    We would like to inform you that Our concept of our project of “Rehabilitation of the Blue Stone Quarry in Soignies” (BELGIUM) presented in 2006 to the International Competition-” Environmental Tectonics” – to the Architectural Association, Environment, Ecology and Sustainability Cluster- in London has been stolen by the famous Atkins company and presented as their own concept for the Songjang Hotel near Shanghai.
    As proof please consider our project which has been published in October 2006 in the Magazine “IDEES BLUES” .
