Antwerp's very hungry caterpillar explores the transformation of vacant industrial buildings
into a new urban neighbourhood, rooted in the character and history of the site. The design engages with the identity of the location, integrating its industrial past into a spatial narrative that reimagines the relationship between living and working.
This approach aligns closely with the theme of the studio, which explores how the twentieth-century industrial belt surrounding Antwerp can be transformed into a new city centre - a ‘downtown’.
