Dogma: Urban Villa

How can we live communally and make housing in an urban environment more affordable and attractive? The renowned architectural firm Dogma sees a solution in a time-honoured building type: the urban villa. The Flanders Architecture Institute (VAi) has invited the architects to reveal their research in an exhibition.

On 3 October architects Pier Vittorio Aureli and Martino Tattara (Dogma) will give a lecture in the Blue Hall of DE SINGEL in Antwerp about their research on the urban villa. Afterwards you can visit the exhibition and enjoy a drink.
