Bas Smets | Atmosphere 2019: Adaptation

Bas Smets has a background in landscape architecture, civil engineering and architecture. He founded his office in Brussels in 2007 and has since constructed projects in more than 12 countries with his team of 18 architects and landscape architects.
Starting from a precise reading of the existing land, his projects reveal a landscape, visible but yet unseen. These projects vary in scale from territorial visions to infrastructural landscapes, from large parks to private gardens, from city centres to film sets.
His realised projects include the large park of Thurn & Taxis in Brussels, the Himara Waterfront in Albania, the Sunken Garden and the Mandrake Hotel in London. A number of his large projects are under construction: the plaza of the new Trinity Tower in Paris and the Luma Arles centre for art, in a collaboration with Frank Gehry.
In 2018 he was awarded the Gold Medal for Urbanism and Public Space by the French Academy of Architecture.
