The exhibition presents 22 interesting and talented design offices from which the founders graduated the past 20 years from one of the 6 schools of Architecture* in the Euregion Meuse-Rhine.
ROOTS aims to give an insight into the development process of these very different practices, their opportunities, working conditions and perspectives in the various countries.

An international panel of experts selected on 7 May 2010 the 22 designing offices for the ROOTS exhibition on the first floor of SCHUNCK* as well as the 6 offices for the lectures on 15 and 22 September (see Lectures).
