Abstract
Reinterpreting the Elephant is about the reinterpretation of abandoned industrial buildings in the city of Liège. Through proposing a craft school in Bressoux, a neighbourhood of Liège, the project tries to reclaim craft in the city and give the city a new chance. By reusing an existing abandoned industrial building and reinterpreting the features of these 'elephants' the new building is shaped.
