New video - Chapex

A subtle conversion by AgwA & architecten Jan de Vylder Inge Vinck

As part of its series of videos devoted to contemporary architecture in the Fédération Wallonie-Bruxelles, WBA is continuing its collaboration with the film's director Jonathan Ortegat. Through these vignettes, WBA highlights emblematic, meaningful projects by architects in the FWB that have been disseminated internationally.

This new video is devoted to the Chapex project, the result of a collaboration between architecten jan de vylder inge vinck et AgwA . The project involves the renovation of the exhibition halls, the relocation of offices, the creation of car parks and landscaping, and the creation of a conference centre, breathing new life into this emblematic building, The Palais des Expositions in Charleroi, integrating heritage preservation and modernity into the project. 

The video, directed by Jonathan Ortegat, captures the poetry of this discreet yet powerful transformation. For this project, he was surrounded by :

🎥 Armelle Fouat, camera assistant

✂️ Xavier Vincké for editing 

🎼 Loup Mormont for the original music

🎨 Jean Forest for the graphics

🎧 Jeanne Debarsy for the sound mix

🎞️ Lucien Keller for the colourimetry

Sur base des photos de Filip Dujardin.

This capsule is part of WBA's initiative to promote the architecture of the Wallonia-Brussels Federation beyond its borders, by highlighting strong and singular contemporary approaches.
 

🎥 The video is now available on vimeo Chapex
