A programme for everyone
Theme 2024
Through its 2024 cultural programme, Urban invites you to reflect on the theme materiality: Focusing on the materiality of the city, its materials, and their surroundings means studying, analyzing, and becoming aware of their presence, intrinsic characteristics, history, and often multifaceted—social and cultural—meanings, as well as their potential for more diverse and improved use in the future.
Echoing this reflection, MATERIAL ASSEMBLY, the theme chosen for archiweek, is an invitation to explore Brussels' architecture through its designers and craftsmen. The guided tours of projects and workshops will zoom in on the various hands coming together to shape the city, highlighting its rich material assembly.
The curatorial team: Dérive-esque
The archiweek curatorial team is composed of the Brussels-based practices esque and Dérive, focused on research and fostering dialogue among the many actors involved in shaping the city.
Opening night: Opening Assembly
Feel free to join us for the Opening Assembly on Thursday evening, October 10th , from 18:30 to 20:00! Invited speakers will share their experiences in a collective conversation with the attendees, facilitated by the curatorial team of “Dérive-esque”.
