Alexis Van Vaerenbergh (sometimes documented as Alexandre Van Vaerenbergh) was a Belgian architect who became an essential figure in the interwar architectural transformation of Brussels. Less is documented about his individual early life compared to his counterpart, but he established himself as a master of geometric Art Deco and early modern structural engineering. Van Vaerenbergh was particularly renowned for his ability to translate bold, progressive architectural concepts into highly functional layouts. His expertise lay in managing spatial volume and maximised lighting, traits that became the defining characteristics of his joint projects. His exact date and place of death have not yet been established. From the end of the 1920s, until the begining of the 1950s he worked together with Léon Emmanuel Govaerts.
