October 2022
From 15 until 23 October 2022, Urban will organise guided tours in contemporary buildings, open days at architecture offices, seminars, workshops, conferences and exhibitions in the Brussels Capital Region. All these events will be free and open to all.
A specific view on the current architectural production?
Urban invites BC architects & studies & materials to share with us their opinion on about twenty contemporary buildings in Brussels.
Join the Urban guides during the entire weekend on 22 and 23 October 2022, who will take you on a tour of these buildings and explain their particularities in French, Dutch or English.
In these times of climate crisis and resource scarcity, there is an urgent need to take a critical look at the use of materials in contemporary architecture. Many material extraction techniques and production processes are energy-intensive and polluting, and the construction sector is a huge contributor to the climate change we are now experiencing. New visions for the future are required and architecture has to come up with sustainable alternatives in order to help make a difference
Some of these firms will be opening their doors to the public on the evenings of Friday 21 as well as during the day on Saturday 22 and Sunday 23 October, giving you a chance to learn more about their flagship projects and the profession in general.
BC – short for Brussels Cooperation – is BC architects & studies & materials.
On the occasion of archiweek, A+ and Urban are organising a competition and are offering you a number of prizes!
During archiweek, Urban will also throw open the doors of recently completed buildings, some of which offer extraordinary panoramic views over the city. Come and wander around these spaces that have been opened up just for you!
Learn more about recent projects that are leading the move towards sustainability during the Sustainable Architecture Days organised as part of Archiweek!
