Lennert Loos is an Assistant Professor at the University of Leuven's Faculty of Architecture, specializing in architectural engineering with a focus on computational and parametric structural design. He concurrently works as a freelance software developer and structural designer at NEY + Partners. His academic career includes a PhD from Vrije Universiteit Brussel (2015–2019) and a Master's degree in Architectural Engineering (2013–2015). Research interests encompass structural form-finding, parametric design tools, bridge engineering, and sustainable construction methodologies. Notable projects include the Parkbrug in Antwerp (winner of the 2017 Footbridge Award), parametric scripting for road bridges in France, and bending-active gridshell structures during his PhD. He also develops academic tools like Academic Compass and NEY CODE for data visualization and project management. Teaching responsibilities include courses on structural design integration (Ontwerpen II), form-finding principles (Form and Force), and structural morphology (Structuur en morfologie). He supervises master's theses on footbridge design and advises doctoral research on generative structural systems. Professional affiliations include the Jonge Academie and roles on doctoral committees addressing architectural sustainability and urban development. Technical expertise spans structural analysis software (SOFiSTiK, SCIA Engineer), parametric modeling (Grasshopper3D), and web development (Node.js, PHP). His work bridges architectural innovation with computational efficiency, emphasizing collaboration between design and engineering disciplines.
