the villers abbey visitor center is a global intervention of the largest abbey ruins in europe
binario architectes converted a former watermill and added a pathway to create a sequence along the visit
because the site has been crossed and split by a national road
the architectural intervention took into consideration both the landscape and the scenography fields
to try to reunite the full cistercian composition plan
the result is a complete sequence from the parking to the ruins
preparing the visitors for the exhibition spaces
with the new path, binario architectes linked the visitor centre to all areas of the site
the ground floor of the mill contains a shop and a reception area while the first floor features a large model of the abbey and a media room
the different spaces are connected by corten steel walkways
emerging from the mill and reaching the hill across the new footbridge
the route features floor panels with dates recording the history of the abbey until the garden
a footbridge crosses over the national road and finally leads down into the ruins
the range of new materials was chosen in order to strengthen the unity of the architectural
landscape and scenographic interventions on the total area of the site
it creates a strong visual link while enhancing the historic heritage
and solid wood—for the indoor and outdoor footbridges
the new bay windows filled with anodized aluminium screen

but whose existences are indelibly shaped by economic
He draws from his own experiences as a well-traveled Kenyan citizen to structure narratives around migratory identity
specifically as it pertains to Indian migration of East Africa during the 1890s—prior to Kenya’s independence in 1963—and its contemporary implications
Karmali is drawn to paper or “papers,” documents key to legitimizing travel between borders
the artist has literally used his own passport as a basis for this new
pulp-infused mesh screens and handmade paper sculptures
and textual details have been broken down and reconstituted as almost topographical
In interrogating paper’s material significance
Karmali utilizes papermaking—a process dealing in a filtration of sorts—as a tool to rethink notions of nationality
PAPER/work is presented in conjunction with 1:54 Contemporary African Art Fair
Karmali will be a Pioneer Works artist-in-residence in Fall 2017
Tahir Karmali received his Masters of Digital Photography from the School of Visual Arts
His work has been shown at Brassage Photographique

A James Stirling design for Stuttgart that some claim is the epitome of postmodernism, this building was built in a sensitive spot, next to the Alte Staatsgalerie, which it calls to softly with the use of warm sandstone and travertine while combining modernist and classical elements like vast, sloping, steel-ribbed windows, a rotunda for sky-viewing and brightly coloured metalwork and flooring.

Adrien Dumont de Chassart holes a 33-foot birdie putt at RBC Canadian
It was a decade ago, nine holes in the December chill at Belgium’s Royal Waterloo Country Club, but Adrien Dumont de Chassart remembers the day vividly.
That’s because it changed his life’s trajectory.
Dumont de Chassart, then 14, shared a round with Thomas Detry, then a college standout at the University of Illinois under head men’s golf coach Mike Small. The players’ parents knew each other and connected for the nine-hole round in December (typical high temperatures in the 40s F). Detry’s dad joined them at Royal Waterloo in Lasne, Belgium, a Brussels suburb not far from Dumont de Chassart’s hometown of Villers-la-Ville.
Not only did Detry rave about the Illinois program – putting the bug in the young teenager’s ear – but he later told Small to keep an eye out for Dumont de Chassart. Small followed through, recruiting Dumont de Chassart to play for the Fighting Illini.
“Since I was probably 12, I had always wanted to go (to the United States for college golf),” Dumont de Chassart said by phone earlier this week. “Once I started talking to Detry … I knew I wanted to go there (to Illinois). Once I had the opportunity to talk with Coach and get a chance to go there, I accepted it pretty quickly.”
Detry did warn Dumont de Chassart about the early wake-up times required for morning workouts, but that didn’t scare him off. He crossed the pond, bound for Champaign, Illinois, and is glad he did. He excelled for the Fighting Illini, finishing No. 3 on the 2023 PGA TOUR University Ranking to earn automatic Korn Ferry Tour membership. And upon winning the BMW Charity Pro-Am presented by TD SYNNEX in his first pro start he was #TOURBound.
Fast forward to this week, and TOUR rookie Dumont de Chassart is making his first John Deere Classic start at TPC Deere Run, just two-and-a-half hours from Champaign. And next month, Detry and Dumont de Chassart will represent Belgium at the Olympic Men’s Golf Competition at Le Golf National in Paris. They qualified as Belgium’s top two players on the Official World Golf Ranking.
(The Olympics field is comprised of the top two available players from each country until the 60-player field is filled. For countries with more than two players inside the world’s top 15, up to four are eligible.)
Dumont de Chassart is excited for the John Deere, just as he is eagerly anticipating his Olympics debut, representing the Belgian flag alongside Detry, who has been so instrumental in his career. Dumont de Chassart even has an eye on catching some tennis if he can get away. (He played competitive tennis as a junior until he realized all those topspin forehands were leading to huge hooks on the golf course, and he turned to golf full-time.)
As with college golf, Detry, 31, can tell Dumont de Chassart what to expect in Paris, having finished T16 at the Tokyo Olympics in 2021. Yes, their age difference prevented them from becoming teammates in Champaign, but they’ll be teammates at Le Golf National.
And it all started with nine holes back home in the winter chill.
“It was just really cool to have the opportunity to play with him and learn a little bit from him,” Dumont de Chassart said. “It’s going to be awesome. I know Detry has already played in one Olympics, so it will be good to learn from him a little bit.
“It’s going to be really exciting,” he added. “… It will be nice to be able to spend a week together and get that Belgian vibe in Paris going.”

Despite not having attracted as much media attention as other rising stars
Adrien Dumont de Chassart is one of the youngsters to keep an eye on in the world of golf
The Belgian has excelled at every stage of his career and no less is expected of him on the PGA Tour
His name began to resonate at the highest level of golf when he finished second in the Orange Bowl
The rest of his amateur career continued to be very successful
Among his wins were the 2017 Internationaux de France U18 - Trophee Carlhian
he won the AFG Grand Prix for the second consecutive year and then received a scholarship to play American collegiate golf with the University of Illinois
The Belgian's time in collegiate golf could not have been more successful
He won the 'Big Ten Player of The Year Award' three times
and was a finalist for the Jack Nicklaus and Fred Haskins Awards in 2023
Adrien Dumont de Chassart's professional career is just over six months old
as he turned pro in June 2023 after graduating from university
De Chassart also took this new stage of his career by storm
The Belgian finished third in the PGA Tour University ranking, which earned him his Korn Ferry Tour card
winning his first start as a professional by beating Josh Teater in a play-off at the BMW Charity Pro-Am presented by TD SYNNEX
De Chassart played only 11 tournaments in his debut season on the Korn Ferry Tour. In addition to his victory, he finished in five other top 10s and suffered only two cuts. This was enough for him to finish 11th on the tour's point list and earn his PGA Tour card for the 2024 season
Adrien Dumont de Chassart made his PGA Tour-sanctioned tournament debut in 2022 when he qualified for the US Open (where he was cut)
His debut as a full tour member was at the 2024 Sony Open in Hawaii
In both the Sony Open and The American Express, the 23-year-old didn't make it through the weekend. He made his first PGA Tour career cut at the 2024 Farmers Insurance Open
where he finished the first 36 holes with a score of -3 to make the cut on the number
