Brian Vargo

I worked with Gerjan on several competition teams. He is a great team member, a strong designer, and a hard-working professional. I highly recommend Gerjan's work.

Jouri Kanters

I worked together with Gerjan both during my graduation project and with the Europan 10 competition. His profound theoretical knowledge and his practical approach to architecture makes him a perfect partner to co-operate with.

      We face major transitions in urban conditions, energy and mobility. BRIGHT explores how these changes affect you. Our work offers directions where no go-to solutions exist yet. As designers we are experts in clarifying complexity. Analyses, precision planning and scenario development lead to prototypes and design strategies. We create integral perspectives for places that add value for all participants. We are deeply involved in these topics and don’t shy away from long-term commitments. BRIGHT is part of The Cloud Collective. Show less

      Haagse Bodem is een deeltjesversneller voor Haagse herbestemming, een praktische community die het ontwikkelen van oplossingen voor leegstand in Den Haag stimuleert. Daarom faciliteert Haagse Bodem een laagdrempelig platform als voedingsbodem voor partijen uit verschillende sectoren. Zowel digitaal als reallife. Natuurlijk zijn ontmoeten, inspireren en kennisdelen standaard onderdeel van onze werkwijze en activiteiten. Maar het versnellen van Haagse herbestemming is ons primaire doel. Een beetje praten, en vooral doen! Show less

    • Architectural intern
      • Nov 2006 - Jun 2007

      During this internship I have worked on several projects, including the New York Buddhist Church, a number of residences and a pool house. It has taught me a few things disregarded by our education as architects. Most of all, I have learned to value flexibility during the design and build process: Rarely will a design be executed as originally intended. Many questions will arise after the conception of a building. Their answers create real building, more beautiful and interesting than imaginable.
