Archiprix 2026 – Introducing the Jury  

The Archiprix 2026 exhibition is on display from March 4th to March 16th at TU Delft, and from March 20th until April 18th at TU Eindhoven. The exhibition features the best 26 graduation projects from Dutch master’s programs in Architecture, Urban Design, Interior Architecture, and Landscape Architecture. Together they demonstrate a landscape of perspectives, topics, and themes at the heart of society. By making space for water in landscapes and cities, by housing marginalized groups in a cooperative manner, or by shifting perspective on extractive landscapes, to name but a few, they have opened new avenues for urban, landscape, interior and architectural design.  

While the exhibition was on display in Delft, the jury gathered to evaluate the entries. During two inspiring days, the jury carefully reviewed and evaluated all the projects. Saskia van Stein (IABR) served as chair without a vote, and Anne Hoogewoning was also present to record the jury's report. Altogether, the projects breathe the essence of what these designers have taken away from their academic education: a critical mindset, a sense of contemporary societal urgency, artistic experimentation, and a deeply personal design ethos.  

Meet the jury!

The jury for Archiprix 2026 brings together a diverse group of professionals whose combined expertise spans architecture, design, urbanism, landscape, research, and education. 

• Lieke Jildou de Jong is a landscape architect and founder of Landscape Collected. In 2022, she won the Archiprix, after which she started her own practice. Through various collaborations, she works on the Dutch landscape, with a special focus on the countryside and ecosystems. She is also active in various committees and editorial boards that engage in debate within the Dutch design community. 
• Professor Anne Loes Nillesen is founding director of urban design firm Defacto Urbanism in Rotterdam and Professor of Urban Design at the Delft University of Technology. She specializes in research and design in the domain of urban- and nature-based climate adaptation and flood risk management. She worked on the Netherlands’, Bangladesh’s and Mekong Delta plans, and many national, regional and urban adaptation strategies for cities such as Khulna and Dhaka (Bangladesh), Kigali (Rwanda), Nakuru (Kenya), Houston (USA), Amsterdam, The Hague, Utrecht and Rotterdam (Netherlands).    
• Job Floris is an architect, co-founder of Monadnock and professor at the Technical University of Braunschweig. Job trained as an architect at the Rotterdamse Academie voor Bouwkunst en Stedenbouw (RAVB), after studying at the Academie voor Beeldende Kunsten Sint-Joost in Breda. Since the beginning of his practice, Job has been involved in architectural education, both in the Netherlands and abroad. Areas of interest in Monadnock's work include contemporaneity and tradition, representation and populism, convention and banality.   
• Marc Schoonderbeek is an architect, associate professor and the Program Director of Borders & Territories. His research focusses on mapping contemporary border conditions, with an emphasis on issues of conflict, migration, (radical) differentiation, and the encountering of others. Rather than treating the border as a spatial element geared towards division, the border is conceptualized as a space of simultaneity in his research.  
• Nima Morkoç is an architect and founder of HA-HA Design and Development, a Rotterdam-based agency that focuses on innovative housing and adaptive, sustainable repurposing. He studied architecture at Delft University of Technology, where he graduated in 2019 and currently teaches a studio on housing. He previously worked at West 8 and Mei Architects, among others. In his work, he considers architecture, landscape, and urban planning to be inextricably linked, with clients and contractors as active participants. With that, development, financing, and feasibility are an integral part of the design process.
