ITC, International Institute for Geo-Information Sciences, is a prominent part of the University of Twente. It’s a place where students working towards their Master’s and PhD degrees, as well as researchers from all over the world, come together in Enschede to explore sustainable solutions. This faculty serves as their gathering spot and a symbol of sustainability. The building was designed by a team, including Civic Architects, VDNDP, Studio Groen+Schild, and DS Landscape architects.

Words by Bronwyn Marshall Navigating its steeply sloping site with ease, Amiri stacks multiple levels to capture views and align functionality with an ingrained sense of flow. Residence Studio and Kelder Architects sculpt a contemporary and openly connected home that feels deliberately transportive in nature while also being anchored in place, passively engaged with the surrounds. As a place of considered equilibrium, Amiri feels both open and closed at the same time.
