Ivo de Jeu is an architect until recently working at .FABRIC as a designer-researcher on mapping regional strategies, new spatial policy for the Ministry of Infrastructure and the Environment, design research, urban planning, large-scale (social) housing proposals, a private residence and teaching the occasional workshop at the Amsterdam Academy of Architecture.

FRiCTIEStudio was established in 2010 shortly after graduation from the highly acclaimed Studio Border Conditions at the TU Delft and has since then taken on a wide range of projects; from small potential interventions in public space to research into self-sufficient prefab housing, a possible publication on different aspects of self-built structures and different competitions. The work of FRiCTIEStudio has thus far been exhibited in Rotterdam, Eindhoven, the UK and Poland.

After graduating from the HTS-Bouwkunde in Amsterdam, Ivo de Jeu landed an internship and subsequent employment at 2012Architecten in Rotterdam where he worked on a diverse range of projects but focused mostly on the WORM@VOC project: sheltering WORM, the Rotterdam-based Institute for Avantgardist Recreation, in a Dutch national VOC-monument. After its realization, he continued his education at the Technische Universiteit in Delft to obtain a Master’s degree in the field of Architecture. While studying he took the opportunity to live and work in New York and was an intern for half a year at Archi-Tectonics, the office of Winka Dubbeldam, working on architectural, high-rise and urban competitions, commissions and a private residence. After returning to Holland to the TU he started his graduation in the Studio Border Conditions, location Kyiv | Ukraine, with tutors Marc Schoonderbeek, Oscar Rommens and Raviv Ganchrow. The collaborative group research of the studio was not only published in the Architecture Annual, the yearbook of the Faculty of Architecture, but also part of the 4th International Architecture Biennale Rotterdam.
