The Collection

The Flanders Architecture Institute manages a rich collection of more than 200 archives. Together, they tell the story of architecture in Flanders and Brussels, from the 19th century to today. You can consult the collection in our reading room or explore it on your own through our online database.

In the VAi Archive Hub, you can search the collection of the Flanders Architecture Institute. You will also find references to architecture, design, and construction archives preserved elsewhere, complemented by information on people, organizations, and events that have shaped the history of architecture, design, construction, and urban planning in Flanders and Brussels.
