[publication] Belgian architects in El croquis
Finally 2 belgian architects that got an El croquis devoted to their architecture.
1. Stephane Beel
As one of most important representatives of the so called 'still generation' of Flemish architects, the work of Stéphane Beel is typified through a subtle application of architecture within the existing surroundings. The evolution of his intriguing oeuvre is examined here in detail through 17 projects which include; the Roger RaveelMuseum in Machelen aan de Leie, the extension of de Singel in Antwerp, the Law Courts in Gent and the Museumsite in Leuven. Each project is clearly presented through large full page spreads, in-depth descriptions, plans and elevations
2. Xaveer De Geyter
Flemish architect Xaveer de Geyter founded his practice in the early nineties, after a ten year collaborative period with the Office of Metropolitan Architecture from Rem Koolhaas. While having only completed a modest number of projects, De Geyter has nevertheless managed to generate an international reputation for both unpretentious architecture and large scale urban projects. Here, sixteen projects are examined with the help of plans, models, texts and photographs including: the House near Antwerp, the Chassé Park Apartments in Breda, the buildings for the Ghent University and the competition entries for both the National Archives in Luxembourg and the 'Quartier des Halles' in Paris.
