Brussels capital of Europe ?
Brussels is a global, multicultural, cosmopolitan city; a hybrid city with about one million and six hundred thousand travelers in transit every day. We’ve realized through this journey that the majority of projects in Brussels undergo the influence of the European Community, adding a certain complexity to the urban planning of the city.
Trip in Belgium accompanied by Julien De Smedt to decrypt the complexity of the country and the ambiguities of the city of Brussels.
Dublin
Not afraid of the weather, Darrell (ODOS architects) guides us in discovering the city and its architecture. Following a passionate itinerary, through variety and unicity, we tried to soak up the very essence of this Ireland's new architectural culture.
The third "27" trip stops in Ireland. Check out the teaser.
Copenhagen
LAN visited Copenhagen last July. Inspired and entertained by Bjarke approach; he guides us through his understanding of cultural connections between the social realm and architecture. We talk about creativity, democracy, language, icons and market, as key components of what made possible the “Danish architectural Renaissance”.
Get a glimpse of Denmark’s sparkling capital through the pioneering personality of Bjarke Ingels.
27 is online
27 is a journey into the heart of contemporary European architecture, under a permanent state of mutation. 27 is a joint venture between a filmmaker, two architects and a graphic designer travelling together to meet people engaged in the process of making the Europe of tomorrow. 27 is a trip to 27 countries and 27 practices, all led by young architects recognized in their own country and abroad.
With 27 you can travel from one side of Europe to the other. Follow us along this journey and find all the details and reports from the project’s trips.
Barcelona
A 3-days trip under the auspices of the selected spanish architects for the project 27. We had the chance to explore the significant buildings of the city, to feel its energy and its culture. An informal but vibrant meeting which left us with the desire to go to Barozzi and Veiga new construction's site in Roa, recently completed, that we decided to visit some months later according to our busy schedules.
A foretaste of the images brought back from Spain. A report from a vigorous city that we had the chance to visit receiving special tips and specific architectural directions.
Side trip to Roa
Roa is located 200km off the northern region of Madrid, in the heart of the province of Burgos. We went there to visit EBV Estudio's headquarters of the “Ribera del Duero”, a famous Spanish wine. The building reflects the architects’ poetics while respecting the context.
A visit to the headquarters of the "Ribera del Duero", diving into Barozzi and Veiga's finished building.
