In addition to the As Found exhibition the Flanders Architecture Institute presents the book As Found. Experiments in Preservation. The book focuses on seven experimental approaches in preservation today: ensemble, void, reconfiguration, inside out, traces, mirror and nuance. These are explored through essays, realized projects and international references.
'Architecture in Flanders and Brussels demonstrates a unique position in dealing with the existing built environment. Although the experimental approaches vary according to the design methodologies, the interventions always show audacity, whether it is a medieval structure or a twentieth-century building.’
