Vlaams Architectuurinstituut Flanders Architecture Institute

Flanders Architecture Institute is a centre for contemporary architecture. It is our aim to raise public awareness for the importance of a well-designed environment, to stimulate the public debate on the design of buildings and cities and to disseminate knowledge about architecture. Flanders Architecture Institute is the prime address for information on Flemish architecture and current developments in architectural policies in Flanders. As the main support organisation for architecture we offer a platform for everyone who wants to contribute to the development of the culture of architecture. We organize exhibitions, lectures, debates and architecture trips, produce publications and coordinate events, such as the production of the biennial Architectural Review Flanders and the Festival of Architecture. Furthermore the institute represents Flanders at international events such as the Architecture Biennale in Venice and collaborates with a network of architectural institutions in Europe and worldwide. Flanders Architecture Institute provides a home for the Centre for Flemish Architectural Archives (CVAa) which coordinates the acquisition of archives in the fields of architecture and interiors and supports the cooperation of the various archival institutions in Flanders.
