“Der Bau”, Brussels, Belgium [2015] _ Architects: OFFICE Kersten Geers David Van Severen _ Photos by Spyros Kaprinis [07.05.2023].
“Der Bau is the project for a villa on a large, secluded site in the periphery of Brussels. It replaces a mansion from the 1900’s, taking roughly its volume. As a ghost volume it offers only a set of relations; with the landscape, with the topography, and internally, mediated through the set of walls and overhanging floors. The base of the building, which is half submerged in the rising terrain, is formed by a compact grid of rooms, organised as an enfilade through central double doors. The grid is cut off to create open, niche-like spaces at the extremes of the plan, which are left mostly open towards to outside. On the top floor, the same plan is repeated, but whereas the basement floor is a traditional construction of brickwork and concrete flooring, the top one consists of massive timber panels.
These panels are structurally connected in order to create an extremely stiff, waffle-like structure, only supported by a handful of columns. This allows the intermediate floor to have an open floor plan, uniting kitchen, dining and living areas in a continuous meandering space. A set of five compact ‘boxes’, connected by sliding windows, contain auxiliary spaces and the connections to the other floors while functioning as structural supports. The glazed surfaces suspended between them can completely slide open to connect the living space directly to the landscape around it. As an ultimate gesture emphasising the private nature of the site, the most intimate spaces are pushed to the extremities of the plan, and are framed with large glass panels towards the landscape.”

“Sick Architecture” Exhibition, CIVA, Rue de l’Ermitage 55, 1050, Brussels, Belgium _ Conceived by Beatriz Colomina [guest curator, Princeton University], Silvia Franceschini [curator CIVA], Nikolaus Hirsch [artistic director CIVA] _ Assistant curator: Minne De Meyer Engelbeen [CIVA] _ Exhibition Architecture: OFFICE Kersten Geers David Van Severen & Richard Venlet _ 06.05.2022 - 28.08.2022 _ Photos by: Spyros Kaprinis [18.06.2022].
“Architecture and sickness are tightly intertwined. Architectural discourse always weaves itself through theories of body and brain, constructing the architect as a kind of doctor and the client as patient. Architecture has been portrayed as both a form of prevention and cure for thousands of years. With Sick Architecture, CIVA and guest curator Beatriz Colomina (Princeton University) highlight a topic that has shaped our lives since the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic.”
