Dinner
Brussels, Belgium
Julien De Smedt welcomed us to his Brussels apartment for a dinner with Barbara Vanderlinden, Walter Bettens and Goedele Desmet. The opportunity for a lively debate on the intricate identity of the country and the architectural context. Talents and opportunities are there, but the common feeling is that of a architecture void of depth, without risk, lucking of visionary projects.
