Profiel
Biography
Ate graduated from the Architecture Master at the University of Delft. In the graduation project, under mentorship of prof. ir. Rob Nijsse, he devloped a series of shell structures with glass as the primary loadbearing material.
Currently, Ate works at chair of Structural Design and Mechanics within the faculty of Architecture. As researcher he is part of the Glass Research Group (
link) where his focus is on the structural behaviour of glass load bearing components of bridges and buildings. Within the research group he specialises in FEM modeling of stress distribution in glass, detailing of glass connections and structural design with glass.
Ate also teaches the structural design component of the BSc course BK1TE2, the minor Bend & Break and mentors a small number of BT graduate students with a specific interest in structural glass design.
Projects
The Glass Swing: A joined effort of TU Delft, Schott en Ramlab to realise a demonstrator project for current research. The struts are pre-stressed glass bundels and the nodes are 3D printed in steel.

With Lennert van der Linden and Rob Nijsse.
The Glass Truss Bridge: As a partial realisation of an ongoing research to make a large span with dry-assembled cast glass components (
link) the glass truss bridge serves as a temporary acces bridge to the Green Village terrain on the Delft Campus. The diagonals in the truss are glass bundles and the connections are cast glass blocks (
