archiweek becomes archiweekends
archiweek celebrates Brussels’ architectural richness, a city now recognized as one of Europe’s most inspiring architecture capitals.
This edition offers an opportunity to rethink the format and renew its ambition. Instead of being limited to a single week, the programme now extends across the four weekends of June. It highlights 12 projects nominated for the Brussels Architecture Prize 2025 (BAP), showcasing the architectural quality of Brussels.
Each archiweekend, one or two projects are opened to the public. To reach the widest possible audience, each guided tour is offered twice. The architects explain how their projects integrate into the everyday urban fabric and contribute to the identity of the neighbourhoods. The tours are led by the architects themselves, sometimes in the presence of the client, offering a direct insight into the genesis of the projects, the choices made, and their impact.

2026 under the sign of urban landscapes
In 2026, Urban explores the city through the theme of urban landscapes. Inspired by the European Landscape Convention (Council of Europe - Florence Convention - 2000), this theme aims to reveal Brussels’ landscapes as they are experienced on a daily basis: places where built and unbuilt environments meet, where architecture follows—and helps shape—the rhythm of the city. This theme invites us to look at the city with renewed attention, as a living landscape in which every intervention—large or small—adds a new layer to Brussels’ ongoing story.
The Brussels Architecture Prize (BAP)
It is precisely through this dialogue between built and unbuilt environments that the spatial quality of today's contemporary city is defined. For a city undergoing continuous transformation, highlighting the projects selected by the Brussels Architecture Prize (BAP) becomes a natural way to celebrate the milestones shaping its future. This biennial prize is an initiative of the Brussels-Capital Region that is implemented by Urban in co-production with A+ Architecture in Belgium. Launched in 2021, it honours remarkable architectural projects that contribute to the spatial quality of the Brussels-Capital Region. This prize rewards recent realisations by Belgian or foreign architects in Brussels and by Brussels offices in Flanders, Wallonia or abroad.
