Archiweek

The archiweek is organised yearly by Urban in the Brussels Capital Region, and opens the doors of quality contemporary architecture for you. For a whole week, guided tours in contemporary buildings, open days at architecture offices, seminars, workshops, conferences and exhibitions in the Brussels Capital Region are offered for free and open to all. This year, the entire program presented during the archiweek will take place from 5 until 13 October 2024.

This year’s theme, Material Assembly, is an invitation to explore Brussels’ architecture through its makers and its craftspeople. During guided visits of projects and ateliers we zoom in on the different hands coming together in shaping the city, highlighting its rich assemblage of materiality.

The curatorial team welcomes you to explore and reflect on the narratives embedded in the very materials of today’s architecture. Looking into the future, the narrative shaped by our chosen materials becomes ever more critical. How can we ensure that the materials of tomorrow will tell new engaging stories of environmental resilience?
