The work by André Jacqmain and Alelier de Genval, a architectural firm based in Brussels, is well known for its major urban master plans in the capital of Belgium, now the centre of European politics, and for the breadth and scope of the stylistic-aesthetic features of all its designs. Drawing on the legacy of modernism that had its roots here in Brussels, the firm, which can boast plenty of work abroad, for instance extensive accommodation facilities in holiday resorts, stands out for a philosophy of design projecting it beyond modernity in terms of technical know-how and stylistic elegance.
