Flemish architect Xaveer De Geyter paid his dues as a collaborator of Rem Koolhaus and OMA. But his reknown comes from the spectacular design he created for a house in the Flemish town of Brasschaat and his revolutionary plans for the refurbishment of the Carrefour d'Europe in Brussels, both of which are presented here along with case studies and critical texts which situate his work inthe post-Koolhaus discourse of the generic city and the issue of globalization.
