Karel Van Riel

Karel Van Riel, born in Antwerp on 12 November 1906 and died in 1995, was an architect working in Antwerp. From about 1930 until the years of the Second World War he was in partnership with the architect Maurice Janssens. The office concentrated on the apartment building, in the Art Deco style: the Drezner block (1931) in Nerviërsstraat, the Demaerel building (1935), Central Park Residence (1935), the block at Mozartstraat 20-22 (1936) and the Schepens building (1936). From the 1950s Van Riel concentrated mainly on large hospital and industrial projects.
