Art Museum, Antwerp
Contest - 2024
Description :
The new M HKA is designed as an open and accessible space, without thresholds or distances. It welcomes visitors at park level through a vast multipurpose hall, designed as a space for production, presentation, and gathering. The building acts as a porous infrastructure connecting the banks of the Scheldt to South Park, traversed by urban flows. Its base and tower composition offers a clear and flexible layout, allowing great freedom of use and scenography.
The Architect:
NoAarchitecten is a Brussels-based architecture practice founded in 1999 by Pieterjan Gijs and Korneel Van de Voorde, known for a precise and restrained approach focused on reuse, transformation and continuity of existing structures.
