ARTHUR LARSEN (°2002)
At eleven I picked up my first camera, photographing cars in my hometown of Oudenaarde. What began as a hobby soon grew into a lasting passion, resulting over the years in a varied portfolio and a keen eye for visual composition.
In parallel, I developed a strong interest in architecture. Studying at the faculty of engineering and architecture at Ghent University allowed me to combine a solid scientific training with a creative design culture. The programme shaped my way of thinking: rigorous in analysis, imaginative in design, and always attentive to context; from construction detail, to building, to city.
I aim to work in an international environment, where I can apply both my technical background and my design skills to meaningful architectural projects. Alongside this, I intend to continue developing photography as a complementary practice.
