Narrating Proap’s extensive work, through 18 built works and 9 projects is a hard, but interesting and revealing task. Given the considerable number of built works and projects carried out over the last 20 years, the criteria employed in this election were extensive. On one hand, we wanted to present the latest and most emblematic projects and, on the other hand, we wanted to reveal different scales and interventions types, however, undoubtedly, what we most  arduously endeavoured, in this publication, was to narrate and illustrate a story; the story of each project and each intervention.

PROAP, forming a team with the Spanish ateliers id-OPERA and BET FIGUERAS, won the International Ideas Competition for the design of the Urban Park of Valdebebas in Madrid, Spain.

In 2006, PROAP won the International Competition for the design of the Master Plan for the Scheldt Quays in Antwerp (Belgium), together with WIT Architecten (Belgium) and D-Recta (Italy). This weekend, PROAP presented the draft version of the Master Plan to the people of Antwerp on the International Symposium «The Days of the Quays».

From the 19^th to the 21^st of March 2009, the city of Antwerp and Waterwegen en Zeekanaal (W&Z) organized an International Symposium for professionals, community based organizations and the inhabitants of Antwerp, where the first plans of the Master Plan were presented and discussed. The symposium is part of a whole participation and information process to involve Antwerp’s inhabitants in the reconstruction of the Scheldt Quays. Together with the symposium, the city of Antwerp opened the exposition KAAILAND Expo, an exhibition about the past, today and the future of the Quays.
