Adaptive reuse is a central tactic for densification in Western European cities, and the Flanders region of Belgium has some impressive examples. I translated and edited the English texts for Architecture of Transformation in Flanders, a bilingual German-English book published by Detail in May 2024.
From the publisher’s website:
This book documents outstanding examples of adaptive reuse across the Flanders region of northern Belgium. It presents a portrait of Flanders’ amazingly vibrant adaptive architecture with 24 bold and pragmatic projects by De Vylder Vinck Taillieu, noAarchitecten, Blaf, Korteknie Stuhlmacher, Atelier Kempe Thill, Zaha Hadid and many other architectural studios.
