Gabrielle Kawa is a PhD researcher at the VUB Architectural Engineering. She obtained her master's of science degree in architectural engineering in the Bruface program (ULB-VUB) in 2021.

In her master thesis 'Design for Re-use guide: Reclaimed wood and brick in façade architecture', Gabrielle illustrates the design process of four (inter)national pioneering projects, and comes with practical insights for reuse integration in the design process. Today, she continues her research on the topic of 'Reimagining vacancy', investigating the opportunities of vacancy and temporary use for the circular built environment. She does this under the supervision of prof. dr. ir. arch. Waldo Galle and prof. dr. ir. arch. Niels De Temmerman.
