Nadia Remmerswaal – Designer, Maker, Educator & Circular Building Enthusiast
Nadia Remmerswaal is a passionate designer and hands-on maker with a strong focus on sustainable architecture and circular construction. With a background in architecture from TU Delft, Nadia combines academic insight with a practical mindset, honed through years of experience in design-build studios and innovation-driven projects.
Now already 6 years with the Bucky Lab, Nadia brings energy, curiosity, and a deep commitment to material experimentation and responsible design. She has contributed to several prototyping workshops and enjoys translating complex architectural challenges into tangible, buildable solutions. Beside these she also brings her skills in academic education and the implementation of AI into the course.
Beyond the lab, Nadia has worked on circular design initiatives across the Netherlands, aiming to bridge the gap between theory and practice. Whether it’s rethinking building systems or leading student teams in hands-on explorations, Nadia is always driven by the question: how can we build better, smarter, and more sustainably?
Marcel Bilow – Dr. Bucky Lab, Inventor, Educator & Design Daredevil
Marcel Bilow, better known as Dr. Bucky Lab, is the driving force behind the Bucky Lab—a legendary design-build playground at TU Delft where ideas meet power tools and innovation gets hands-on. With a background in building technology and a fearless approach to prototyping, Marcel has turned Bucky Lab into a hub for experimental construction and creative engineering.
As an educator, Marcel is renowned for empowering students to dream big and build even bigger. His workshops are loud, practical, and unforgettable, often featuring full-scale prototypes, unconventional materials, and an infectious enthusiasm for making. Whether he's guiding a class through the safe use of a circular saw or pushing the boundaries of façade systems, Marcel brings unmatched energy and expertise to every challenge.
Outside the university, Dr. Bucky Lab collaborates with industry partners on research and development projects focused on sustainability, prefabrication, and user-centered design. He is a firm believer in learning by doing—and preferably doing it with style, a toolbox, and a strong cup of coffee.
While Nadia and Marcel forms the core team of the Bucky Lab course, they are also supported and joined by others to guide the students in the studio as also in the workshop.
