Iwan Meurice (Etterbeek, 1924 - ?), architect, town planner and also a talented painter. An original and endearing personality with multiple activities (he even tried his hand at writing a detective novel), versatile in all that relates to visual expression (architecture but also painting, drawing, graphic design, typography...) and multidisciplinary.
After attending the Decroly School (named after the famous doctor and psycho-pedagogue, 1871-1932), he took architecture courses at the Academy of Fine Arts of the city of Brussels. In addition to his work as an architect, he was a professor at the CERIA in Brussels.
