This is the cover for the new book by @bulkarchitecten. It’s been almost 1,5 years in the making.
A lot of things have been changed along the way – certainly since there was an exhibition first that guided us towards new insights for the book design. The cover is a word play. The main title ‘room for change’ pushes the subtitle away while there is a shift happening as well on that second level. Room for air, for thoughts but also windows and entrances.

In 2019 Bulk architects received a Bouwmeester label for their research into robust open buildings as the key to a more resilient city. This resulted in the ‘Construct, room for change’ exhibition (until April 17 in @desingelartscentre) and the book 'Room for change. Robust open buildings for the future'.
Based on a curiosity about history and future possibilities, ‘Room for change. Robust open buildings for the future' contributes to the convergence between architecture, structure and sustainability.

The book is available from 13.04.2022. Pre-order possible. For the launch of the book, @stephengeoffreybates (Sergison Bates architects) and Koen Van Bockstal (Bulk architects / University of Antwerp) are invited by the Flanders Architecture Institute and the University of Antwerp for a double lecture. Check the site of @vlaams_architectuurinstituut for details.

Thanks @jasperponjee and @tupidus for the very nice collaboration!
