Like an author hiding behind pseudonyms, this Ghent-based firm renames itself with every shift of partners at the helm. In the chapter initiated by Jan De Vylder it maintained Inge Vynck and Jo Taillieu on board as associates, and now the first two continue a practice in which it is never easy to tell where exactly the role of one or the other begins and ends. Surnames are added to the label or removed, but the generic ‘architecten’ stays intact: neither the abstruse ‘office’ nor the vacuous ‘atelier,’ what endures is an understanding of design from the very essence of the profession, a deep love for detail, and the pursuit of beauty in imperfection.
