The unique expansion of the Frans Masereel Centre did not go unnoticed.
Project architect Eyukewe Nicolas Dogo explains in Plan 10 magazine.
The new 420 m2 pavilion is an extension of the existing domed building. The new building extends the Frans Masereel Centre into the open landscape to the south in interaction with the existing dome.
The Frans Masereel Centre, an artists' centre in Belgium recently opened a new 420 m² pavilion. Japanese Hideyuki Nakayama and Ido Avissar of Paris-based LIST created the design. Belgian architect-painter Jean Glibert provided the artistic interpretation. The new building is an extension of the existing dome designed by Lou Jansen in 1972.
The star-shaped new building at the Frans Masereel Centre in Kasterlee has been finished neatly within timing and budget. From March, resident artists, as well as schools, can move into the architectural feat. We already take a look inside. "Wherever you stand in 'the star', it looks different everywhere."
Frans Masereel Centre received an impressive conical roof.
