Damn
DAMN° is an independent quarterly print magazine and digital platform that explores opinions on contemporary culture. It was founded in 2004 and has intimately witnessed the expansion of the discipline. So while design will always be its home-base, the magazine’s vision has expanded to include our belief that the broader contemporary narrative needs a cultural perspective which art, design and architecture bring. DAMNº’s editorial content moves beyond glossy hype and dry academic debate. It celebrates imagination and is unafraid to define links between what’s personal, political, economic, emotional, stylistic and social.

VRP
The Flemish Association for Spatial Planning & Planning (VRP) wants to disseminate the importance of sustainable spatial planning and urban design as widely as possible. We primarily focus on spatial planners, urban planners and local authorities from Flanders and Brussels. Because spatial planning has so many interfaces with various other domains (economy, architecture, energy, infrastructure, mobility …), we also explicitly target other sectors – in search of ‘win-wins’.
Design Museum Gent
Design is everywhere. Design Museum Gent makes you aware of the impact of design on your daily life. We show the responsibility of designers, manufacturers and users in this process with our extensive collection from the 15th century to the present. But we are more than just a museum. We are a place where people who love design can meet.
Today, the museum is building a new museum wing with extra space for workshops, lectures, events and a café.

Fall 2024 is the target date for the grand opening of the renovated museum.

In addition, the website and the book also function as a sample of circular materials and services – screened by experts! – and of companies that contribute to circular building in one way or another. In this way, Circubuild forms a link between designers on the one hand and manufacturers and service providers on the other. The product and company presentations are therefore an important part of the book and the website.
