Wim Cuyvers (born 19 February 1958) is a contemporary Belgian architect living in Chatillon, France. Cuyvers is known for blending design projects, with a specific interest in private houses and schools, and study projects, a.o.
into the postwar condition of cities like Sarajevo and Prishtina and into informal uses at rest places along highways.
Wim Cuyvers quit architectural practice after having a highly successful career, with a solo exhibition at deSingel Art Centre in Antwerp (1995) and winning the prestigious culture award by the Flemish Government (2005).
In 2000 Cuyvers moved to the Jura in France to start a refuge project called Montavoix.
