Movses Derkevorkian

Movses Der Kevorkian is an architect and urban planner based in Brussels. He is the founder of Sill and Sound architects. He got his MA in architecture from the Academie Libanaise des Beaux-Arts in Beirut, Lebanon, graduating with high honors; he subsequently studied Urban Planning and Urban Renovation at the University of St. Luc in Brussels, Belgium. He has more than 15 years of experience in the field of architecture, urban planning, renovation, and construction site management. Sill and Sound architects work on different scale projects from residential buildings to the redevelopment of listed sites and the renovation of listed buildings in the UNESCO world heritage zone in Brussels, to the conception of wastewater treatment plants in the Middle East and Africa. Sill and Sound’s work revolves around giving forth an individual product, which is based on case particularities. It departs from a critical, emotional as well as intellectual relationship with the social environment, space, and the material, aiming to consciously experiment the question of how to be contemporary while reserving a certain distance from the contemporariness.
