HBAAT x V+: Collaborating across borders

For the start of the 2025 academic year, the WAAO - centre d'architecture et d'urbanisme is joining forces with Wallonie Bruxelles Architecture @wbarchitectures to showcase committed Franco-Belgian architectural collaboration! It's a way of raising cross-border issues around the design process, dialogue between French and Belgian project owners, and tackling the subjects of regulations, programming, uses and prioritisation of cultural, ecological and economic policies, etc.

On 27 February 2025, join us at @bazaar_stso St So from 6pm for an inspiring meeting with the HBAAT x V+ duo. The two agencies continue their cross-border collaboration, exploring different programmes, different territories, both urban and suburban, leading them to receive the Grand Prix D'Architecture binational from the magazine L'Architecture d'Aujourd'hui in 2021 with the delivery of the municipal cultural centre in Marcq-en-Baroeul.
