Brief description

Bogdan & Van Broeck Architects integrate the dynamics and energy of a young spirit with the reliability and knowledge of 25 plus years of experience. Determination, passion and integrity are the driving forces. Based in Brussels, we practice architecture and urban design with a globalized cultural perspective. The refusal to choose between body and soul, ratio and poetry, matter and spirit, allows instead a balance to be found between these polarities. Beginning with the importance of architectural quality, we focus not on the architecture itself, but on the added value it can create for its context and for the society. Our attitude in design is supported by an international focus, by a large scale of different disciplines and by a strong ecological awareness. Our team consists of people of different nationalities and with complementary skills; our collaborators do not only have a background in architecture and urban design, but also in social sciences, art, etc. When necessary for specific projects we team up with additional partners who bring in extra expertise. Next to that our office is functioning as a platform for interaction with partners in the field of photography, fashion, contemporary art and sustainability in a broad perspective.
