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 A set of unpublished work documents including sketches, scale models, plans, and pictures is combined with a set of texts by AgwA’s partner Harold Fallon.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.
