15th edition of Flanders Architectural Review
For the Flanders Architectural Review N°15, we invite architects, clients, urban planners, landscape architects and other spatial designers to submit their projects of exceptional architectural quality. This edition too will be an anthology and a moment of reflection on the richness and diversity of contemporary architectural production. The editors will work on the basis of the submitted projects and are looking forward to studying the spatial challenges, the surprising answers and the social position in your recent work.
Since its first edition in 1994, the Flanders Architectural Review has grown into a touchstone for the growing quality of architecture from this region. Within a now highly developed architectural scene, it holds recent production against the light of social, political and spatial changes. After all, architectural quality arises from a well-considered relationship to its context. On the scale of the project, this can be the urban, programmatic or socio-economic context of the design. But at a more general level, it is the broader context of social challenges with a spatial component, such as reuse, densification or mobility. The Architectural Review therefore aims to use good architecture to chart the relevant social position of designers and the wider architectural field.
