The exhibition presents an insight into the post-war oeuvre of the Belgian architect Léon Stynen. His brutalist designs, in which the human scale plays a crucial role, take centre stage. The curators reveal the richness of post-war architecture and highlight the importance of the modernist heritage for today’s urban development.
Opening | The Future of the Other Modern
The curators interpret Stynen’s oeuvre and a discussion takes place about the future of post-war modernism in Belgium and the United Kingdom.
