Project Description
The new community center of Edegem (Belgium) is a multifunctional, flexible and open building which is entirely made of massive timber (CLT). It is harmoniously integrated with the existing monumental exhibition center Huis Hellemans and its garden. For the residents of Edegem it’s an open house that invites people to meet, work, enjoy, read and get inspired. The open spaces that are now used as a library can be programmed with flexibility over time consisting of old and new media. The building reinvents the small-town cultural center for the digital age as a curated Landscape of opportunities for inspiration and communication.
