Yorik Van Havre is an architect with 14+ years of international practice who blends hands-on project delivery—from sketching and technical detailing to worksite management—with deep expertise in digital building tools and 3D parametric modeling. Based in Brussels, he leads freelance and principal roles at OpeningDesign.com and Uncreated while contributing as a long-standing back-end developer to the widely used open-source FreeCAD project, improving Draft, Arch and IFC interoperability. Passionate about low-cost, ecological and experimental architecture, he routinely explores recycling, alternative techniques and self-taught disciplines such as programming and linguistics to expand design possibilities. Equally at ease producing technical documentation, renderings and animations as he is refactoring code, Yorik brings a rare cross-disciplinary fluency that helps bridge design intent and computational workflows.
