FORM FOLLOWS CULTURE: GRAPHIC DESIGNER LEADS MAJOR URBAN PLANNING PROJECT
04.03.2004 News
Brussels (Belgium) - Urban redevelopment does not start with architecture, but with the redevelopment and revitalisation of community identity. It starts with a respectful design process that reveals how the community sees itself and how it wants to be seen. It starts with a building consensus, not building buildings. Once this is understood, then the buildings can be designed to reflect the true community identity and aspirations. The right design process allows us to understand the long-term objectives and produce designs that will be here for generations.
