Created in 2007 as part of the Ministry of the Wallonia-Brussels Federation, the Architecture Unit has developed a publishing division to report on, among other things, the vitality of architectural creation in French-speaking Belgium, the wealth of 20th-century heritage in Wallonia, the diversity of artists working hand in hand with architects, its participation every four years in the Venice International Architecture Biennale, and its involvement in the development of architecture in Belgium, the diversity of artists working hand in hand with architects, its participation every four years in the Venice International Architecture Biennale and, more recently, the activities of the Institut culturel d'architecture Wallonie-Bruxelles.
In all, the fifty or so titles published are systematically commissioned from authors, photographers and graphic designers, most of whom are active in Wallonia and Brussels, illustrating the diversity of their artistic and cultural practice.

Founded in 1949, the Midis de la poésie is an association from Brussels which has, for more than sixty years, promoted literature and poetry, from the past as well as the present. The formula is simple and original: midday every Tuesday, from October to May, a specialist lecturer or writer develops a literary question in the perspective of general culture. To shine a light on their subject, actors read the texts of the tackled authors. Certain meetings offer conferences/shows. To ensure that its heritage continues to exist by (re)discovering past and recent conferences which have left a mark in history, the Midis de la poésie are developing a collection of essays with l’Arbre à paroles.

Bleu d'encre was, at first, a magazine created by Claude Donnay that focused on poetry and short stories. Its first number was issued on the 1999 summer solstice. Ever since, a new number is issued on every solstice. Between 2010 and 2015, a dozen staple-bound brochures were published and initiated a shift towards poetry collections publishing. Since 2015, Bleu d'encre publishes some three or four printed collections every year at the printing presses of the Amay's Maison de la poésie (house of poetry). The only editorial line that Bleu d'encre respects is the blue line of the horizon.

Le Frémok is an association founded in June 2002 by fusion of two publishing houses of alternative comics, Fréon (Belgique) and Amok (France). Their founders, all comic book authors themselves, share the same passion which drives them to confront the reconstruction of the ninth art.
Le Frémok has become, therefore, a platform which allows authors and volunteers to carry out the most extreme experiments in the field of graphic literature, breaking down the barriers between genres, mixing poetry and politics, world outlooks and visual art narratives, art outsider and philosophical mass, young people’s literature and comic books, contemporary art and demonic series.
Le Frémok still believes in the book, and explores and rejects the specifics of the methods of printing, to make books which blow apart the preconceived norms of production in the genre.

Saint-Bernard editions are concerned with spreading the Word to the largest number of souls, in order to contribute to the spirituality and catechism for all. This is aptly summed up by: all to Jesus by Mary. All of the works, of a spiritual order, are taken on by the printer, which guarantees the reader a complete harmony between the published contents and the teachings of the Church. Its aim is to help each person to find the path of God, through meditation, prayer, and examples seen in the life of the Virgin Mary and the Saints. It’s why the blessed Virgin Mary is evoked in the Church under the titles: solicitor, helper, carer and mediator.
