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.
