Pim Brueren

Computational Designer, Architect & Developer

I turn complex design challenges into clear, buildable solutions using parametric design, digital fabrication, and automation.

Work Experience

Haskoning

2025 - Present

Computational Designer & Developer

  • Developed a feasibility algorithm for social housing projects, using standardized floor plan layouts to optimize strategies across form, floor space efficiency, and construction procedures. The toolset covered mass study visualization, cost calculations (CAPEX, OPEX, IRR), and performance evaluation including energy use, CO2 emissions, and daylight, all surfaced in a custom dashboard for clear communication with clients and stakeholders.
  • Worked on several software implementations and automations using Python, Grasshopper, TypeScript, and C#/C++.

Smitsvastgoedzorg

2022 - 2025

Digital projects specialist | AI & Automation

  • Developed an LLM tailored to answer tender questions using internal company data, contributing to a 4/4 success rate.
  • Improved workflows and automated processes, including optimization of construction planning procedures.

Plan Developer

2022 - 2024

  • Contributed to a social housing renovation plan in The Hague covering 152 homes, including permit-check coordination for split-corner units.
  • Produced drawing packages and visualizations for social housing projects to support communication with clients and contractors.

Studio YAA

2021 - 2022

Junior Architect

  • Worked on multiple small-scale housing projects in the Amsterdam region as a Junior Architect.

TU Delft CRE consultant

2020 - 2022

Data & Building Analyst

  • Consulted for TU Delft's CRE research group by analyzing campus-wide building data and developing energy simulation tools to determine the most suitable installation type for each building.

Studies

MSc Building Technology

2022 - 2024

TU Delft - Delft University of Technology

TO3DPGS - Topology Optimization for 3D-Printed Glass Structures.
This project was awarded with a 9.5 grade and an official publication.

MSc Architecture

2020 - 2022

TU Delft - Delft University of Technology

Designed a parametric retrofit strategy for post-war social housing using prefabrication and a Grasshopper + Archicad workflow.

BSc Architecture

2019 - 2022

TU Delft - Delft University of Technology

Built a strong foundation through studio projects focused on spatial composition, urban context, and clear architectural proposals.

BASc Building Technology

2018 - 2019

Avans - University of applied sciences

Completed the propaedeutic year and discovered I wanted to move from understanding construction to designing architecture, then transitioned to university education.

Skills

You can grab and throw them around.

Can you keep them grouped and in control?
