How can we express the feelings we have at the passing of a dear friend, a talented architect – Philippe Samyn.
We will forever remember his unwavering support and infectious enthusiasm during the founding of Prisme Éditions in 1995.
His invaluable contributions to our publications and discussions have enriched our collections and enhanced our architectural projects like these illustrations coming from the book CHANGE (2004).
The special meeting he arranged with Benjamin Debacker and Joël Claisse was crucial to continuing the Claisse Architectures venture.
Now that he has joined his friend Joël Claisse, we would like to ask them to prepare an exceptional environment for us!
Get your pencils ready… You are free from constraints… But you have total creative freedom to imagine the new city of the future.
When we join you (not too soon…), we can celebrate once more with the book CHANGE 2 under the stars.
With our heartfelt thoughts to his partner and associate, Åsa Salvensen-Decorte, his family and his colleagues.
