AD HOC BAROQUE

Marcel Raymaekers was a household name in much of Belgium from the 1970s to the 90s. For nearly 50 years, Raymaekers bought and restored thousands of tons of antique building components and reused them in hundreds of buildings of his own design. These elements, without exception impressive in their craftsmanship and materiality, were and still are a testimony to past material cultures and the staggering amountof buildings demolished in Belgium since the end of the Second World War.
