About

I am an architect engineer graduated from the Delft University of Technology. I have started my career with a master thesis that focused on iconic architecture and urban developments. My master thesis was awarded with the National Archiprix. Ever since I have gained 10 years of international experience working on high quality projects around the globe. Beside my work I like to sport and travel. I am keen on building and public space innovations. In this era, there is a need for the fusion of digital and physical spaces. I see it as a massive challenge to develop digital concepts to accelerate processes in the architecture engineering and construction industry. With special interest in circular, prefabricated and climate adaptive design and construction methods.

Poetry

We take the vision which comes from dreams
and apply the magic of science and mathematics,
adding the heritage of my profession
and my knowledge of nature’s materials
to create a design.

We organize the efforts and skills of my fellow workers
employing the capital of the thrifty
and the products of many industries,
and together we work toward our goal
undaunted by hazards and obstacles.

And when we have completed our task
all can see
that the dreams and plans have materialized
for the comfort and welfare of all.

We are Engineers
We serve mankind
by making dreams come true.
