Overview
The Design Museum Gent in Ghent, Belgium, has undergone a revamp, culminating in the addition of a new architectural volume. This extension, a collaborative effort by architecture studios Carmody Groarke, Atama, and Re-st, features a geometric form and is clad in waste-based white bricks. The museum is scheduled to reopen to the public following these additions.
Approach
The architectural intervention involved the construction of a timber-framed wing. This new structure is characterized by its geometric volume, which is externally finished with waste-based white bricks.
Findings
The revamp introduced a timber-framed wing to the Design Museum Gent. This wing provides new educational spaces, event spaces, and additional exhibition capacity within the museum complex.
Why This Matters
The completion of the revamp and the integration of new spaces are intended to expand the functional capabilities of the Design Museum Gent, offering enhanced provisions for education, events, and exhibitions.
