Bravoure scarcity beauty

About this book

The official publication on the Belgian contribution to the Biennale Architettura 2016 in Venice. It is a further elaboration of the work exhibited in the pavilion and a contribution to the architectural debate in Flanders and beyond. Comprised out of essays, interviews and images, this book offers an answer to the question what craftsmanship can mean today. The Flanders Architecture Institute commissioned the architects to develop an exhibition in the Belgian pavilion on the theme of 'craftsmanship'. The team, consisting of architecten de vylder vinck taillieu, doorzon interior architects, and architectural photographer and artist Filip Dujardin, explores the question of what craftsmanship can mean in conditions of scarcity. In order to demonstrate this, the pavilion exhibits fragments of thirteen representative projects of thirteen Flemish architects. Exhibition: Biennale Venice, Belgian Pavilion (28.05.-27.11.2016).
