Lecture: Leo Van Broeck
Prior to the award ceremony and exhibition of the 34th edition of the Euregional Architecture Prize, we are organising a number of lectures. On 10 October, we will start with Leo Van Broeck.
Leo Van Broeck
Leo Van Broeck obtained his degree in architectural engineering and a bachelor’s degree in philosophy at the KULeuven. For 25 years he was a guest lecturer in architectural and urban design at KULeuven (faculty of architecture and engineering), where he is now emeritus. He was founding partner (2007-2022) of the architectural office BOGDAN & VAN BROECK and Flemish Master Builder from 2016 until 2020. He founded City & Architecture in Leuven and was involved in the creation of the Flemish Architecture Institute (VAI) in Antwerp.
His main focus today lies on the human causes of the planetary ecosystem collapse, and the effect of our economy, our land use, on the destruction of habitats and biodiversity and on the way in which humans shape their spatial presence on earth. Currently, he is chairman of the Climate Experts Committee of the Brussels Region, member of the Quality Chamber of Architecture of the City of Cologne, member of the board of the Sonianforest Foundation and member of the Club of Rome.
