About This Event
As part of his tenure as the John Portman Visiting Chair at the GSD, Adrien Verschuere will deliver a lecture, “Recent Work,” focusing on the most recent projects from his Brussels- and Lausanne-based office, BAUKUNST. The talk will explore architecture’s temporal dimension and its potential to address today’s challenges. The lecture follows a string of recent recognitions for the office, including the 2025 Brussels Architecture Award for Major Intervention, several nominations for the EU Mies Award, and a finalist placement, with Pierre-Antoine Gatier, in the ongoing competition to transform the Opéra Bastille in Paris. BAUKUNST’s work was also the subject of the 2026 monograph FRAME, and was presented earlier this year at the UIA World Congress of Architects in Barcelona.
