The project 192GOU has been nominated for the first Architecture Prize Flanders. The shortlist for this inaugural edition was compiled around the main theme “accessibility”. A jury selected twenty projects across five categories: living, caring, meeting, working, and learning. The nominations highlight the project as a whole, giving a central role to the user alongside the architect and client.

Alexia Menec, Charles-Hippolyte Chatelard, Giulia Caterina Verga, Kaat Volckaert, Manon Vanel, and Vittorio Degli Innocenti are joining Alessandro Pontara, Géry Leloutre, Hubert Lionnez, Jean Garcin, and Matthieu Delatte in a renewed cooperative.

We are very proud to announce that our team has won the competition for the renovation of the Gandhi towers 2 and 4 in Brussels. The project addresses Brussel’s current major urban issues, such as the transformation of post-war social housing buildings, combined with the revitalization of open and public spaces.

What does circular architecture look like in Brussels today?

Over the last two decades, reuse has become a central element of the city’s architectural agenda, adopted by both public and private stakeholders, and stimulated by the BMA. While circularity now occupies a prominent place, it nevertheless takes many forms: from the reuse of materials to the conservation of structures, not forgetting questions of the future adaptability of projects.

CIVA, KU Leuven and BMA put the transformation of social housing built in the XXth century on the agenda. In the coming months, a series of three debates with clients, architects and other actors from the field will tackle the challenges linked to renovation: changing buildings, changing contexts, changing tempo.
