Delft University of Technology, Public technical university in Delft, Netherlands
Delft University of Technology is a public institution focused on engineering and applied sciences in the Netherlands. Its campus includes research buildings, laboratories, a library with a grass-covered roof, and several faculty structures spread across a large area.
The institution began in 1842 as a royal academy training civil servants for colonial administration. It later evolved into a full technical university with a focus on engineering research.
The university draws over 26,000 students from numerous countries, creating an international learning environment where 53 percent of faculty members come from abroad.
The site can be explored on foot or by bicycle, as paths between buildings are well marked. Many facilities open during working hours, though some areas require permission to enter.
A botanical garden on campus preserves plant collections for teaching and research. The library building features a walkable grass roof that slopes gently over the structure and serves as a public space.

This collection brings together 50 universities from four continents, among the best known in the world. You can find institutions that were founded centuries ago, with campuses full of history, next to research centers working on future technologies. These places host students, researchers, and teachers from all over the world. This creates a lively environment that often spills over into nearby neighborhoods. In Oxford and Cambridge, medieval colleges line cobbled streets where students ride bikes. In Boston, the brick buildings of Harvard and the modern labs of MIT run along the Charles River. In California, Stanford sets up its arcades under the sun, while in Zurich, ETH watches over the city from above. In Singapore, the tropical campus blends into the thick greenery of the island. Each university leaves its mark on the cityscape, drawing visitors with its architecture, history, or just curiosity to see these places where part of today’s thinking forms.
