The Berlage

LIST develops an approach that conciliates professional practice and research, which aims to position itself between disciplines (architecture,urbanism, landscape and planning) rather than within a set framework. This desire comes from the observation that today, many spatial and societal questions manifest themselves in various ways and on different scales. Tackling these issues and their interrelationships on diverse scales and in a cross-disciplinary way, constitutes a great asset and a fertile design framework for the office. The practice is therefore a close group of 3 to 5 architects and urbanists, who are regularly joined by specific and complementary competences. This arrangement provides the office with the flexibility and liveliness it needs to apprehend diverse issues the right way. Thus, our projects concern just as well territorial scales (Spatial Policy Plan of Flanders - BRV) as they do metropolitan scales (PAV- Carrefour de l'Etoile in Geneva; strategic study around the train station in Tourcoing); they are just as much architectural (Frans Masereel Art Centre in Flanders) as they are landscaped (Metropolitan Landscapes, Brussels), as prospective (IMR-iconographical) as they are operational(Sport Park, Genk).
