Architecture in turbulent times brings new responsibilities

Flanders Architecture Institute presents the latest Flanders Architectural Review: Responses in Responsibility.

In light of today’s societal and environmental challenges, it is clear that architecture is no longer just an aesthetic or functional discipline, but increasingly plays a role in shaping a more sustainable, more inclusive future. The latest Flanders Architectural Review, comprising 22 inspiring projects, 11 critical essays and 6 photo series, shows that caring, responsibility and collaboration are the core values of contemporary architecture.

Flanders Architectural Review N°16

Responses in Responsibility

available from 8 November 2024

The pressing challenges of our time mean that designers are facing new, less familiar areas of responsibility. They are required to negotiate their way through regulations, ecological commitment, building conventions and economic constraints. This Flanders Architectural Review shows how both designers and clients recurrently adopt a caring attitude when engaging with these challenges. This responsibility manifests itself in careful approaches to the renovation of existing structures, ecological innovations that go beyond the norm, participatory processes for collective housing, and the recognition of diversity in both society and the field of architecture.
