René Heyvaert

–
Triennale Kortrijk
For the 2024 Kortrijk Triennale (After Paradise), Heyvaert was featured with an exhibition titled “52 Works and Accessories from the Heyvaert Era.” This installation presented a selection of his drawings, models, and architectural objects, offering insight into his aesthetic vision and functional approach to architecture. The exhibition highlighted his commitment to humanist architecture, focused on harmony between people and their environment.
This retrospective fit perfectly with the theme of the Triennale, After Paradise, which explored contemporary challenges such as resource shortages, social tensions, and environmental pollution. Heyvaert’s work, through its thoughtful approach and refined aesthetics, invited visitors to reflect on how architecture can respond to the current and future challenges of society.
