AV 227 September 2020 Kaan Architecten

Based in Rotterdam but running offices in São Paulo and Paris as well, KAAN Architecten was set up by Kees Kaan, Vincent Panhuysen, and Dikkie Scipio as a new professional venture after the 2014 closure of Claus en Kaan. Interested in the cross-fertilization of fields of knowledge while remaining committed to the essential principles of the architectural discipline, KAAN Architecten prides itself on an oeuvre that is as efficient in the functional as it is powerful in the formal. Arquitectura Viva is pleased to present the team's work through three projects: the Crematorium Siesegem in Aalst, the Chambre de Métiers et de l'Artisanat in Lille, and the Institute of Molecular Sciences in Paris.
