*DEMOT

*DEMOT Affordable Housing Plan is a counter-competition for the transformation of the former European Commission buildings at Rue Demot in Brussels.

The irony is hard to ignore: these two modernist blocks currently house the Commission's Housing Taskforce, the very body meant to address Europe's housing crisis. Yet under current redevelopment plans, their conversion into housing will not deliver social housing and will not create any truly affordable homes.

*DEMOT called for alternative visions and received 52 proposals from 8 countries, rethinking financing, ownership, architecture and program to imagine how these buildings could truly become homes for people to live in. A chance for the European Union to live up to its values!

The opening will take place on 10 September during which the all 52 entries will be exhibited, the full jury report published, and the winners publicly announced. The opening will be followed by a three-day exhibition in our exhibition space et al., where all projects can be viewed.

We welcome you to discover the exhibition with a drink on Thursday 10 September at 7PM in our exhibition space et al. located at 137 Rue des Tanneurs, 1000 Brussels.
