'Design is typically about addition. Something is needed; design translates the need into a new shape.
Elimination is underestimated as a design strategy.
We propose to make elimination the essence of our Brussels / Citroen project.
Latent in the current overabundance of structures and spaces are the new institutions that could complete Brussel’s cultural repertoire. But the existing factory – designed for a linear process, not two identifyable entities – is too large, too repetitive and to undifferentiated to work.'
