The bouwmeester master architect's mission is to stimulate the spatial quality of urban projects in Brussels from an independent position.

Tools

ORGANISE A COMPETITION

The design competition is BMA’s most important tool. Competitions put assignments for architecture, urban planning or public space on the market openly and push up the quality of the projects.

RESEARCH BY DESIGN

This tool, which exists at BMA since 2016, intervenes as early as possible in the design process and contributes in its own way to the quality of projects. The drawing is at the heart of Research by design.

ASKING FOR A DESIGN REVIEW 

The earlier the dialogue on the quality of a project is initiated, the more fruitful it will be. Indeed, asking the BMA for its opinion on the eve of a permit application does not allow for a calm discussion of the project.

LABEL

With the BMA Label, we help advance unsolicited proposals from citizens’ initiatives or from research and design practice, which is still in its early stages. Every year, BMA looks for three fresh ideas.
