Brussels Based is an exhibition dedicated to architectural practices based in Brussels and founded over the last ten years. The exhibition aims to explore the wide range of architectural approaches within the city, offering insight into the ‘behind the scene’ operations of the invited practices. This exploration is approached from an analytical perspective, focusing on the collection and presentation of data.

Curated by Amor Immeuble, Marcello Carpino and Leander Venlet, the exhibition showcases 50 practices founded between 2014 and 2024, providing a representative view of the city’s current architectural landscape. These young practices, composed of both Belgian and international architects, work across a broad spectrum of disciplines: research, publications, furniture design, scenography and architecture, reflecting the dynamic and international nature of Brussels’ architectural scene. Such diversity makes Brussels one of the most attractive cities for architects among European capitals and a testing ground for the whole of Europe.

Junkopia Bricology is a symposium led by Alice Paris at Faculté d’architecture La Cambre-Horta in Brussels on 7 March 2025.
In an interview, the Japanese architect Osamu Ishiyama once described his job as that of an editor.. He explains that he makes little to no distinction in his approach between the distinct activities that occupy him. Whether it’s writing, drawing or making models, he says he doesn’t imagine shapes in his head, but starts from elements and materials at hand. The method remains the same: assemble and combine. The aim of this symposium is to examine, on the basis of specific examples, the figure of the ‘architect/editor’, recently explored and theorised by Sophie Dars and Carlo Menon.
Participants include Pierre Chabard, Thomas Daniell, Sophie Dars, Elodie Degavre, Lionel Devlieger, Michaël Ghyoot, Pauline Lefebvre, Caroline Maniaque, Carlo Menon and Norihito Nakatani.

The exhibition High Tech Low Tech stems from the consideration that any building designed according to the currently dominant architectural principles is ‘zombie’, non-living, as it is based on technologies and energies that will soon be exhausted or too costly for the planet. This zombie perspective invites us to reconsider the way we approach architecture, to ‘de-project’ it by reappropriating the tools of thinking and doing.
By taking technology out of the ghost of innovation, the exhibition looks at techniques that emerge from hybrid, localised, living cultures, based on knowledge and skills – between engineer and bricoleur – that are transferred and contaminated across disciplines and social groups. Neither high-tech nor low-tech, these experiments represent a sample of minoritarian but fertile approaches that can help us to rethink our relationship with the built environment and architectural practice.

‘This BK Talks will discuss the present and future of editorial practices in design, bringing to the table a group of renowned professionals from the publishing world, moderated by members of student-run magazine of the BK Faculty, BNieuws. In the realm of design journals and publications, the current pandemic seems to have just accelerated the ongoing shift towards a more networked approach to the profession. In this context, publishers, editors and critics have had to rethink their position, realising that traditional ideas of “dissemination” do not always correspond to ways in which we currently gather information. On the one hand, the rise of more decentralised ways of publishing gave prominence to popular online platforms, where designers are able to upload their own content. However, this format can also result in an indirect manipulation by other interests beyond design. While adapting to a present where we can easily search for new designs on the web, some widely-read publications have been prioritising alternative content: more politically engaged, multi-disciplinary and discursive. While strongly contributing to opening up architectural discourse in profound ways, this is also an approach that might fail to deliver clear messages and ideas on the subject of design, especially to the general public. Is it significant to disseminate architectural knowledge and criticism to a mainstream public? If so, are we disseminating criticism throughout the right channels? How will the current transformations in the production and reception of information affect the format, as well as the content, of design publications?’

The second edition of A PRINT, curated by Studio Nock, will take place at ArkDes, The Swedish Centre for Architecture and Design in Stockholm.
“A PRINT is a collection, an open archive and an exhibition of independent architecture publications and zines. The ambition is to promote and showcase alternative publications for innovative commentary and criticism on architecture. These publications are an important contribution to the architectural discourse, allowing for independent, mainly non-profit, editors to cover a broader range of topics than what is custom in conventional architectural magazines.”

Originally published in Accattone #1 with the title ‘1:1 Scale Models’, our conversation with Christiane Lange, Paul and Johannes Robbrecht on their 2013 project to reenact Mies van der Rohe’s Golf Club in Krefeld has been included in Robbrecht en Daem’s monograph An Architectural Anthology.

Accattone was invited to curate the first exhibition of the new Contemporary Architecture Department at the CIVA Foundation, Brussels.

Corporate Arcadia looks at what is usually disregarded by architecture culture: the corporate architecture of banking headquarters, office buildings and hotels that has mostly shaped the city of Brussels in the 1990s and early 2000s.
It does so with a twist:
1/ Armin Linke’s photographic work from inside the Corporate Arcadia reveals the hidden activities of fifteen institutions and at the same time ‘restores beauty to these invisible sites’, overlapping architecture, interior design and social functions.
2/ Magazine excerpts and videos offer thematic insights and counterpoints in the form of seven ‘double figures’, letting emerge multiple dimensions and critical knots.
3/ Models and documents retrieved on site or from the architects’ archives are called to perform as embodied figures on a stepped theatre of objects: if their position is static, the concepts they carry are mobile, open to interpretation and recombination.
