Introduction

BC architects is committed to regenerative and bioregional architecture. We design buildings that are deeply rooted in their environment and informed by material knowledge. Our projects respond to social dynamics and cultural contexts. They often emerge from hands-on processes that reconnect architecture with craftsmanship, local sourcing, and collaborative creation. Each project serves as a prototype for systemic transformation, a space to experiment, challenge norms, and rethink the architect's role. From sourcing local earth, fibers or timber to crafting elements on-site with communities and artisans, our practice is grounded in direct engagement with materials and people. Our sites become places of learning, collaboration, and shared authorship.

BC is BC architects & studies & materials. BC stands for Brussels Cooperation and points to how BC grew - embedded within place and people. We operate through 3 legal entities registered in Belgium: BC architects bv (architecture company), BC studies vzw (non-profit education laboratory), BC materials cv (material production cooperative). BC is a hybrid practice, designing and undertaking "acts of building" towards systemic change in the construction sector. We strive for bioregional, low-tech, circular, beautiful and inclusive design. We work with our minds and our hands, undertaking activities such as community organisation, material production, contracting, teaching, prototyping. We aim to impact positively on people's ideas and planet. We act on behalf of the generations after us.
