Abstract
The book INSIGHT focuses on academic skills for architects, in particular for bachelor students. It has proven to be valuable for the BSc programme in Architecture, Urbanism, and Building Sciences (Bouwkunde): for the students as learning material, for the authors and editors due to the collegial process of development, and for teaching staff as a book to use as a reference. The basic four-part structure allows for new contributions based on changes in the curriculum: [part one] Architecture as a scientific discipline, [part two] General academic skills for architects, [part three] Specific architectural skills and research methods, and [part four] Academic skills in practice. The book has supported exchange among the throughlines (leerlijnen) within the curriculum and collaboration among colleagues. Challenges remain: keeping the book updated as an open learning resource, tracking curricular developments, and creating additional learning materials.
