About me

Marcel Bilow is associate professor at the Faculty of Architecture and the Built Environment at Delft University of Technology, where he is the head of the Bucky Lab. The Bucky Lab at TU Delft combines architecture and building technology to design innovative and sustainable building products. This is achieved via computer aided design and modelling techniques, structural analysis, material sciences, technical research, and the unique prospect of 1-to-1 prototyping.

Billow has taught building construction and product design for more than 20 years. His hands-on approach in research and education—especially within the field of façades—experimental prototyping and production techniques makes him the go-to expert for connections, products, and the use of materials. Besides his academic activities he ran an office for façade engineering and is the co-author of more than 15 books.
