 the bridge sparkles. The bridge

Curriculum Vitae
                                             Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Joris Smits, I was born in Amsterdam in 1968 and
                                             I live in Delft with my wife and two children. Over the past eighteen years I have worked as
                                             an architect, first at ‘Cie Architects’ and since 1997 as one of the leading architects at Royal
                                             Haskoning Architects in Amsterdam. As an architect, my career has been strongly influenced by
                                             my other expertise; civil engineering, and more precisely, structural design.

                                             From 1987 until 1994 I studied at the Technical University in Delft where I combined the studies
                                             of Civil Engineering and Architecture. I graduated in both in 1994 and thus became an architect
                                             as well as a civil engineer. I believe that it is my understanding of the way that structures work,
                                             the way that materials behave and my knowledge of the integral building process that has
                                             profoundly defined me as an architect.

                                             In the field I have been widely recognized as an architect-engineer due to the design of a wide
                                             range of bridges and other structural works. With my projects I have won prizes in Zaanstad,
                                             Assen, Leidschenveen, Amsterdam, Cambridge, Sneek, Bedum, Heerhugowaard and Dubai. Sus-
                                             tainable building is my special interest, both in bridge design and in the design of buildings.
                                             The Delft Design Composite Bridge, an ultra-lightweight modular bridge, is my latest accom-
                                             plishment in that field.

                                             The Genius Loci, the defining characteristic of the site, is the basis for all my designs. From this
                                             I draw the inspiration that makes each project unique. All my designs are rational yet expres-
                                             sive, and are defined by the interaction between man and his environment. In this manner
                                             I have designed over sixty of the finest bridges and buildings, half of which have now been
                                             constructed, a feat that I’m particularly proud of.

                                             I see it as my mission to bridge the gap that so often exists between architects, engineers and
                                             clients. After all, wasn’t it Vitruvius, the most famous architect from antiquity, who taught us
                                             that a structure can only be of truly lasting value if it respects the balance between aesthet-

                                             ics, structure and function? This adage is still very valid today and constitutes the crux to my
                                             professional work.

     You can see the Prince Bernhard Bridge from quite a distance.
     A beautiful, vigorous, audacious and yet sophisticated design.
        The bridge creates a new momentum and has become an
     iconic entity. The Prince Bernhard Bridge blends perfectly into
                      the industrial background of the Zaan region.

“   For me the design challenge for the new Juliana
                                             Bridge was a quest for balance. We were looking for
                                               a design that could connect past and present. The“
                                             result fits perfectly into the historical setting of the
                                             Zaanse Schans. Aesthetically speaking, this bridge is
                                                                                          a real gem.

  • 3. Curriculum Vitae Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Joris Smits, I was born in Amsterdam in 1968 and I live in Delft with my wife and two children. Over the past eighteen years I have worked as an architect, first at ‘Cie Architects’ and since 1997 as one of the leading architects at Royal Haskoning Architects in Amsterdam. As an architect, my career has been strongly influenced by my other expertise; civil engineering, and more precisely, structural design. From 1987 until 1994 I studied at the Technical University in Delft where I combined the studies of Civil Engineering and Architecture. I graduated in both in 1994 and thus became an architect as well as a civil engineer. I believe that it is my understanding of the way that structures work, the way that materials behave and my knowledge of the integral building process that has profoundly defined me as an architect. In the field I have been widely recognized as an architect-engineer due to the design of a wide range of bridges and other structural works. With my projects I have won prizes in Zaanstad, Assen, Leidschenveen, Amsterdam, Cambridge, Sneek, Bedum, Heerhugowaard and Dubai. Sus- tainable building is my special interest, both in bridge design and in the design of buildings. The Delft Design Composite Bridge, an ultra-lightweight modular bridge, is my latest accom- plishment in that field. The Genius Loci, the defining characteristic of the site, is the basis for all my designs. From this I draw the inspiration that makes each project unique. All my designs are rational yet expres- sive, and are defined by the interaction between man and his environment. In this manner I have designed over sixty of the finest bridges and buildings, half of which have now been constructed, a feat that I’m particularly proud of. I see it as my mission to bridge the gap that so often exists between architects, engineers and clients. After all, wasn’t it Vitruvius, the most famous architect from antiquity, who taught us that a structure can only be of truly lasting value if it respects the balance between aesthet- The Fly-over in Haarlem under construction ics, structure and function? This adage is still very valid today and constitutes the crux to my professional work. 3 >>

  • 23. For me the design challenge for the new Juliana Bridge was a quest for balance. We were looking for a design that could connect past and present. The“ result fits perfectly into the historical setting of the Zaanse Schans. Aesthetically speaking, this bridge is a real gem. © 2012 contact: Joris Smits, +31 (0)6 10 45 61 84 Elisabeth Post e-mail: j.smits@royalhaskoning.com high-commissioner provincie Noord-Holland
