‎Situated in the historic Mont des Arts district, SQUARE is a shining new landmark in the centre of Brussels. Its taken vision, tenacity and years of hard work to transform the massive, run-down Palais des Congres into an inspirational international meeting centre for the 21st century. SQUARE is housed in an elegant, architecturally significant building originally constructed for the 1958 World Expo. Many of the original features, such as expansive murals by Belgian masters Paul Delvaux, Rene Magritte and Louis van Lint, have been carefully restored and renovated, and are now juxtaposed with contemporary design conceived by a team of leading European designers.

This is the story of a total makeover, in 150 spectacular photographs and with literary impressions by Caroline Lamarche, Annelies Verbeke and Christophe Deborsu. Of how an area steeped in the past will be shaping the future, of Brussels and the wider world. Met literaire bijdragen van Annelies Verbeke en Caroline Lamarche‎
