Rients Dijkstra is principal of Maxwan Architects and urbanists, senior architect and urban designer. He has studied architecture and urban design at the Delft University of Technology. There he graduated with honors in 1989. He worked with architects Frits van Dongen (de ArchitectenCie) and Rem Koolhaas (OMA). In his capacity as project architect and urbanist for the Office for Metropolitan Architecture, he has contributed to the Lille 'Euralille' Master Plan (1990-1991) and he was team leader and chief designer for the Amsterdam Y-Oevers (banks of the river Y) Master Plan (1992) and the Tram tunnel in Den Hague (1993). In '93 Rients Dijkstra was invited to design the Urban Master Plan for Leidsche Rijn, a new town of 30'000 houses. This unusual first assignment kick-started his own practice: Maxwan architects and urbanists. Rients Dijkstra has recently been appointed as a member of Ken Livingstone's Design for London Advisory Group, as a member of the Barking Riverside Design Advisory Panel and as Supervising Master Planner for the Rotterdam Central Station surroundings master plan. At present he teaches at the Berlage Institute Rotterdam.
