M.Arch, Princeton University School of Architecture; B.Sc. Engineering Architecture, KU Leuven, Belgium
Benjamin Vanmuysen rejoined the School of Architecture in the Fall 2026 as a Part-Time Instructor. From 2019 to 2020, he acted as the 2019-2020 Harry der Boghosian Fellow at Syracuse University.
Previously, Vanmuysen taught design studios and seminar courses at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Pratt Institute, Penn State University and Princeton University. He has practiced architecture in both Europe and the US for offices which include Diller Scofidio + Renfro and Reiser + Umemoto in New York City and the Office for Metropolitan Architecture in Rotterdam.
Oscillating between the disciplines of architecture, design and visual art, Vanmuysen’s work ranges in scale from fine art prints to spatial installations. His research investigates architectural representation as both a design tool and a cultural artifact. Through drawings, prints and hybrid digital-analog methods, his work examines how representational practices shape spatial thinking, mediate between concept and construction, and influence broader social and environmental narratives. Vanmuysen’s drawings and installations have been exhibited at the A+D Museum and WEDGE Gallery in Los Angeles, A83 Gallery in New York, Bethel Woods Center for the Arts and 2017 Seoul Biennale of Architecture and Urbanism in South Korea. His writing on architectural representation has been featured in PLAT Journal and The Cornell Journal of Architecture, amongst others. Currently, he’s contributing a chapter to the forthcoming book Drawing-Led Research in Architecture published by intellect books.
Vanmuysen obtained his M.Arch degree from Princeton University, studied at the Southern California Institute of Architecture in Los Angeles and received his B.Sc. in Engineering-Architecture from the KU Leuven in Belgium.
