From 1996 until 1998 Pierluigi Piu was back in Brussels, where he had been summoned by the architect Steven Beckers to collaborate on a project for the reconstruction and refurbishment of the ‘Berlaymont’ Palace, the historic seat of the Council of Ministers of the European Community, and so undertook - working together with a specially formed international equipe - the supervision and coordination of the aesthetic and formal language for the interior design of the entire building.
