FORTON KILLIAN
Graduated with a Master's degree in Architecture from UCL LOCI Brussels, I’ve been passionate about design and photography for as long as I can remember.
For over three years, I’ve been working as a project manager and designer at Spira, a Belgian company specializing in bespoke fabrication.
In parallel, I design and transform spaces for private clients, and I also carry out commissioned architectural photography.
I design spaces that don’t seek to impress, but to be felt. Through textures, proportions, and atmosphere, I shape an intimate form of architecture — one that is meant to move as much as to serve.
Each project is guided by a strong aesthetic vision and a rigorous technical approach.

“I seek to create spaces that cannot be explained, only felt. Places where every material, every light, every silence builds a presence.” Killian Forton

Bachelor and Master in Civil Engineering Architecture
Distinction
Studies in civil engineering and architecture enabling students to work at all scales of inhabited environments, integrating technical and cultural skills. Training in the "physical conditions" of construction and the "cultural conditions" of architecture, placing them at the intersection of these two disciplines. Preparation to meet the growing challenges of organizing inhabited spaces, combining rigor and responsibility. Emphasis on project culture, multiplying the scales of work and developing a reflective and inventive approach. Acquisition of a critical mind and synthetic thinking, approaching the architectural dimension in a comprehensive manner.

Saint-Luc, Brussels
Secondary Study - Space Art
Distinction
Transitional training preparing for graduate studies in fields related to architecture and three-dimensional art. General education programs applied to the field of art foster artistic sensitivity and creativity. Specific courses include the organization and representation of space, drawing, analysis of spatial forms, and three-dimensional creation, complemented by courses in art history and aesthetic analysis. A rigorous scientific training provides a solid introduction to the disciplines of architecture and design, while also serving as an excellent transition for those interested in art in general.
