We invite an international panel of speakers to address the most important themes in the book.
book launch
For this presentation, an international panel of speakers will discuss the challenges and opportunities that the Flanders Architectural Review touches upon. From a mix of universal issues to address and local particularities in terms of policy, building practice and architectural culture, some questions arise. What can be learnt from architecture from Flanders and Brussels, and what can it learn from abroad?
publication
Contemporary architecture is facing social upheavals that are harder than ever to ignore. The housing shortage, changing visions on education, the collective past, public space and new care needs – these issues are becoming more urgent by the day. The hesitant response to such crises puts the (international) success of architecture from Flanders and Brussels into perspective. Flanders Architectural Review N°15. Alliances with the Real showcases some of the most striking recent architecture in Flanders and Brussels and the surprising responses to the aforementioned challenges. Ten essays and two photo series provide critical reflection and hold a mirror up to the world of architecture. Alliances with the Real calls for social commitment and social entrepreneurship from all those who contribute to the (un)built environment.
