Personal profile

Academic background

I am trained as architect and building engineer and now work Section Leader and an associate professor at Delft University of Technology, Faculty of Architecture and the Built Environment, section Heritage & Architecture. I am Secretary General of Docomomo International and Chair of Docomomo Netherlands. Since 2022 I am – together with Uta Pottgiesser - editor in chief of the SCOPUS indexed Docomomo Journal. I serve at the Faculty Career Development Committee and co-chair the design-coursescommittee of the Bachelor’s curriculum (Leerlijntrekker ON).


I am an engaged leader, and have been active in many different national and international research and educational projects and I have published extensively in the fields of construction history, adaptive reuse and modern heritage. My research and teaching centres around the preservation and adaptive re-use of the built legacy of the 20th century, connecting the specialist disciplines. Intertwining Values, Design and Technology. I am an expert on the crossing between historical knowledge of modern building materials and strategies for conservation and re-use with a specific focus on natural stone and (precast) concrete.
