Soft Power

Since 2015 and until the end of this year 2024, Kristiaan Borret is the bouwmeester master architect. To conclude this mandate, they have presented a book, edited by Jan Denoo and Hedwig van der Linden, which looks back on a period when Brussels architecture received international recognition and the way in which the city was built changed. The book shows how the city is made and lived today, looking at the formal tools and informal practices that together make up the soft power of the BMA. Like urban life in Brussels, this book embraces complexity.

The book is distributed by Walther und Franz König, and can be found on their website or in your favourite bookshops.
