COOP by BOGDAN & VAN BROECK got shortlisted for the International Urban Project Award 2020. An award presented by Bauwelt Magazine, Berlin and WA World Architecture Magazine in Bejing.
The project COOP concists of a reconversion of an old mill in Anderlecht to an interpretation centre and an incubator for small and medium enterprises.
Extract from jury statement:
“COOP provides us with a multifactorial reference. In addition to the change in the exterior of the building, which brings a new symbol of vitality to the canal, the translation of the past and the future in the interior interpretation centre asserts the cultural significance of the project.”… “On a larger scale, the project is part of an urban regeneration plan that requires the balance between the desire for public investment, the aspirations of community residents, and the needs of urban development."
COOP was also published in IUPA issue of the Chinese World Architecture Magazine.
