Abstract

Eugen Gugel came to the Netherlands to become the first architecture professor at the newly established Polytechnic School in Delft, in 1864. In fact, he was not just the first professor of architecture here in Delft, but in the entire country. Over almost 40 years, Gugel managed to build up the field of Dutch academic architectural education from scratch. This exhibition starts from an Album that his former students presented to Gugel on the occasion of his 25th anniversary as a professor, which is held in the special collections of TU Delft Library. In addition publications by Gugel and other heritage objects are on display inside the faculty library.
