Who will renovate Beursschouwburg? Bovenbouw Architectuur!

The renovation plans for Beursschouwburg will focus on radical empathy.

In collaboration with the Belgian architectural firm Bovenbouw Architectuur, Beursschouwburg is opting for a careful reinterpretation of the original building rather than a complete transformation. Drawing on the layered history of the building and Beursschouwburg's distinctive character, Bovenbouw will infuse the site with a new dimension.

With energy-efficient techniques, smart circular materials and green interventions to boost urban biodiversity, the building is being designed to breathe, live and embrace the city.

The design team was appointed through an open call procedure, commissioned by the Flemish government's Department of Culture, Youth and Media, Team Vlaams Bouwmeester, Team Brusselse Bouwmeester and the Facilitair Bedrijf of the Flemish government.

About Beursschouwburg

Beursschouwburg is a multidisciplinary center for arts and reflection, an open meeting place strongly anchored in Brussels’ reality. Here we embrace the local, the global and the glocal. 

Beursschouwburg functions as a platform to present and develop a wide array of art practices and research, as a  support and experimentation network for artists, collectives and thinkers; a hub that questions normativity and welcomes new narratives.

Together with collaborators, we co-create programs that ignite fruitful encounters between different audiences, forms and genres, between art and everyday life, between the emerging and the established, between urgency and joy.
