Antoine Van Erp
FACULTY, SCHOOL OF ARCHITECTURE
Antoine van Erp is a Dutch architect, designer, and maker with extensive experience in complex, international projects. After developing his expertise at studios including Heatherwick Studio (London), UNStudio (Amsterdam), and Powerhouse Company (Rotterdam), he founded Matter Makers to focus on matter as the starting point for design, combining a maker’s perspective with the social and sensory experience of a space.
His years working across diverse cultural landscapes have shaped Antoine into a collaborator with a unique perspective at the intersection of architecture and craft. With a focus on detail, he explores design concepts and translates them into physical form. Antoine’s work centers on creating spaces and objects that are future-proof, mindful about materials, and embedded in local culture.
He combines hands-on craftsmanship with theoretical understanding, sharing this approach with clients and collaborators. As a Lecturer in Advanced Architectural Design at the Academy of Art University in San Francisco, Antoine leads graduate studios where design concepts are explored through experiments in material, form and typology.
Antoine holds Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Architecture and Urban Cultures from the Technical University of Eindhoven and is a registered architect in the Netherlands (license 1.210913.003).
