I am Stef Dingen, an architect and independent researcher with a global education from The Berlage Center for Advanced Studies in Architecture and Urban Design, the TU Delft, the University of Cambridge and l’ensa Paris-Belleville. Having served as a lead designer at de Bijenkorf and Rademacher / de Vries Architects, my practical experience reflects a dedication to design excellence in a variety of different projects. My research exploring the representational quality of architecture and its connection to other modes of cultural expression has been published among others in the University of Utrecht’s Tijdschrift Article. Currently based in Rotterdam, I continue to pursue design and research opportunities, seeking to promote the cultural significance of architectural space through my work.
