Brussels: A Manifesto Towards the Capital of Europe

"Brussels - a manifesto : towards the capital of Europe is based on the results of the second year advanced research studio 'Brussels Capital of Europe', organized at the Berlage Institute from September 2004 to July 2005, and coordinated by Pier Vittorio Aureli. Parallel to this publication, and in the framework of the fiftieth anniversary of the signing of the Treaty of Rome (the official start of the European project), the exhibition and the international symposium 'A vision for Brussels: imagining the capital of Europe' will be held in the Center for Fine Arts in Brussels, from 16 March to 20 May 2007. The publication, exhibition and symposium are an initiative of the Berlage Institute and are conceived and executed together with NAi Publishers, the Information Centre for Architecture, Town Planning and Design (Brussels) and the Centre for Fine Arts (Bozar, Brussels)."--Publisher.
