Nick Krouwel Nick Krouwel Architecture & Building Sciences student MIT Boston - TU Delft [email protected] +1 (857) 277 3890 Is currently an exchange student at MIT Boston for his dual degree Architecture and Building Sciences at the University of Technology Delft. I am caught by a vision where art and technology does not limit us but rather enables us to turn surreal dreams into inhabitable sustainable space, to turn fiction into fact. The combination of advanced digital prefabrication techniques and traditional crafts, should allow us to solve our rising demands and a sustainable future.
