Jacques Dupuis in Brussels
The Périer-D’Ieteren Foundation has granted a subsidy for the publication of a book devoted to Jacques Dupuis, a major figure in twentieth-century Belgian architecture. Edited by Maurizio Cohen, the book, to be published in 2025 by the Fonds Mercator, will explore the architect’s rich relationship with Brussels, where he produced a number of emblematic works. The volume will highlight his interdisciplinary approach, combining architecture, design and decorative art, while drawing on previously unpublished archives and contributions from experts. By promoting a better understanding of his achievements, this project also aims to raise public awareness of the importance of preserving this unique heritage.
