On 28 November, Kanal-Centre Pompidou in Brussels will open its doors. Behind the transformation of the former Citroën garage lies a particularly complex construction process, involving collaboration between several architects, contractors and other stakeholders.
As a partner of Atelier Kanal Architects, Bureau Bouwtechniek is responsible for construction process support in the field of architecture. And that goes far beyond simply chairing site meetings.
The intensive collaboration since 2021 has now resulted in 217 site meetings, 184 team meetings, 119 partner meetings, 51 steering group meetings and 31 client consultations.
This coordination requires a structured approach: from organising meetings and addressing technical issues to continuously aligning the schedule and ensuring that the right decisions can be taken at the appropriate level.
In this way, we support Atelier Kanal (noAarchitecten, Sergison Bates Architects and EM2N) in translating their architectural ambitions into reality. At the same time, we are ensuring coherence between on-site operations, the design teams and strategic decision-making with the client, Fondation KANAL.
Just a few weeks to go. Together with all the partners involved, we are doing everything we can to get KANAL ready for the opening.
