Andrea Prins is an independent Rotterdam-based researcher, essayist, and academic lecturer. She investigates and writes about space in its broadest sense.
Her work focuses on the impact of spatial decisions made explicitly or implicitly by planners, politicians, economists, and designers on people's lives. Her expertise is located at the intersection of architecture, history (of ideas), and societal changes. Andrea publishes on housing and habitation, (in)hospitality of public space, social sustainability, Asian architecture, and critical writing itself. Reflective and critical texts, according to Andrea, should be accessible to a wide audience.
Before starting her independent practice, Andrea worked as an architect, architectural historian, and business manager in the Netherlands and Germany. In 2021 she published her book Wonen /nl, rooted in embodied field research and critical analysis of floor plan typologies. Since 2022 she also works with design students in the Netherlands, Germany and South Korea.
