BRIDGES Research Group
Affiliation: Postdoc Researcher
Period: 2013-present
The research group BRIDGES aims at building bridges between architectural design and engineering sciences by focussing on the conceptual design collaboration of architects and engineers in which architectural as well as building technical qualities are pursued. The research strives to enrich the architectural discourse and to instigate creative interdisciplinary design processes in which architectural and engineering knowledge is required, more specifically on matters of acoustics, construction, and structure. Research not only focuses on design collaboration practice, but also on building technical education in architecture programmes, leading to findings applicable in architectural practice as in education.
