Abstract cubes or megalomaniac prestige projects of starchitects: extreme looking buildings always provoke discussion. And that is not surprising. Users of public space are confronted with buildings on a daily basis. So what we think is beautiful matters, but views on this tend to differ. After all, what is beauty? Can it be more than "a matter of taste"? And who decides what is beautiful architecture? Come and learn from architect Gus Tielens, philosopher Selby van Holthe and vlogging activist Ruben Hanssen about beauty and the aesthetic power over our space.
