Leonie Martens (she/her) has been a designer and researcher at Architecture Workroom since September 2023. She is curious about architecture as a tool to make existing dynamics visible within social issues or to initiate new ones.

Driven by this interest, she bridges the gap between science and local knowledge in various landscape projects. She also enjoys participating in cartographic research to foster both knowledge sharing and dialogue using drawings and maps. 

Leonie obtained her master's degree in architecture from the University of Antwerp with the highest distinction. For her master's thesis, she, along with a fellow student, conducted action-oriented research into the vacancy in Boom’s commercial centre and formulated strategies for the municipality. For this research, she received the ‘Architecture and Environment’ award from Atelier Stadsbouwmeester Antwerp.
