The Rectorate building of the Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB) is more than concrete and glass. It stands as a symbol of progress, a masterpiece by modernist architect Renaat Braem, and a place where science, art, and architecture converge.
This iconic building comes to life in the book Braem – VUB: Temple of Sciences, thanks to contributions from art historian Jeanine Lambrecht, engineer-architect Charlotte Nys, and architect Erik Hendrickx, all of whom were involved in the building’s renovation.
This richly illustrated work takes you through the fascinating history of the Braem Building: from Braem’s idealistic vision to the challenges of its restoration. It highlights the sprawling murals in which Braem immortalized his worldview and his belief that architecture can be a tool for social change.
