His work takes a multidisciplinary approached and De Smedt has received International recognition for his designs as well as an array of awards. He received the Henning Larsen Prize in 2003 and the Eckersberg medal in 2005, the Maaskant Award in 2009 and the Prix Dejean in 2014 from the French Academy of Architecture.

"Scandinavian design has evolved in the past years from a veneration of the simple and pure lines of the classics, to something more fluid through its involvement of multicultural issues, political presence, and opportunist productive methods. Its outcome has become something more eclectic and colorful, while the consistency of the classics is still oddly maintained, as if it was genetic." - Julien De Smedt
