The Why Factory: A Modern Lyceum? The Why Factory at TU Delft isn’t your typical think tank. Think tanks often ask “How” questions—how to implement, optimize, or innovate within existing systems. The Why Factory, by contrast, asks a fundamentally different class of questions: Why do we approach architecture and urbanism the way we do? This approach feels less like a traditional research institution and more like a modern Lyceum—a space for examining foundational ideas and assumptions. If its purveyors stay true to this vision, it could inspire profound shifts in how we understand the built environment. Of course, in a world with no shortage of challenges, some may wonder: How much room is there for “Why” when solutions are urgently needed? Perhaps it’s precisely the right time for this kind of inquiry.
