“My work relates to cultural and historic contexts as a source of meaning. I aim to create a sensual and intuitive architecture that corresponds to a natural language while evoking new, emerging sensations.”
Architect Prof. ir. Erick van Egeraat
With a portfolio that spans 35 years and multiple awarded works that cover over 32 countries in Europe and Asia, Erick van Egeraat is one of the World’s Leading Architects. Among his projects are The Rock office tower in Amsterdam, the Middlesbrough Institute of Modern Art, the Roskilde Incinerator Line 6, the Erasmus University College in Rotterdam, the ING Head Office in Hungary and the Leipzig University in Germany.
Known for formulating unique architectural solutions, Design Erick van Egeraat creates iconic identities which optimize property values while acknowledging the social, emotional and intellectual impacts on both their environment and users.
While Design formulates unique architectural solutions for each individual project, his basic principles remain flexibility, sensibility and sustainability at social, economic and environmental level. He works on projects ranging from entirely new buildings and Masterplans to interventions within historic structures.
Erick van Egeraat was lead into the office premises of BPS Planung in search of new chances to realize complicated architectural projects without any distortion of the initial intent and keep the given terms, quality and costs within set limits – something that traditional methods can’t cope with and thus resulting in a deep dissatisfaction of building designers.
The design concept of BPS Planung represents a fundamental rethinking of the construction process methodology: with the help of BIM technologies the building is erected not on the ground, but on the computer. The virtual object is a prototype of the future building, while the workflow on the construction site can be considered solely as the process of creating its exact copy. This approach allows architects and engineers to successfully obtain from the contractors the implementation of their construction intention to the full extent, just in time and within the estimated budget.
