Accordingly, the project proposes that the representation of an architectural section on stage should no longer function merely as a static image of a space in the background of the performance, but instead become a dynamic process and the  central subject of the work. Rather than being conceived as a final section, Extended Cabin is imagined as architecture becoming a section—a form of ar... More

ArtA'A, library - academy - info point

The challenge in creating an art center for the municipality of Aalter consisted of transforming the existing shell spaces into an open, technically and acoustically effective building.
