Prof. Machiel van Dorst will become the new Dean of the Faculty of Architecture and the Built Environment on 1 February 2026. Van Dorst is currently Professor of Environmental Behaviour and Design.
Van Dorst graduated from TU Eindhoven in 1992 with a degree in architecture and environmental psychology. After graduating, he worked for many years as a researcher and designer. In 1997, he joined TU Delft as a researcher at The Ecological City. He has been affiliated with the Faculty of Architecture and the Built Environment since 2002, where he has also held various management positions since 2012.
‘A new generation of leadership’
“This makes him the ideal person to lead the change agenda aimed at future-proofing the faculty and creating an organisation ready for a new generation of leadership”, the Executive Board states in a press release. Van Dorst says he is “delighted to be able to actively contribute to ensure the future success of the faculty.”
Van Dorst succeeds Dick van Gameren, who has decided that after almost seven years as dean, he wants to focus entirely on his research and education as a Professor of Dwelling.
