Mouton is active in designing structures and supporting structural studies, with a strong emphasis on architectural projects. The philosophy of the engineering office is that structure must be seen as a part of the architecture and – like architecture – has to be designed. Moreover, it is often the case that the structure is inseparable from the architecture and structure plays a prominent role in the perception of the design. The ambition is to develop – for every project again – a strong structural concept and – as doing so – to help shaping the design.
In the lecture Dubravka Sekulić focuses not only on what and why needs to change in architectural education in an effort to make a discipline more equitable, but also on how this change can happen.

MSA is a Brussels based office involved in many kinds of projects, from the design of public space to the elaboration of masterplan for larger territories.

A meandering walk following thoughts, sketches, projects and buildings will explore the affinity the architects have with literature, visual arts and politics.
At BC architects & studies we believe that, in order to have a positive impact on society through the discipline of architecture, we not only need to focus on the design of its infrastructure, but also on redesigning the process of generating infrastructure. We’ll need to experiment with the role that each member of a community plays in the act of building. For us, a narrow definition of the professional architect no longer suffices
