Let's make this birthday one to remember.

70 years old (Born on May 06, 1955)

Happy birthday, Wiel! Another year of drafting brilliant designs and boldly reshaping skylines—clearly age improves architectural genius as much as fine wine. From founding the exceptional Wiel Arets Architects to guiding future wonders from your esteemed seat at Illinois Institute of Technology, you’ve managed to sketch brilliance both in theory and practice.

Whether it's championing timeless elegance or showing us that minimalism has maximum impact—you've proved that creativity doesn't age; it simply refines its blueprint. Cheers on another lap around the sun filled with soaring structures and groundbreaking concepts ahead. May today measure up... perfectly precise yet wonderfully surprising!
