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 in April, the programme now extends across the four weekends of June. It highlights 12 projects nominated for the Brussels Architecture Prize (BAP), showcasing the architectural quality of Brussels. This renewed format results in an accessible, direct and participatory programme that anchors Urban more firmly within the urban landscape.
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.
THEME 2026: URBAN LANDSCAPES
In 2026, Urban explores the city through the theme Urban Landscape, inspired by the European Landscape Convention. The aim is 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.
