Guest Lectures and Events are an important part of the communal life at AD, specially our lunch and lecture events on Thursdays and we'd like you to join.
All FYE students are specially invited to share the lunch and lecture with us.
Every Thursday with the exception of a few weeks at the beginning and end of semester, AD hosts a lecture series of invited guest presenters. The range of topics is wide, multidisciplinary sometimes, at others local community organizations, workshops and even out alumni come in to speak to us.
The time is always noon - 1 pm, and a free lunch is served for all attending, speaking or dropping by if you are FYE. Lunch is great home made food or failing that pizza. Never a dull lunch or speaker!
Here are the speakers up to mid semester this Spring:

Gerda Roelveld, landscape architect and photographer |
No (North-)Sea too High |
Gerda Roeleveld is a landscape architect (MSC Wageningen University, with distinction) and photographer (BA ArtEZ Institute of the Arts Arnhem). She has broad experience as a practitioner in the field of spatial analysis, visioning and spatial planning policy development. For over 20 years she worked for the Ministry of Housing, Spatial Planning and the Environment in The Netherlands, on spatial planning topics at the national and European Union level. After joining Deltares, an independent institute for applied research in the field of water and subsurface in Delft, she specialized further in water management questions and was involved in projects under the Dutch Delta program. The ambition to integrate state of the art scientific knowledge into landscape design processes is the common thread in her career.
"This talk is about the power of design. I'll use as an example the design exercise for the North Sea, which I developed last year for Deltares CEO's to do. The main aim of that exercise was demonstrate how designers work, how a design approach differs from an analytic approach, what the added value can be of cooperation of designers, scientists and engineers. I'll also include some design examples for the North Sea by others, to illustrate how design harnesses imagination into discussable options for future development."
