In addition to her academic position in France, Patteeuw has been a visiting lecturer at the Harvard Study Abroad Program and is currently a visiting professor at the Catholic University Leuven and the EPFL Lausanne. Since 2008, she has been the academic editor of the international peer-reviewed journal OASE, Journal for Architecture. Her research focuses on postwar architecture history and theory from an environmental perspective. Together with Mathieu Berteloot, Véronique Patteeuw directs Studio Spolia, a pedagogical unit that explores the transformation of as-found situations. She regularly contributes to journals such as Matières, Architecture Theory Review, Les Cahiers de la Recherche Architecturale et Urbaine, and Log, and co-edited The Architect as Public Intellectual (2024), Authorship (2022), Modernities (2021), and Mediated Messages: Periodicals, Exhibitions and the Shaping of Postmodern Architecture (2018). In 2022, she co-curated the 10th International Architecture Biennale of Rotterdam and co-authored in 2024 it's book It’s About Time, The Architecture of Climate Change.
L’ÉQUIPE is a young Brussels-based office composed of four architect-designers-researchers: Aliki Loïzidis (architect), Maïlys Gangloff (designer and scenographer), Carla Frick-Cloupet, and Victoire Chancel (architects and researchers). Together, they consider the project as a reflective space, both for the architectural discipline and for society and its current challenges. Their office focuses its activity on welcoming publics within Brussels' cultural institutions and directs its reflection on how spaces can activate encounters and interactions. Their practice operates in both private and public contexts (bar-brasserie of Kanal Centre-Pompidou, scenography at Bozar), across various scales, ranging from interior design (Théâtre Océan Nord, Halles de Schaerbeek) to large-scale transformation projects (Petite-Île climbing gym).
