René Bouman is one of the founding directors of Möhn + Bouman Architects. René’s approach to a project is to study the site conditions and requirements of an assignment intensely and to think deeply about the various elements he wished to achieve with his design. Following a Master from the Academy of Architecture in Rotterdam, René’s experience was enhanced and honed during the nineties working with/at UN Studio, Mecanoo and KCAP. During his studies René minored in urban design and became fascinated by the relations among architecture, environment, art and construction that are still key issues in his work. Teaching has formed an important role within the practice. Previously teaching at the Delft University of Technology, René is currently an external examiner at Oxford Brookes University in the UK and a teacher at the Academy of Architecture in Amsterdam.
