Le MICX prend place en 2015 dans un quartier en plein essor, à proximité immédiate de la future gare-passerelle conçue par Santiago Calatrava.Un quartier "trait d'union" qui, à travers la gare-passerelle, liaisonne le centrehistorique de Mons (Place Léopold en plein renouveau) à la ville nouvelle. Dans ce trait d’union le centre de congrès sera le voisin d’un hôtel 4*, d’immeubles de bureaux et denouvelleshabitations. Un quartier désormais directement relié au site des Grands Prés par un nouveau pont franchissant la Haine. L’inauguration du Centre de Congrès deMonsmarque la fin dela première réalisation architecturalestructurelled’envergure miseen œuvre dans le cadre deMons2015, Capitale européenne de la Culture. Dans quelques mois, ce sont cinq nouveaux musées et une salle dédiée à la musique, Arsonic ainsi qu’un centre d’entreprisesdesign qui seront inaugurés àMonsqui, selon les dires mêmes de Daniel Libeskind, sera «lecentre névralgique de demain». Centre névralgique qui pourra se targuer de comporter deux réalisations majeures conçues par des architectes de renommée internationale, Santiago Calatrava et Daniel Libeskind. Les mêmes qui oeuvrent actuellement au renouveau de Ground Zero à New-York!

Architecture Without Content is the first publication of five studio reports from workshops taught by Kersten Geers at Columbia University, Mendrisio Academy of Architecture, Graz University of Technology and EPFL Lausanne. Beginning as a study of ‘The Big Box’, a big industrial building that could contain many things, the Architecture Without Content studio develops the idea of a possible architecture of the perimeter, a pragmatic kind of architecture that remains radical and precise. Architecture Without Content is architecture reduced to its very perimeter. Only the economy of the envelope determines the success of the building. Its radical frugality does not make it less critical. Economy of means is the weapon of choice to express its ideology. Architecture Without Content finds its roots in the Big Box. Architecture Without Content is too big to ignore. Architecture Without Content started as a study of the big box. It ends as an exercise in form and classicism. The twelve issues collected here complete the full set of 33 incarnations of Architecture Without Content. Architecture Without Content was always interested in an architecture that is reduced to its perimeter. That has not changed. Architecture Without Content is difficult, troubled, realistic and conscious. It always tries to figure out where the project happens.

De komende jaren zullen in Nederland honderden basisscholen moeten worden verbouwd. De nood is hoog, want de visies en behoeftes veranderen voortdurend en er is veel achterstallig onderhoud. Voor de meeste schooldirecteuren, teamleden en schoolbesturen is dit een ingewikkelde opgave waarbij veel komt kijken. 'De scholenbouwatlas' biedt hulp bij het aanpassen van basisscholen en kindercentra. Opdrachtgevers kunnen zich via 'De Scholenbouwatlas' goed oriënteren en afvragen welke verbouwmogelijkheid het beste bij de ambitie past. Dit handboek geeft een overzicht van actuele verbouwopgaven en toont honderd inspirerende voorbeelden van verbouwingen in Nederland. Deze voorbeelden zijn aangedragen door het veld zelf: via een oproep aan scholen en gemeenten door nationale kenniscentra. 'De scholenbouwatlas' laat zien dat goed verbouwen, waarbij de opgave integraal wordt aangepakt, een slim alternatief is voor nieuwbouw.
