Architecture & Planning

KADERSTUDIO is an international architectural practice based in Brussels, founded as a partnership under a shared set of interests and objectives by Stijn Elsen and Simone Valerio.Kaderstudio opposes the idea of architecture as mere production of auto-referential objects. It rather establishes it as an open-ended strategy able to integrate the notions of transformation and adaptation within the project, its space and its time.Every assignment - from research to building – is premised upon an in-depth reading of the context, intended not simply as built environment but also as time stratification, which roots and extends its relations to its past and its future.With no regard to scale or program, all tasks are constantly evaluated and developed under a very critical mindset aiming to define and legitimate the project within its specific, given framework - or, in Dutch, KADER.
