Dealing with urban transformation happens at the intersection of different decisions, practices and stakeholders. In these complex conditions, we set up design processes as learning environments, where design can become an instrument for productive uncertainty. We call this approach Design in Dialogue.

As a group, the people at 51N4E practise this daily. It is a collective effort to see design as a process that connects knowledge, combining personal engagement with radical openness to others.

    I moved to Brussels in 2006 to join 51N4E. Looking back at the projects I’ve been involved in, the broad scope of 51N4E is visible: buildings, objects, public spaces, publications, strategic frameworks, etc. I got to grow along with the office and help structure our hunch that architectural practice is about shaping the outcome as much as it is about the process to get there. I believe in the capacity of spatial design to weave relations, and in the responsibility of the designer to bridge different agendas from the tangible experience to systemic concerns. Next to projects, I’m currently busy setting up a new part of the company, Root, as a structural collaboration between 51N4E and Plant & Houtgoed.
