Expertise

Dr Darinka Czischke is Associate Professor at the Faculty of Architecture and the Built Environment, Delft University of Technology (the Netherlands). She holds a PhD in Architecture from TU Delft, an MSc (Distinction) in Regional and Urban Planning Studies from the London School of Economics and Political Science and a B.A. in Sociology (First Class Hons) from the Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile.

In 2014 Darinka was awarded the Delft Technology Fellowship to establish her own research programme in the field of contemporary collaborative housing approaches.

Darinka’s work focuses on three main research fields:

  1. Housing policies, management and governance, in particular social and affordable housing in a comparative international perspective.
  2. Collaborative housing and urban planning: co-production, social innovation, social experimentation and social enterprise in housing and neighbhourhoods. 
  3. Socially sustainable urban development and regeneration: urban density, proximity, urban sustainability transitions, liveability. 

Darinka has applied organisational, sociological, housing and planning theories to understand the interphase between societal processes, institutions and the built environment. Her recent research focuses on the potential for hybrid organisations to achieve multiple and (often) conflicting objectives in the built environment. She is also interested in new practices and conceptualisations of ‘sustainability’ and co-production in housing and urban regeneration processes. Her work favours a pluralistic epistemological approach and mix-methods, with an emphasis on qualitative, longitudinal and ethnographic methodologies.
