Neil Vandersteen
In this episode of our 'Inside the Archive' series, we talk to Neil Vandersteen, Senior Partner and Head of Modelshop at Foster + Partners.
Neil is Head of Modelmaking, overseeing all aspects of model design and production within three modelmaking workshops including Sketch Modelshop and the Rapid Prototyping facility. He joined the company in 1989 after honing his craft as a freelance modelmaker, working for a variety of design consultancies and modelmaking companies. Early in his career at the practice, Neil expanded and modernised the Modelshop and has continued to move it forward so it is now one of the most modern and technologically advanced internal modelmaking facilities within an architectural practice.
