As the new academic year kicks off, we look back at last semester when FELT had the pleasure of tutoring the “Maastunnel Museum” studio at the Rotterdam Academy of Architecture (RAvB).
Starting from the discovery of the striking ventilation buildings of the Maastunnel — interwar gems by Ad van der Steur — students explored their potential through scenography, axonometric reference research, and finally a reuse exercise that reimagined these technical monuments as a public museum.
A mandatory extension pushed them to reflect on broader themes such as copy, contrast, context, and heritage — sparking new perspectives on how we engage with the past in design.
A warm thank you to the students for their inspiring work, and to our co-teacher Hülya Ertas, and guest critics Ewout De Bleser and Hinke Majoor for their valuable contributions.
