Netherlands, a Professor of Housing Design and architect and partner at Delft-based office - Mecanoo.

In this conversation we take a look inside TU Delft education with the reflection on times when Dick was a student himself. But the main architectural topic is housing design with the current housing shortage as a background.
