Brussels-Based Architecture Firm CENTRAL Gains Recognition for Multi-Scale Urban Projects

CENTRAL, an architecture and urban planning firm established in Brussels in 2015, was founded by four partners with backgrounds in various Belgian and international architectural practices. The current leadership includes Radim Louda, Paul Mouchet, and Valentin Piret, who collectively guide the firm's exploration of architectural scales that blend different dimensions of the discipline. The practice has earned increasing attention for its systematic methodology addressing architecture, urban environments, and regional territories across multiple scales. Beyond project work, CENTRAL engages in cultural and academic activities, having contributed to international exhibitions such as the Venice Architecture Biennale, the Biennale of Architecture and Landscape of Ile-de-France, and other similar events. The firm's approach integrates diverse perspectives from its founders' experiences in offices like XDGA, BevkPerovič, B-architects, AUC, and V+, fostering a practice that navigates the intersections between architectural scales and urban contexts.
