After his studies in
Ghent, Juliaan Lampens began his architectural career in
Eke,
East Flanders. Although he started his career with more traditional architecture, Lampens' visit to
Expo 58 in
Brussels changed his architectural style to brutalism and concrete, much like the styles of
Le Corbusier and
Ludwig Mies van der Rohe. The most significant designs of Lampens included his personal house (built in 1960), the chapel of Our Blessed Lady of
Kerselare near
Oudenaarde (built in 1966), The Vandenhaute-Kiebooms House in
Zingem (built in 1967), The Van Wassenhove House in
Laethem-Saint-Martin (built from 1970–1974), the Eke Public Library (built in 1970), the House Derwael–Thienpont in
Gavere (built in 1973), the House Lampens-Dierick in Gavere (built in 1990), and the House Velghe in
Deinze (built in 2002). In 1974, Lampens began as a professor for the
Institut Saint-Luc in Ghent, and earned the title of Full Professor in 1985. Juliaan Lampens died on 6 November 2019 at the age of 93. ==References==
