May was marked by the inauguration in Barcelona on 7 May of the new exhibition dedicated to the Mies van der Rohe Prize - EU Mies Award 2019. Entitled What's old, What's new, this exhibition presents the 40 projects shortlisted by the Jury. Among them, several projects designed by Belgian architects. The exhibition is visible until June 10th. It will then stop in Brussels (BOZAR) from September 12th.

On May 12, we launched the first European residence for architecture and comics. It is structured around a collaboration between two countries, two municipalities and two resident teams - one French and one French-speaking Belgian - sharing a different culture and spatial planning approaches. From June 22nd and for 3 weeks residents will be in Walcourt.

In addition, since the beginning of May, you can discover the work of CENTRAL office for architecture and urbanism - which, in collaboration with Maxime Delvaux, photographer, - is participating in the first edition of the Biennale d'architecture et de paysage d'Île-de-France with a research project on the industrial heritage of two cities, Paris and Brussels. Their starting point, the climatic metropolis as the paradigm for the next urban evolution, the question of production (materials, goods and energy) and the transformation of waste within the urban fabric. To be discovered until July 13th.

Finally, at the end of last month, we learned that the Binario Architects office, in collaboration with Pigeon Ochej Paysage and L'Escaut, was shortlisted with the Villers-la-Ville Visitors' Centre project for the European Award for Architectural Heritage Intervention.
