Bravoure Scarcity Beauty

The Flanders Architecture Institute (VAi) commissioned the BRAVOURE team to create an exhibition in the Belgian pavilion at the Biennale Architettura 2016 in Venice on the theme of 'craftsmanship'. The team, consisting of architecten de vylder vinck taillieu, doorzon interior architects, and architectural photographer and artist Filip Dujardin, explore the question of what craftsmanship can mean in a context of scarcity. In order to demonstrate this, BRAVOURE exhibits fragments of thirteen representative projects of thirteen Flemish architects.

This accompanying publication is a further elaboration of the work exhibited in the pavilion and a contribution to the architectural debate in Flanders and beyond. Comprised out of essays, interviews and images, this book offers an answer to the question what craftsmanship can mean today.
