BUREU: EU office buildings between architectural “hardware” and managerial “software”, 1950s-2000
1 June 2022 to 30 September 2026
BUREU aims to investigate how the interiors of EU office buildings (1950s-2000) affected the process of European integration on the level of everyday material and bureaucratic practices. Multidisciplinary in its approach, BUREU combines methods and insights from the fields of history, architecture and European integration studies. A transnational project, BUREU draws on the expertise of both the C²DH and the research group MoSa at the University of Leuven.
