MULTIPLE's statement
Working collectivity in Brussels involves designing the ethics of architecture and urbanism in a dense super-diverse capital. Today’s challenges concern the city to make, remake, and preserve. Acting for commons and continuously evolving needs for social infrastructures require a frame, Multiple has taken the bet that ethics must shape our design.
While developing architectural styles, Multiple questions the stakes of the act of construction. We are convinced that construction design should value and incorporate at its core the impact on individuals, the timeless ethics, adapting to citizens’ lifestyles and needs regarding housing, working, education, productivity, care and leisure.
Architecture and urban design must produce a suitable envelope for society's continuous evolution and change how people perceive conservative spatial uses.

Abdelmajid Boulaioun
Abdelmajid’s eye has been trained through diverse courses over the years. He started his spatial education with a high school degree oriented towards Arts and Housing Structure in Saint-Luc, Brussels. Afterwards, finishing his architectural degree Saint-Luc Architecture (1996), he invested time studying urbanism in a post-graduate program at ISURU Brussels, Institut Supérieur d’Urbanisme et Rénovation Urbaine.
He joined SUM in 1996 and contributed to several large projects, including the masterplan development of Eilandje in Antwerp. 1998 marked a big turn when he founded ARJM architecture after winning the Boechout library in Antwerp.
