The demand of the municipality of Herent for a new multi-purpose hall that can serve different functions was answered with an adaptable building that also strengthens the fabric of the village. The building for multifunctional centre Warot connects people, functions and places and integrates them into a more intuitive whole.
The building is situated on an existing sports campus that is surrounded by rural landscape and public facilities. “More space for less budget” became the priority; it was decided to strategically invest the available funds where most impact would be had: in the spatiality, adaptability and the structure.
This project aims to achieve a truly sustainable impact on the community for the long term. This implied increasing the complexity of the task by involving as many local actors as possible and seeking to do the most with the limited means available, assuring the building will remain meaningful for generations to come.
↪ How can we rethink traditional city planning and respond to the urgencies of the continuously evolving urban environment?
