Non-Conventional Architectural Engineering

Born 1979, Amsterdam. Studied Building Technology in Amsterdam and Architectural Design at Eindhoven University. Graduated in Product Development in 2006. Worked at Tentech Utrecht as a technical designer and engineer for lightweight and membrane structures and worked as a tutor at Einhoven University.

I currently work in Rotterdam as an architectural designer and engineer, teach at Utrecht School of the Arts and work as a teacher and researcher at Sint-Lucas School of Architecture Brussels - Ghent.

In my research I'm inspired by fashion, textile techniques and tectonics. I'm am looking for ways to make the architectural skin more contemporary and its vocabulary more extensive. My work has been defined as technological art with temporality and the tectonics of the skin as a starting point.
