As a son of a contractor, the interest for the build environment began at a young age. What started as a part-time job in the construction company of his father, resulted in a student career in building engineering. After finishing his high school, Tom started at the ‘Avans Hogeschool ‘s-Hertogenbosch’. In the summer of 2009, he graduated as a Bachelor of Engineering with Architecture as specialisation. During the five years as a student of Building Engineering his interests in Architecture grew tremendously. At the end of the summer, he applied for the pre-master program at the Technical University of Delft. Begin 2010, he started as a Master student at the same university. The master program includes two design studios and a graduation studio. The first studio consisted of a hybrid residential building combined with storage in the port of Hamburg. The second studio ‘Theatres of Democracy’ was a design assignment to transform the Dutch House of Representatives. After successfully completing the master’s program, Tom started his graduation project in the Dwelling studio ‘At home in the city’. During the research ‘Learning from transformation, a study into industrial heritage, Tom decided to exchange the Dwelling studio for the RMIT studio (Renovation, Modification, Intervention and Transformation). After 18 months, Tom graduated with a unique sustainable project ‘Food for Thought, transformation of the Daniel Goedkoopschool’. In January 2014, Tom Rijvers graduated as an Architect at the Delft University of Technology.
