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.

In the article S'ouvrir aux autres (*Opening Up to Others), written by architect and author Cécile Vandernoot, A+ magazine features the renovation project of the Monty, a former cinema that has been home to the TOF Théâtre company for the past twenty years

As part of the Brussels Architecture Prize, Cygnes - an intergenerational project developing co-housing for seniors and a kindercafé - has been nominated in the Small Intervention category. A+ magazine features the project in a special issue, with an article by architect Amélie Poirel.
