Vincent Holvoet

Vincent Holvoet was won over by one person to become an architect: Gilbert Decouvreur, teacher architectural initiation in the secondary department at the Sint-Lucas institute in Ghent. The way he gave a highly personal interpretation to his lessons, his lyrical and at the same time critical way of teaching architecture proved infectious. “Architecture is not something you have to see, but especially something you have to experience”, is one of his mottoes. This was spot-on the essence of what architecture means.

During and after his studies at the Sint-Lucas Institute in Ghent, Vincent Holvoet experiences a growing awareness that there is a need for a better understanding between tradition and modernity. The architectural firms where Holvoet gained experience were not randomly chosen. They were places where, for one thing, he learnt to understand and fathom the values of traditional architecture and architectural styles, for another, he became acquainted with new techniques, building methods and materials.
