Critical Grounds

Graduation exposition Master Architecture — Architectuur Academie Maastricht

11 till 18 July 2025

Critical Grounds presents the graduation projects of the Master's program in Architecture at the Maastricht Academy of Architecture.

The projects are situated across various locations in the southern Netherlands and Flanders — ranging from urban environments to industrial zones and villages, from adaptive reuse to new construction, and from public functions to residential designs. Each project is deeply rooted in its context, demonstrating a strong connection not only to the physical surroundings but also to the social, cultural, and historical layers that define these places. The designers’ close engagement results in a distinctiveness of vision, approach, and architectural expression. These qualities are reflected in eight diverse projects; at the same time, they form the common ground on which the projects resonate with one another.
