How can architecture contribute to society? By delivering projects that are tailor-made, and through designs that reveal a cultural and social purpose. The 118 projects in this edition of the Flanders Architectural Review give shape to this ambition. Together, they tell a story about the role of architecture within a complex European context.
Recent developments in architecture are covered in thirteen essays. Under four main headings – life, city, scale and form – they deal with contemporary issues regarding communal space, reuse and repurposing, the status of the public domain, and a visual language for large-scale interventions in the city. The quest for typological solutions and formal figures is also discussed. Photographic essays by leading architectural photographers provide an introduction to each theme.
