BOOK LAUNCH EVENT - The Architecture of Reuse in Brussels 📚 Last night,Cityforward hosted the launch of BMA latest book on the top floor of the iconic Trèves 74 building, a project we proudly helped revitalize. 📖 This publication highlights 14 remarkable projects that showcase reuse in architecture, an increasingly crucial concept in the capital's design philosophy over the past two decades. From repurposing materials to creating adaptable building structures, these projects illustrate the rising influence of circular design. 📲 In collaboration with RESPACE , we are excited about the upcoming uses of these spaces and their potential impact. Stay tuned for more information on this collaboration, to be shared soon via Whitewood and RESPACE platforms. #Whitewood #BookLaunch #BMA #Brussels #Trèves74 #Architecture #Sustainability BMA - Bouwmeester Maitre Architecte #Respace #TemporaryUse

#SiteUpdate: Looking better, panel by panel: an update from Project OXY. 🧱 We’ve reached a major milestone in the transformation of the OXY building in Brussels. With the installation of the first 20 stunning façade panels, this ambitious renovation project is truly taking shape. Under the expert management of Cordeel Belgium, and the skilled team at Kyotec Group, these panels not only enhance the building's aesthetics but also align with our commitment to sustainable construction. The façade features a refined copper sheet Inox finish and aluminium frames with a significant amount of recycled content. Designed to be 98% demountable, this approach paves the way for future circularity. 🙏🏻 We are thrilled to see this project taking shape and look forward to sharing more updates as we progress.
