TUdelft

델프트역에서 버스를 타고  약 5~10분정도 TUdelft로 이동한다. TUdelft AURA정류장에서 하차 후 여기저기 돌아 다녔다. TUdelft가 넓다보니 보고 찍고 하는 것들이 너무도 많다. 델프트는 TUdelft의 도시라고  할 수 있을 정도로 이 도시에 델프트공대의 의미는 남다르다. 그래서 이 작은 도시에 많은 주목을 하는 것이라 할 수 있겠다.

After the end of the second world war, TU Delft increased its rapid academic expansion. Studium Generale was established at all universities in the Netherlands, including TU Delft, to promote a free and accessible knowledge related to culture, technology, society and science. Because of the increasing number of students, in 1974 the first Reception Week for First Year Students (Dutch: Ontvangst Week voor Erstejaar Studenten, OWEE) was established, which became a TU Delft tradition since then. On September 1, 1986 Delft Institute of Technology officially changed its name to Delft University of Technology, underlining the quality of the education and research provided by the institution. In the course of further expansion, in 1987 Delft Top Tech institute was established, which provided a professional master education in management for people working in the technology-related companies. On September 1, 1997 13 faculties of TU Delft were merged into 9, providing better efficiency in management of the increasing in size university. In the early 90s, because of an overwhelming outnumbering of female students by men, an initiative to increase the number of women studying at the university resulted in founding a separate emancipation commission at TU Delft. As a result Girls Study Technology (Dutch: Meiden studeren techniek) days were established. In later years the responsibilities of the commission were distributed over multiple institutes. Since 2006 all buildings of the university are placed outside of the historical city center of Delft. Relatively new building of Material Sciences department was sold, later demolished in 2007 to give place for a newly built building of the Haagse Hogeschool. Closer cooperation between TU Delft and Dutch universities of applied sciences resulted in physical transition of some of the institutes from outside to Delft. In September 2009 many institutes of applied sciences from the Hague region as well as Institute of Applied Sciences in Rijswijk, transferred to Delft, close to the location of the university, at the square between Rotterdamseweg street and Leeghwaterstraat street. On May 23, 2008 a huge fire, presumably from the ruptured water pipe which short circuited a coffee machine in the building, completely destroyed the building of Faculty of Architecture. Luckily, architecture library, containing several thousands of books and maps, as well many achritecture models, including chairs by Gerrit Rietveld and Le Corbusier, was completely saved. Currently, Faculty of Architecture has moved to the old Aula of TU Delft. 2007 marks the moment when three Dutch technical universities, TU Delft, TU Eindhoven and University of Twente, established a federation, called 3TU.
