BO-RD – Launch
26/09/2026
A new chapter begins at BO–RD!
BO–RD is a 14,000m² industrial site on the edge of Brussels, dedicated to reuse, making and experimentation – initiated and operated by RotorDC. It brings together a heterogeneous mix of spaces, activities and users, somewhere between a salvage yard, workshops and storage spaces, offices, meeting, event spaces and a wild garden.
RotorDC, holder of a long-term lease granted by citydev.brussels for the Da Vinci site, is embarking on a major transformation project with the support of European FEDER/ERDF funding and Triodos. The project aims to create a unique place where material reuse, production, creative practices and economic activities coexist.
Join us for the official launch of BO–RD: discover the site, meet its residents and explore the project and its future.
Programme:
- Open studios as part of Brussels Design Week
- Collective exhibition curated by BO–RD residents
- Public discussion moderated by BMA
- Guided tours of the site and architectural project with La Générale – assemblée d’architectes
- Bar by Articule Café + DJ sets
