OFFICE Kersten Geers David Van SeverenA+U 591

The first monographic issue dedicated to the work Kersten Geers and David Van Severen, whose Brussels-based studio was established in 2002. Since then, OFFICE has thoughtfully produced an iterative body of work that serves to both document the studio’s knowledge and function as open systems in the increasingly complex field of 21st-century architecture. The magazine features 25 projects that range from early spatial experiments in housing to recent, larger works that carry wider urban implications. Included are the Arvo Pärt Centre in Estonia and the Agriculture School in Belgium. An essay by Mark Lee and an interview with Geers and Van Severen round out the issue.
