Lidwine Spoormans (1977) is an assistant professor in Heritage & Architecture. She was trained at Delft Technical University as an architect and architectural engineer and studied at Arkitekthøgskolen in Oslo. After working in architecture offices on designing new construction and renovation of mainly large-scale housing projects, she founded Studio LS, a practice for design and research in architectural transformation. Since 2010, she has worked for the chair of Heritage & Design at Delft Technical University. She organised a series of graduation studios on the topic of housing heritage and neighbourhood renovation. She specialised in housing renovation, building systems, intervention methods, and young heritage. Researches she conducted include strategies for energy-efficient housing transformations, analysis of adaptations of traditional Japanese townhouses, overview of end walls of Dutch housing typologies and a biography of the post-war housing area Ommoord. In 2017, she initiated the digital platform ‘Love 80’s architecture’ (www.love80sarchitecture.nl). Her PhD thesis titled “Everyday Heritage - Identifying attributes of 1965-1985 residential neighbourhoods by involved stakeholders” reveals new knowledge on young heritage and stakeholder involvement. Her current research aims to bridge the gap between listed heritage and everyday architecture.
