Adrien Verschuere is the principal and founder of BAUKUNST, an internationally architecture practice established in 2010 in Brussels. The office is recognized for precise and adaptable architectural propositions developed in response to complex urban and infrastructural conditions.

Recent projects include Frame (2025), a flexible television and coworking facility, and Manufakture (2025), a mixed-use complex combining workshops, convertible parking infrastructure, and public swimming pools. Alongside new constructions, the office has developed a significant body of work dedicated to the transformation of large-scale existing buildings and infrastructures, including projects for the underground levels of La Défense and the public reception spaces of Opéra Bastille, both located in Paris.

The practice has received international recognition through nominations and distinctions including the European Union Prize for Contemporary Architecture – Mies van der Rohe Award, the European Prize for Urban Public Space, the Équerre d’Argent, and the Brussels Architecture Prize for Major Intervention.

From 2019 to 2024, Verschuere taught at École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne. He has lectured internationally at institutions including the Berlage Institute, Accademia di Architettura di Mendrisio, Kyoto Design Lab, Porto Academy, University of Tokyo, and ETH Zürich, as well as at public cultural institutions including Bozar (Brussels), COAC (Barcelona), the Pavillon de l’Arsenal (Paris) and the Barbican Centre (London).

In 2025, he was appointed Professor of Architecture at the University of Stuttgart, where his teaching and research explore how questions of time redefine the fundamentals of design through capable structures, climate variability, and material flows

Alongside its academic work, BAUKUNST has been the subject of several solo exhibitions, including Performance and Performativity at Bozar (2019), Baukunst at Solo Galerie in Paris (2020), Tendency and Fact at the Lisbon Architecture Triennale (2022), Incomplete Works at Architektur Galerie Berlin (2023), and Recent Works at et al., Brussels (2026). The office has also developed experimental and circular approaches to construction through the production of full-scale prototypes, including installations for the Versailles Architecture Biennale (2022) and the International Congress of Architecture in Barcelona (2026).

Monographic publications on the work of the office include Baukunst (König Books, 2019), Pensées (Cosa Mentale, 2021), 2G No. 95 (Walther & Franz König Verlag, 2025), In a way, it is also more primitive (Accattone, 2026), and FRAME (Walther & Franz König Verlag, 2026).
