The Archiprix 2025 exhibition, showcasing 26 nominated graduation projects from Dutch master’s programs in Architecture, Urban Design, Interior Architecture, and Landscape Architecture, was recently on display at the Faculty of Architecture and the Built Environment at TU Delft. Together they address the spatial consequences of climate change, the pressures of mass migration, the complexities of belonging in a rapidly transforming world, and the challenges of urban densification. 

During the exhibition period, the jury convened at TU Delft to evaluate the entries. The judges were impressed not only by the thematic relevance and conceptual depth of the work, but also by the clarity and ambition of the proposals. The projects reflect what these young designers take from their academic training: a critical mindset, an openness to experimentation, and a strong personal drive to shape meaningful, responsive environments.

Introducing the Jury 

The jury for Archiprix 2025 brings together a diverse group of professionals whose combined expertise spans architecture, design, urbanism, landscape, research, and education. 

Laura van Santen 
Architect and co-founder of la-di-da, a studio based in The Hague, Laura van Santen focuses on sustainable and socially responsible design. Her work explores the full chain from raw material to constructed space, and she shares this approach through teaching at several design and architecture academies across the Netherlands. 

Daryl Mulvihill 
Founder of Studio dmau, Daryl Mulvihill combines urban design with a documentary filmmaker’s eye for narrative and context. His practice is rooted in interdisciplinary collaboration and public engagement. He teaches at TU Eindhoven and the Amsterdam Academy of Architecture, focusing on public domain design and urban theory. 

Claire Oude Aarninkhof 
Claire Oude Aarninkhof is a landscape architect and the founder of COALstudio. Her work is centred on climate adaptation, natural systems, and the integration of cultural landscapes in spatial planning. She is also an active educator at Wageningen University and the Academies of Architecture in Rotterdam and Amsterdam. 

Harm Rensink 
A designer of spatial experiences, Harm Rensink leads Studio Harm Rensink, focusing on interiors, installations, and wellness environments. His work explores how space can engage the senses, foster empathy, and create emotionally resonant environments. 

Merten Nefs 
Senior researcher at the Erasmus Centre for Urban, Port & Transport Economics, Merten Nefs combines a background in architecture with a PhD in spatial planning. His research addresses the intersection of economic development and spatial quality, and he is active in both research and teaching.
