The Brussels-based project Flow receives the award for Social Engagement for initiator Pool is Cool’s innovative use of architecture to foster social cohesion in a deprived neighbourhood. The project features accessible infrastructure around a mobile pool, made from reused materials, offering outdoor activities, education and jobs to vulnerable local youth.
In 2021, POOL IS COOL, in collaboration with Decoratelier Jozef Wouters, launched FLOW, Brussels’ first public outdoor swimming pool in over 40 years. Measuring 17 by 8 metres, FLOW welcomes swimmers of all ages, backgrounds and genders. Located on a derelict industrial site in Anderlecht, it offers a safe space for the community to enjoy a dip.
