PETER EUGEN - PORTFOLIO

Hi, I'm Petre. I'm a designer based in Rotterdam, working at Cityfoerster while also completing my Master's in Architecture at Fontys Academy of the Arts, Tilburg.

My journey into architecture evolved from a background in automotive design. Somewhere along the way, I learned that I care more about people walking than people driving.

Beyond practice, I have a growing passion for teaching and academic research. I occasionally guest lecture and teach, specializing in computational design. I’ve had the pleasure of guiding students through topics like Digital Fabrication and Space Syntax.
