Philippe Samyn
Sir Philippe Samyn (born 1 September 1948) is a Belgian architect, engineer and urbanist. He is the creator of over 686 projects, 250 of which are built. His architecture is characterized by a holistic approach, investigating new ways of construction focused on efficiency between the material, the shape, the function, and the energy needed in the making and functioning of the building.

His technological and structural research which are in favour of a durable use of m ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
