This is what the renovated Braem Building looks like
"Opposite the rector's office, architect Braem placed murals of the Owl of Minerva as a symbol of wisdom. This serves as a daily reminder of the rector's duty to speak wisely and make decisions accordingly."
"From now on, everyone — including students — will have the opportunity to experience the building in their own way."
“Braem firmly believed that 'good' architecture could improve people's living conditions, thus making them happy”
"The higher your position, the more 'little windows' your office had in the rectorate building."
"The Braem Building is a primordial mother sculpture that is both habitable and reflects the values of the university. A 'sculpture habitée,' as the architect described it."
“Braem’s work, and specifically this Rectorate Building, has had a significant impact on Belgian architecture. Most importantly, on how it is experienced.”
"What makes my workplace extra special? I'm on the fifth floor, right next to the rector's office, with a view of the mural of the owl, the symbol of wisdom."
"It's as if Braem wanted to play a game with the observer, where you have to reach the core of the building to fully understand it."
