programme
In 2019 Bulk Architects received a Bouwmeester label for their research on robust open buildings as a key to a more resilient city. This resulted in the exhibition Construct, room for change (until 17 April at De Singel) and the book Ruimte voor verandering. Robuuste open gebouwen voor de toekomst that will be presented on 13 April at the University of Antwerp.

The research by BULK architects shows the value of robust open buildings that embrace excess and allow for flexible infill. With a curiosity for history and future possibilities, Room for Change. Robust Open Buildings for the Future makes a contribution to the rapprochement between architecture, structure and sustainability.

exhibition
How can architects, engineers, developers, contractors and governments contribute to the creation of long-term value? In Construct, BULK goes in search of tools for a changing practice. They have selected eleven different buildings in Flanders, Brussels and the Netherlands in which the structure can support changes in interpretation and use over time.
