-'''Tilman-François Suys''' (in [[French language|French]]) or '''Tieleman Frans Suys''' (in [[Dutch language|Dutch]]) ([[July 1]] [[1783]] – [[July 22]] [[1864]]), was a Belgian architect who also worked in the [[Netherlands]].+

-Suys completed his architectural education in [[Paris]], where he studied under [[Charles Percier]] and won the [[Prix de Rome]] in 1812. During his stay in Rome he became a protégé of King [[William I of the Netherlands]] the new king of the Belgian and Dutch provinces unified in the [[United Kingdom of the Netherlands]]. In 1817 he settled in Amsterdam and worked as an architect for the Dutch Crown. In this periode his style clearly shows the marks of the [[Empire style]] created for [[Napoleon]] by his teacher [[Charles Percier]] and [[Pierre François Léonard Fontaine]]. +{{R from modification}}

-From 1825 onwards, Suys was employed on a series of royal commissions in [[Brussels]], a city that, together with [[The Hague]] in Holland had been given the title of capital of the new established kingdom. His projects in Brussels were more severely [[Neo-Classical]] in character. Important creations in Brussels include the great conservatory of the [[Jardin Botanique]] which is noted for its innovative use of iron and glass construction, and the [[Royal Palace of Belgium|Royal Palace]]. After the [[Belgian Revolution]] which established Belgium’s independence from the Netherlands, Suys remained in Brussels. He devoted himself mainly to the restoration of the new nation's historic monuments. Some of these projects, especially his [[Gothic Revival]] restorations, were not historically accurate, and were later harshly criticized. His renovation (started in 1832) of the medieval [[Castle of Bouchout]] at [[Meise]], near Brussels, included not only Gothic Revival additions but also the earliest example of [[Flemish Renaissance Revival]] interior architecture in Belgium. +
-A beautiful example of the monumental buildings he designed later in his career is the Italianate church of Saint-Joseph (1842–1849) on the Square Frère-Orban in Brussels. Suys continued to carry out commissions in the Netherlands after the revolution such as the Roman Catholic, Mozes and Aaron Church in Amsterdam built between 1831 and 1847.+

-From 1835 to 1861 Suys was a professor at the Académie des Beaux-Arts in Brussels, where he taught almost every important Belgian architect of the younger generation such as [[Hendrik Beyaert]], [[Joseph Poelaert]] and [[Alphonse Balat]]. Through his teaching he deeply influenced later Belgian architecture in both the [[Neo-classical]] and the eclectic or revivalist styles. +

-Tilman-François Suys was the father and teacher of [[Léon-Pierre Suys]] who would also play an important role as an architect and urban planner in 19th-century Belgium. +
