Articulé autour d’un atrium central, le projet « Reboot » revisite de façon contemporaine le vocabulaire parisien : soubassement à double niveau, oriels, architecture de fer et de verre, fenêtres verticales, bandeaux, frises, corniches, verrière… L’équipe réinterprète également l’immeuble tertiaire dans une version innovante qui propose divers lieux et services.

The new building had to house a library, meeting rooms and a café overlooking the city, as well as offices and laboratories for the University of Ghent and a center for new media (IMEC). Yet the new building also had to become a worthy architectural sparring partner of Henry Van de Velde’s nearby masterpiece the “Boekentoren” (book tower) – the university library -, as well as play a vital element in the regeneration of the dilapidated neighbourhood as a place of gathering for local residents.
