Office Kersten Geers David Van Severen was established in 2002 by Kersten Geers and David Van Severen and is located in Brussels. Their portfolio consists of large- and small-scale projects and studies, as well as several realizations. Office fights the widespread belief that architecture is a problem-solving exercise. In their projects, the current rhetoric of diagrammatic organization and ironic provocation is countered by a literal architecture that aims for a direct formal and spatial experience. In 2005 Office won the international competitions for a new administrative capital of South Korea and for a border crossing between the USA and Mexico. They represented Belgium on the Architecture Biennial in Venice in 2008. Currently they are working on the realization of two office buildings and a galleria in Kortrijk, a tunnel and park in Turnhout, and a villa in Ordos, China. Their solo-exhibition “Seven Rooms” in deSingel arts centre opened in March 2009.
