BIG AIR IN CHINA

Nicolas Godelet is a civil engineer architect graduated from the Catholic University of Louvain, 46 years old, originally from Condroz Namur and founder, in 2008, of the office “Gejian Architects & Engineers”. This versatile and humble genius of 46 years leads the only Belgian-owned architectural workshop registered in China, which recently enabled it to design Shougang’s “Big Air” ramp for the Beijing Winter Olympics!

LHCH had the pleasure of interviewing and filming Nicolas Godelet, in his studio, near Namur (south of Belgium). Fluent in Mandarin, he agreed to answer our questions in Chinese and in his native language, French. Starting from the city of Beijing, this great friend of China has thrown different bridges between Chinese and Western cultures, through certain symbolic aspects such as writing, space. It has thus made it easier for the public to project themselves into Chinese culture.
