- Bio (via ORCID)
- Willem Bekers is a postdoctoral researcher at Ghent University’s Department of Architecture and Urban Planning. His research operates at the intersection of construction history and digital humanities, focusing on architectural narratives and legacies of armed conflict, with a particular emphasis on the role of building practice. He is interested in leveraging digital methods and models to expand the depth and scope of analysis in these fields, using them to develop and visualise more layered historical narratives of construction processes.
