The Landbouwbelang Building in Maastricht is located on the western banks of the river Maas. As an important part of the cultural heritage of Maastricht, this building shows the historical relation between the city and the river it is named after. The old warehouse has large industrial cranes dominating the riverfront. Graffiti covers the facades and its surroundings, giving the place an uninviting, yet iconic atmosphere. But behind its doors lies a vibrant underground scene of squatters and artists which surprisingly welcomes you inside. It is at this point you realize this place has value. Not just for the preservation of its city's historical architecture, but also for further development of a place which brings people together. There is potential to transform this building to a multifunctional event building for the surrounding neighborhood.
