La construction est aujourd'hui considérée comme l'activité humaine la plus consommatrice de ressources. Il est largement reconnu que le secteur doit subir un changement majeur, mais les voies possibles restent insaisissables. L'exposition What's Already There présente six projets conçus par des agences d'architecture basées à Bruxelles, qui témoignent d'un engagement fort en faveur d'une utilisation responsable des ressources locales - qu'il s'agisse d'énergie solaire, de matériaux géo et biosourcés, d'éléments de construction récupérés ou de structures existantes - ainsi que du dynamisme et des compétences des clients, des utilisateurs, des travailleurs ou des pairs intéressés. L'exposition est organisée comme une collection d'histoires sur des éléments architecturaux spécifiques. C'est à partir de ces fragments qu'émerge une image plus large de la multitude de défis auxquels nous devons faire face aujourd'hui. Que ce soit en tant qu'architectes, clients, entrepreneurs, législateurs ou utilisateurs, nous sommes tous des acteurs d'un secteur critique - et plus largement les habitants d'un monde que nous devons traiter avec plus d'attention..

This books unfolds the design and realisation process of Verbiest, an architect's house and an artist's workshop in Molenbeek (Belgium) by Brussels- based architecture office AgwA with Maria Evelia Macal Guerra. A set of unpublished work documents including sketches, scale models, plans, and pictures is combined with a set of texts by AgwA's partner Harold Fallon. The theoretical position of a project at the heart of a practice can be sensed in these writings. Beyond the singularity of this remarkable project, the book demonstrates the critical relevance of construction, energy, and circularity in architecture theory and discourse. The book is supported by the KU Leuven Department of Architecture and has been double blind peer reviewed.

AgwA shows work in progress: execution as a verb. A collection of collected images. Without a necessary order or sequence. Enlarged and then zoomed in again. But moments that had to be visualised at that time. Perhaps merely to serve as witness. Perhaps ultimately as an unencumbered catalogue of which only this or that will really be understood later on. Or will even be used. AgwA makes work of work in progress: execution as a context. That all of those images are collected is not odd. Not odd in and of itself. As situated: the importance of the building site. But also not strange for AgwA itself. The work itself of AgwA. Increasingly the work situates the idea of what a building truly is. How it is made. Or rather, how it is actually made. Jan De VylderAgwA is a Brussels based architecture office. The projects of AgwA architects focus mainly on public infrastructures and buildings for collectivities in Belgium. Amongst these, reconversion projects in complex urban contexts are predominant. In these loaded surroundings, AgwA aims at clear spatial cuts which can be built in a very straightforward way. To achieve this, the internal resources of architecture are fundamental. Structures, construction materials, ample spatial systems and a precise contextual positioning are at the heart of their design strategies. Their architecture is simultaneously ordinary and exceptional.Photographs by AgwA, Filip Dujardin, Antoine Espinasseau, Delphine Mathy and Sévérin Malaud. Texts by Jan De Vylder (architects de vylder vinck taillieu, Ghent) and Tom Emerson (6a architects, London). AgwA partners : Benoît Burquel, Harold Fallon, Benoît Vandenbulcke.
