Curated by XDGA in collaboration with CIVA in Brussels, the exhibition reaches Rome after the first Belgian edition (2013) and a second instalment in Vilnius (2014). The projects on display range from the large scale of public spaces and buildings to single-family houses, from conceptual proposals to realized works where the built dimension comes to the foreground, witnessing the polyhedric capacity of one of Belgium’s most important architecture offices.

The models, which are shown together with videos and a selection of publications on the office’s work, exemplify with clarity De Geyter’s analytical attitude, which leads him to delve and research in depth on every context where he is called to design, in order to identify the hidden potential of each given urban situation. The complexity of a context thus becomes a springboard for urban transformation, where new layers of space, use and interactions are added.

By confronting the projects in a lay, non-ideological attitude lacking and stylistic prejudice, XDGA proposes a gamut of architectural reasoning characterized by conceptual transparency and rationality, capable of proposing a possible answer to the demands of the contemporary urban condition. The exhibition will be opened on February 18th at 17,30 by a lecture by Xaveer De Geyter.
