A new reception building has been added to the Rubenshuis – the site that includes the historic home and studio of artist Peter Paul Rubens – which will open its doors to the public from 30 August 2024. Designed by Robbrecht en Daem architecten,
the new building houses the public reception area, a multimedia experience centre around Rubens and his home and studio, the library, spaces for public activities and a host of back-office functions. The addition forms the new architectural gateway to the universe Rubens created for himself, which includes, in addition to the artist’s residence, his garden with garden pavilion and portico, the Kolverniershof and the Hoveniershuisje.

In 1873, the Bourse building was erected simultaneously with the grand boulevards as monumental scions on the medieval fabric of the sacred isle. The Bourse stands precisely at the intersection of two very different urban planning typologies: the monumental, neoclassical development of Place de la Bourse and its transverse urban axes on the one hand, and the quaint, winding and Gothic alleys around Saint Nicholas Church that lead to the Grand Place and Place de la Monnaie on the other.

On the banks of the channel running through Brussels, this layered project combines a gymnasium, 16m high indoor & outdoor climbing facilities , a multipurpose sports hall and padel fields on top. The aim of the design is to inscribe itself in the specific context and thus increase the cohesion of the canal area, strengthen its identity and give extra quality to the public and open spaces. A public balcony, a kiosk, a viewpoint and cafétaria can attract a wide variety of athletes and visitors. Not everyone needs a membership card to enjoy the lively atmosphere the project will bring.

ZNA Cadix Hospital . Antwerp

Robbrecht en Daem architecten

Situated at the head of Spoor Noord, the hospital is a hinge between the park, the docks and the city, and thus benefits from each of their qualities. The limited surface area of the site requires the hospital to be organised vertically. The hospital structure has a clearly discernible layered construction. All outpatient activities with consultation rooms, centres of knowledge and medical technical services are in the lowest section. The various nursing units are located in an L-shape at the top of the pedestal, above which is the administrative block. This entirety is bisected horizontally several times by interweaving the building with its surroundings. The hospital anchors itself in the urban fabric by releasing the entire ground floor as a public healthcare boulevard with a square function for pedestrians and cyclists. Motorised traffic (including ambulances) is handled entirely underground. The third level also belongs to the public, with a panorama floor and terrace offering a beautiful view of the city and port. The hospital forms a triptych in balance with the adjacent buildings, which are yet to be finalised. Continue reading Robbrecht en Daem
