The past thirty years have been crucial for architecture in the Low Countries, north and south of the border between Belgian Flanders and the Netherlands. Although both parts have developed a very different architectural culture with very different histories, they nonetheless connect with each other and function in complementary ways.

Despite its differences, the selection of 65 projects presented in this book demonstrates a strong reciprocity between the architectural cultures of Flanders and the Netherlands, which in recent years seem to weave into each other more and more.

This publication accompanies the exhibition 'Maatwerk. Maβwerk. Architektur aus Flandern und den Niederlanden, Deutsches Architekturmeuseum' (DAM), Frankfurt am Main, 8 October 2016-10 February 2017. The exhibition is a co-production between DAM and VAi.
