Soft Power. 10 annes de Bouwmeester maitre architecte a Bruxelles, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

Looking back on ten years and two mandates of Kristiaan Borret as Bouwmeester Maître Architecte (BMA) in Brussels cannot be limited to describing the bricks that have been laid. Working on and living in the city also underwent a remarkable transformation in the past decade. This publication explores the everyday realities and ways in which people live in these projects. The record of conversations between local and international designers, users, clients, and BMA staff during collective site visits deepens the confrontations between design and appropriation, vision and materialization. Moreover, through 20 guest contributors of local and international practitioners, it explores the present and future role of the BMA and its 'soft power' in creating conditions for urban quality.
