Hey there, my name is Emilie! I’m currently doing my masters in Urbanism. Since I moved from the Austrian Alps to Rotterdam, a city below sea-level, my interest in climate change and climate activism got stronger every day. Next to thinking about scenarios for the Netherlands in a +3m sea-level rise I love to explore the invisible parts of the city and its people. Especially the modernistic and hard-working harbour vibe of Rotterdam taught me to look beyond facades and discover the unseen and beautiful small bits of everyday life. 

Ciao! I'm Maja - an Architect, Student, Editor, Bartender, Delivery Girl, Skipper, Animator, Drawing Teacher and Climber, among other things. I was born in Poland, but for several years I haven't been there for more than two weeks. Usually you can find me either at work or in nature, following my strong conviction in building as well as living in unity with the environment. I laugh more than I do not, finding humour in nearly all situations. If I succeed at properly expressing myself, perhaps you'll find bits of my whimsical storytelling on the pages of Bnieuws. Until then!

Hello, my name is Saartje! I'm a Dutch student doing my bachelor's degree in Delft. As someone with a philosophical background, I want to underline the depth that exists in all we are given to learn and experience in architecture (and life). I aspire to be someone who brings out the radiance in everyone and everything around me. This might be physical in text, space, or craft, but it can also be mental in people, thoughts, or concepts, particularly when it comes to enhancing the coherence between human existence and the planet.

Hello, my name is Sem. My father introduced me to making, and my mother to understanding. This led to me being specifically interested in Architecture, but more generally in other sciences and artforms such as philosophy, film, music and painting. I hope to end up in a place where I can combine all these things, in order to make and understand.

Hi y’all, I’m Tuyen (Twin) and I’m Vietnamese. I finished my bachelor in the US and now I’m here, studying and riding my bike around Delft. A passion I have outside of architecture are pottery (love getting my hands dirty) and graphic design (quirky visuals is my vibe). Since I’m a curious and person, sometimes speaking about things alone is not enough, so I seek out writing to express my thoughts. I hope our issues will engage you in more exploration in life, design, and art. Catch me outside and inside the pages of Bnieuws!

Hi all! I’m Zuza. I grew up in Poland, found my passion in busy Hong Kong, became an adult and found love in cloudy London, and currently, I’m living my best retirement life in glorious Delft (not really retired yet, working on my archi masters)! My heart lies close to all dumpling, noodle and mapo tofu related topics. At the faculty, I will bore you about Chinese urban space transformation, but in life, my biggest dream is to start my own tea house with herbal drinks to cure people’s sadness, educate them about health and help our planet. Hope to see you there one day! Until we get there, let’s meet on the pages of bnieuws articles!
