NU architectuuratelier - Pluralism

NU architectuuratelier is the working platform for intense architecture and design research, led by Armand Eeckels and Halewijn Lievens. NU has the ambition to develop spatial, material and landscape interventions in strong interaction with the clients. NU aims at contributing in a qualitative way to our social, spatial and mental environment. With a large variety of realised and valued projects, the profound approach to architecture has resulted in a series of unique projects. NU strives for tactile, essential architecture by combining large and small scale projects, thus upgrading functional expectations to inspiration. The focus of the lecture in Prague is on pluralistic approach, hence the title : Pluralism

Within the framework of those „cells for the unwanted“ psychiatry became a scientific discipline.
