Description
The Périer-D’Ieteren Foundation has awarded a grant to support the publication of a volume devoted to Jacques Dupuis, a major figure in twentieth-century Belgian architecture. Edited by Maurizio Cohen, this book explores the architect’s rich relationship with Brussels, where he completed several emblematic works. The volume highlights his interdisciplinary approach, combining architecture, design, and decorative arts, and draws on previously unpublished archival material as well as contributions by leading specialists. By promoting a better understanding of his work, the project also aims to raise public awareness of the importance of preserving this unique architectural heritage.
