John Van Beurden

Born in Antwerp in 1880 and died in Deurne in 1967, John Van Beurden studied at the Royal Academy in Antwerp and practised as an architect from 1905. From 1920 to 1931 he was a partner of Jan Van Hoenacker and Jos Smolderen in an Antwerp office. He is credited with the Antwerp Diamond Exchange and the Century Center, the Art Deco grand hotel on De Keyserlei, built with Van Hoenacker.
