Abstract

Abbey Roosenberg in Waasmunster, Belgium was designed by Dutch monk and architect Dom Hans van der Laan. This monumental and iconic building will no longer be used as a monastery. As KU Leuven is going to be a new host, they defined a program that would suit this new special location: a conference and study centre for architects and artists with expectation for it to become a new breeding ground for reflection and new forms of education. Therefore, our task was to make an academic facility that would include existing building and a new extension hosting this new function.
