Arie Bergsma opens with a quickscan of the current international focus on the facade theme, stating the development is a result of optimization within the facade industry. He relates this shift to an increasing demand for knowledge exchange and stipulates the need for active participation by education (and research) institutes.
The 'International Facade Master' is a specialization within the Master of Science (MSc) in Architecture, Urbanism and Building Sciences at the Faculty of Architecture, TU Delft (The Netherlands) responding to this demand. In his lecture, Arie explains 'WHY?' and how.

3. Our homework/some questions:
• …….
• What is an international façade?
• What are historically typical Dutch facades?
• What makes Dutch façade special today?
• What are Dutch facades internationally known for?
• What determines this specialism? Is it the culture, climate,….?
• Who determines this specialism? (building industry, architects, clients, media like television, internet?)
• Should we educate for the national or the international market?
• Can you create a Dutch national façade when you are not Dutch?
• ………

Why national or international façade?: skills, status,

transport, communication,
internet, network
of skills and
capacities,etc.

9. My opinion:
(Almost) every façade is western society is international,
depending on scale level and point of view.
Interesting question is: what are the mechanisms
responsible for this international context?
