CEO and Architect, Tangram Architekten
Bart Mispelblom Beyer is co-founder and CEO of TANGRAM, an Amsterdam-based practice renowned for high-density, mixed-use architecture and sustainable urban design. Since its founding in 1990, TANGRAM has realized landmark projects such as Rhapsody in West and Crystal Court in Amsterdam, Cité and OurDomain in Rotterdam, and innovative healthcare housing concepts, including new models for dementia care. A hallmark of the firm is the deep integration of greenery as a structural element in, on, and around buildings.
Beyond practice, TANGRAM engages in research and debate on the future of the built environment. Studies and exhibitions such as MA-SSA (meaningful void), BALANS (dimensions of sustainability), and The City of the Future (the adaptive city) reflect this ongoing inquiry. In 2024, TANGRAM launched the traveling exhibition Of Immeasurable Importance – Artificial Intelligence and the Soft Values of Architecture, shown across the Netherlands.
Bart regularly lectures at universities and professional forums worldwide. He has been Visiting Professor of Architecture at Roger Williams University (RI, USA) and guest lecturer at the University of the District of Columbia. In the Netherlands, he collaborates closely with TU Delft on urban futures. His philosophy combines contextual awareness, social feasibility, and natural harmony to shape cities that are resilient, humane, and inspiring.
