‘Meet the Architects: Martin Rauch + BC architects & studies & materials’

A+ Architecture in Belgium and Bozar are pleased to invite you to the thematic double lecture 'Building with local materials', with Martin Rauch and BC architects & studies & materials. The lecture will take place on April 2, 2024, at a different location than usual: Auditorium 490 - Royal Museums of Fine Arts (Museumstraat 5, 1000 Brussels).

Originally from Austria, Martin Rauch always had a passion for using natural materials in his projects. Trained as a ceramist, he specialised in building with clay and founded his own studio Lehm Ton Erde in 1999. Since 2010, Martin Rauch has shared his expertise as honorary professor of the UNESCO Chair for 'Earthen Architecture'. He will present a number of emblematic projects, including his own house in Schlins, designed together with Roger Boltshauser.

Like Martin Rauch, the Brussels-based firm BC architects & studies & materials has been working since 2009 with an integrated approach covering all aspects of the building process, from design to research and the production of specific materials. BC will present the Woodstock project, a holiday home by a river in the Ardennes built entirely with local, natural materials and through innovative techniques.
