The spectre of climate change and it’s social, economic and ecological implications haunts the world. The energy issue, drought, floods and other climate disasters are confronting us with challenges of governance and, more specifically, those of architecture and land use planning. To try to change the course of this situation, any spatial intervention on our environment, whatever its scale, must no longer leave the challenges of environmental, societal and economic unanswered, but incorporate the public, collective and private dimensions.
With this in mind, Wallonia-Brussels Architecture Inventories #4 highlights around a hundred spatial appraoches taken to this transition that were carried out in Wallonia and Brussels between 2020 and 2023. Experts in the fields of architecture, urban planning and sociology have examined these appraoches to identify a number of avenues for reflection following six themes: the new ruralism, frugality in construction methods, governance, re-appropriation, the role of open spaces and finally, changes in architectural practice that have accompanied the evolution of uses.
Alongside these reflecions, the volume features artist Aurélie William Levaux’s humorous takes on our current living environment, and the manifest co-signed by the members of the editorial committee as a first step towards a regenerative architectural approach to this territory.
