Surreal, multilingual, and conceptual, Brussels perfectly embodies The Europeans through its ability to defy stereotypes and reinvent its business districts, Art Deco villas, and industrial buildings. Embracing a post-national localism, Brussels is a kind of European fiction—a city that continues to attract designers, architects, and curators drawn as much to its freedom as to its flexibility. After Berlin and Vienna, Brussels marks the third chapter of The Europeans, a series dedicated to new spatial and curatorial practices in European capitals. The series is conceived and produced by AHA, in collaboration with abc works.
