Fundamental beliefs, philosophy and hopes of the office are expressed its name
Architecture is not a question of square meters or provision of services. It is first and foremost a political stance, a cultural act, a poem of centimeters, a social statement, a philosophical surprise, a desire for space, a source of dreams...
...And above all about more life, more passion, more attitude, more joy, more questions, more intensity, more assertions, more fantasies, more euphoria, more effervescence, more movement, more resistance, more instinct, more desires, more character, more will, more demands, more eagerness, more spirit, more sparkle, more freshness, more vivacity, more conviction, more pride, more generosity, more love, more temerity, more audacity, more delight, more playfulness, more infatuation, more challenge, more sensuality, more fascination and more inspiration.
The office was founded in the context of a research for a contra-proposition of re-valorization of the Junction of South and North Stations in Brussels (1998-1999). Our name comes from its inaugural slogan in 1954 “the junction south/north towards a greater well-being” because for us, with such a slogan, everything remains to be done.
