Canal Front
"More than just a line of buildings with a similar architectural presentation, these creations by the Atelier d'Art Urbain represent a real wasteside frontage alongside the canal in Brussels (Belgium), a frontage which recalls not only the industrial architecture of the surrounding district but also the typically eclectic style to be found throughout Brussels." "This book traces their respective courses, and is prefaced by an interview with each of the four senior partners of the architectural practice."--BOOK JACKET.
