„In 2009, the position of bouwmeester maître architecte (BMA) was introduced in Brussels. The BMA is appointed by the government to stimulate spatial quality in urban development from an independent position. Being both “inside and outside the system” is key to the transversal role of the BMA. Today, urban governance needs to innovate with existing and new tools for city making. The soft power of the BMA embraces complexity, because that is what cities are like.“ – Kristiaan Borret

„Godine 2009. u Briselu je uvedena pozicija bouwmeester maître architecte (BMA). BMA je imenovan od strane vlade kako bi iz nezavisne pozicije podsticao prostorni kvalitet u urbanom razvoju. Ključno za transverzalnu ulogu BMA jeste to što istovremeno deluje i „unutar i izvan sistema“. Današnje urbano upravljanje mora da inovira korišćenjem postojećih i novih alata za kreiranje grada. Blaga moć BMA prihvata kompleksnost – jer gradovi upravo takvi i jesu.“- Kristiaan Borret
