The competition included to arrange the Belgian pavilion for the Venice Biennale 2008 to present contemporary Belgian architecture.
 

The choice was to take it with humor and irony and to create a representative space of Belgium of «everyday» and setting up a folkloric scenography.
 

The visitor is welcomed into a entrance hall decorated in the «homegrown» style with old tiles, questionable taste tapestry and wanders from room to room to discover the Belgian territories.
 

The central room is furnished as a street facades with red brick and latticed windows that are printed and hung on a structure mettalique. Messaninne is also built and uses as exhibition space.
 

We find around «traditional» bar decorated with every kind of ornament and two other rooms that serve as appendices expression space («gold book» room) and projection space («cinema room»)for films showing the Belgian cinema.
