Article on Open Call Schrijverswijk in A + 288. “The Housing Experiment” shows affordable individual housing as well as collective and social housing projects, in an urban, suburban or rural context.

Team CLUSTER + BULK + KARUUR + WIT wins the competition of masterplan Arena Deurne! AG Vespa organized a design competition for the redevelopment of the Arena district together with social housing company Woonhaven Antwerp and VMSW.

“Function/form/function – kindergarten & elementary school in Deurne, Belgium” Article on Kindergarten & elementary school Het Vliegertje on Építészfórum.hu (Hungarian).

“The team at BULK architecten has managed to strike a balance between the constraints of a clean, modern architectural language and the looseness and cosiness that comes with the given function. This might not seem as a huge undertaking, but such a successful implementation as Het Vliegertje is rarely found. Contemporary school architecture, driven frequently by modernist pastiche, often forgets exactly who it is designing for. Whether this results in aesthetically or conceptually pleasing buildings, it only exposes the misdirection of the designers.”

BULK + AVANTGARDEN win the competition to draw up a masterplan for the further development of residential care site De Ceder on behalf of the Municipality of Beersel. In collaboration with Stadim and Bureau Bouwtechniek, we also conduct research into the redevelopment of the brutalist residential care complex on the site.
