KENGO KUMA
ATELIER PIERRE CULOT
Walloon Brabant BE
31.05.2026 - 2pm
Guided exhibition and studio visit + aperitif
We begin with a visit to the exhibition Kengo Kuma. Architecture in Dialogue at Fondation Folon. Kengo Kuma has built projects in more than fifty countries, with the Victoria and Albert Museum Dundee and the Saint-Denis Pleyel station Paris metro station among his recent highlights. Jean-Michel Folon also travelled the world through his visual art.
The common thread linking their artistic universes? An unwavering love for the human condition: the challenges of modern life and - above all - the hope for a more harmonious future. In a critical yet poetic way, Kengo Kuma questions the way we build, live, and think.
Especially for this Belgian exhibition, the Japanese architect conceived a new scenography. Models and sketches offer insight into the body of work of this Knight of the Order of Arts and Letters in France. A Dutch-speaking guide will lead us through the magnificent estate.
Afterwards, we head to Atelier Pierre Culot, where Joseph Culot carefully continues the story his father began with such passion. With great dedication, he is breathing new life into the oeuvre, including through collaborations with renowned designers such as Sophie Dries.
Not only the studio, but also the house and garden embody the spirit of Pierre Culot. The garden inspired him to work in a more sculptural way and to seek dialogue with the landscape. In this living laboratory, he experimented with art, craftsmanship, and nature, drawing inspiration in part from the Japanese Mingei movement. Fifteen years after his passing, his work and vision continue to grow in importance.
In this serene setting, DUDe warmly invites you to enjoy a relaxing aperitif.
