About the Royale Belge \/ The Mix \u2013 Excerpt from the Caruso St John Architects website.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This commission was won in a competition organised by the City of Brussels. The design is a collaboration with Antwerp-based Bovenbouw Architectuur and was developed in partnership with Brussels-based DDS+ architects. Located in the south-east of Brussels, in a landscape of lakes and beech trees, the Royale Belge building is a fine example of 1960s corporate architecture. Designed by the renowned Belgian architect Ren\u00e9 Stapels in collaboration with architect Pierre Dufau, the building was completed in 1970 as the headquarters of the Royale Belge insurance company. Its cross-shaped tower and large two-storey podium contained offices, conference and training facilities for around a thousand of the company\u2019s staff. A landmark in Brussels\u2019 architectural landscape, both the 80,000 m2 building and its surrounding landscape received regional heritage protection in 2019. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The project won the European Heritage Europa Nostra Award.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

About the EU-funded project ARCH-E<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

ARCH-E\u2019<\/a>s main objective is to promote high-quality architectural solutions for the built environment by increasing the use of Architectural Design Competitions (ADC) in Europe and by helping architects overcome cross-border barriers, especially for small and\/or female-led practices. The amount of cross-border participation in ADCs is critically low. ARCH-E aims to create a more accessible ADC landscape that incorporates the core principles of New European Bauhaus, the Davos Declaration and Baukultur as defined by ACE. ARCH-E\u2019s consortium, reaching over 560,000 architects, is pursuing these goals through the means of research, practical support and political advocating. This website provides reports and other research results, online tools like the ARCH-E network, a ADC specific glossary, an ADC map and a ADC evaluation tool.

ARCH-E is a project co-funded by the European Union under the Creative Europe framework (CREA).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
