On 27 March 2021, one of the leading figures of post-war Belgian architecture passed away. Constantin Brodzki was 96 years old and left behind a life rich in stories and remarkable achievements that have secured his place forever among Belgium’s cultural icons.

His long career spanned from his involvement in the construction of the United Nations headquarters in New York – his first significant experience – to the 1998 interior refurbishment of his most famous building, the headquarters of Cimenteries Belges Réunies (CBR), designed between 1967 and 1970.
