The project explores the transformation of Blikfabriek, a former can factory in Hoboken, Antwerp, through research into site-specific theatre and on-site observation and analysis. A masterplan was developed collaboratively, reimagining Hoboken’s industrial landscape with a focus on permeability, programmatic diversity, and the preservation of spatial qualities. Within this framework, the design proposal centers on a theatre and housing, combining spaces for living and working.
