Simen Lambrecht

Simen Lambrecht (1993) graduated in 2017 as Master in Architecture from the KU Leuven. His master years were divided between studying in Belgium, Norway, and China. In between, he completed development projects with local communities in Guaranda, Ecuador and Addis Abeba, Ethiopia. From a young age, he loved to explore unknown territory in the comfort of his parents’ boundaries and was always looking for the next adventure to see what he hadn’t seen before. This ideal finally led Simen to architecture. The rich history, the need to travel to understand space while allowing him to profoundly change small pieces of the world through knowledge-sharing, compiled his passion during his master years in university. People are –or should be- the centre of architecture, how people move in relation to space became key to his understanding of architecture. At the end of 2019, Simen decided to concentrate on his photographic projects fulltime. He searches for stories that are on the edges of photojournalism, dealing with a range of topics such as regional identity, intimacy, and anthropology. His projects aim to tell nuanced and in-depth stories and show the beauty of mundanity.
