Coordinated by the ICA and placed under the direction of Audrey Contesse, Inventories #4 highlights around a hundred spatial approaches taken to this transition that were carried out in Wallonia and Brussels, Belgium, and abroad, between 2020 and 2023. Experts in the fields of architecture, urban planning, landscape and sociology have examined these approaches 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.
In addition to these reflections, the volume features artist Aurélie William Levaux's humorous takes on our current living environment, and the manifesto co-signed by the members of the editorial committee as a first step towards a regenerative architectural approach to this territory.
The book, accompanied by the exhibition Towards a regenerative approach to architecture, was officially presented in Venice on May 17th.
An edition by the Architecture Unit, produced by the ICA and supported for export by Wallonia-Brussels Architectures (WBA).
