Philippe Vander Maren & Richard Venlet In Practice

In this book, Philippe Vander Maren, Richard Venlet and Pierre Chabard explore and explain the design process of House D through a series of unpublished work documents, such as sketches, scale models, series of annotated plans, collages and pictures. They retrace the collaboration with the client, the exchanges between the architect and the artist, the moments of discovery of essential features of the design, the similarities and dissonances with architectural precedents. This book was written following the In Practice conference in Liège, Galerie Opéra, on June 12th 2018. In Practice is an initiative of Harold Fallon (KU Leuven) and Benoît Vandenbulcke (ULiège). The book was double blind peer reviewed.
