De Stroom
2023

For the bachelor thesis, we had to design a community center with a theater hall for approximately
400 people. For this purpose, we were presented
with a plot on Bommelstraat in Ghent. This building
block was characterized by several schools, a
nursing home, and the Sint-Coletakerk. The plot is
currently occupied by a parking lot. The complexity
of the site thus became a “not in my backyard”
challenge.

The design process is a combination of three ambitions: flow, invitation, and identity, in conjunction with the Mercator Campus DVVT reference.
