Description
This issue features Belgian architects Kersten Geers and David Van Severen, who formed OFFICE upon graduating in 2002 and are now based in Brussels. The duo is recognised for making compatible architectural practice, research, and teaching in a creative process that blurs the boundaries between practice and theory. From furniture design to urban planning, they exploit the potential of geometry, prioritising the simplicity of forms over gesture in their quest for spatial richness. This issue focuses on eight built works by OFFICE, but also includes features on the design competition for Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport, the ongoing construction of the Munch Museum in Oslo, and more.
