Sander Bakker
Architect
'Urbanization brings complex challenges in which people are central. It is therefore not only an environmental issue but also a social one. This is something I am eager to engage with.'
Driven by my interest in the built environment and the spirit of the times behind it, my connection to architecture was quickly established. After completing my Master’s in Architecture, Urbanism & Building Sciences at TU Delft, I found my way to Paul de Ruiter Architects. Here, I primarily focus on large-scale, inner-city residential projects. The challenges involved in these projects are what I find most fascinating. With increasing urbanization, this is a very relevant topic for the future. Urbanization is a positive development, but it also brings complex issues. People are at the heart of it — as individuals intrinsically connected to their environment. Therefore, it is not only an environmental challenge but also a social one. At Paul de Ruiter Architects, I am in the right place to address these questions.
