The intention is to approach this topic from an objective and almost scientific angle, to create an exhibition based not on architectural taste or personal preference but on the gathering and representation of collected data. In order to attain this objective perspective, the curators – in collaboration with the BMA – invited a large and diverse number of young practices that through their number give a representative view on Brussels’ architectural environment. All 50 invited practices were founded between 2014 and 2024 and represent a new generation of Brussels-based architects. The scope of young architects based in Brussels is varied: Belgian architects and international architects are almost equally present in a highly international work environment. The different practices focus on a wide variety of markets, covering everything from research and publications to furniture design, scenography and buildings.
