In his essay in the 39th yearbook Architecture in the Netherlands, architect, Volume magazine editor-in-chief and yearbook co-editor Stephan Petermann describes the increasing uniformity of European architecture. In the themed issue that she edited for *A+*, architect Aurélie Hachez focuses on “the small, the precise, the careful: the constructive detail as a thought process and as a bearer of meaning, beauty, and craftsmanship.” In this event, Petermann and Hachez will talk to several architects who grew up in an increasingly connected Europe. Can they make a difference in their designs with their eye for detail?
For almost 40 years, *Architecture in the Netherlands* has provided an indispensable overview, with independent editors presenting unique projects completed in the previous year that describe developments in Dutch architecture. The Belgian architecture magazine *A+* shapes and fuels discourse on contemporary Belgian architecture, urban planning and landscape design, reflecting on the architect’s ever-changing role and responsibilities. This discussion has been organised in partnership with nai010 publishers and *A+*, as part of the Exchange in Practice programme.
