Feminist Architecture Assembly (BE)

A day of exchange, imagination and inclusive practice

Brussels, Friday 28 November 2025

The spaces we design shape who belongs and who is left out. How can we transform architecture and spatial practice to reflect values of equality, care and solidarity? On Friday 28 November 2025, PAF (Platform for Architecture & Feminism) and L’architecture qui dégenre invite architects, designers, researchers, students and community builders to join the Feminist Architecture Assembly in Brussels. Through a keynote by Afaina de Jong, and a diverse programme of workshops, and guided tours, we will share experiences, tools and visions for more inclusive and caring ways of shaping space. The Assembly is an open meeting ground: from those deeply engaged in feminist practice to anyone curious to learn more. Together, we connect across generations, languages and disciplines, and work towards collective insights for feminist futures in architecture.

The day takes place at Site Lombard (ULB – Faculté d’Architecture La Cambre Horta) and Muntpunt Brussels, with an optional evening film screening.
