Luk Vermeulen
Growing up in a small village fostered a deep connection to nature and craftsmanship. This lead me to picking up blacksmithing as a hobby as a way of expressing my early drive to design and to create functional objects. Spending lots of time programming and tinkering developed my strong passion for technologies.
Architecture for me is the pursuit of both my passions: design and technology. The ability to create beautiful spaces and the unbelievable potential new technologies bring to the table excite me.

Profile
The integration of technology into architecture is a challenge I very much enjoy. Having completed projects with BIM and CAD software and my teaching experience give me great confidence in my software skills. I strongly believe in good teamwork and love working in creative environments. I also believe in great organization which was very useful to me while working on two other jobs besides the educational workload. Beeing my favourite project this far, the integrated project aroused my great interest in skypscrapers. Therefore my hopes are to secure a challenging role in the field of big and technologically advanced buildings, in a fast and team oriented environment that makes full use of new technologies.
