The European Commission and the Mies van der Rohe Foundation have chosen to give the Emergenging Architect Prize to the social housing in Schaerbeek, built by MSA, in momentary association with V +, within the framework of the district contract Navez-Portaels.

It is the first time since the creation of the Prize in 1988 that a Belgian office wins one of the two prize of the event. Baukunst and its Sport Center in Spa is the second Belgian project selected amongst the 40 finalists of the Prize 2017.

The opportunity for WBA to greet the talent of this French-speaking Belgian scene at the same time audacious, creative and implied socially, with the question of the user in the heart of the concerns.
