Competition for the Antwerp Collection Center (B) won.

Our design proposal sees the depot as a monumental treasure chest: an ode to preservation, knowledge acquisition and 'The Long Now'. Despite its robust character — a brick sculpture in the new Pomppark Zuid — the building is committed to public interaction: the arrangement of the volumes creates a public square that forms the link between the neighborhood, the park and the collection. On the ground floor, a series of spaces offers a public enfilade.

Due to its location in the new Pomppark Zuid, the Antwerp Collection Center will create added value for users, park visitors and local residents. The building is an integral part of the landscape and the experience of the park.
