She highlights the significance of cultural climates, as seen in her comparative studies of architecture in China and the Netherlands. Hein has conducted significant research on global oil architecture and the implications of urban planning, drawing parallels between cities like Rotterdam and Antwerp. Additionally, she investigates the traditions of Communist planning in Russia and how these historical frameworks can inform modern architectural education. Hein argues that architects must be critically aware of history to design effectively and responsibly in today's complex urban landscapes.
Requirements apply generally across engineering and science master programs. Specific tracks like Architecture require a digital portfolio.
