And they deserved it.

A few years ago I introduced these 'barcelonas' in #Brussels. Some people started calling them 'Strobbekes' 😂
Recently somebody asked me to put some on the "Royal Avenue" in Brussels. No worries... here they are! #BM #Maintain

Although I like this picture a lot, I've made a terrible mistake with this one !

I had it printed as a puzzle, it was a very difficult one. So much green !

It may have escaped your attention, but the Belgian energy system has quietly passed an important test. During the weekend of 4-5 October 2025, our consumption was almost entirely covered by renewable energy. And yet the system ticked like a Swiss watch. /

"If there is a frontline in the current battle against demolition it is Brussels. Faced with huge amounts of redundant industrial, infrastructural and office space, the city is pioneering circular architecture."

Adapt or die: the architects pioneering a new wave of building reuse

Roofkunst is het verrassende thema van een gloednieuwe videogame. In het spel Relooted krijgen spelers de opdracht om Afrikaanse artefacten terug te halen uit westerse musea. ‘Is het stelen om terug te nemen wat gestolen is?’, luidt de interessante vraag.
