about the project

This innovative project, known as LOC+, integrates education, culture, and social work facilities, promoting the sharing of knowledge and resources into one collective culturehouse. Designed to accommodate the diverse needs of 23 stakeholders, including 3 primary clients and 20 tenant parties, this flexible building has been designed to accomodate future growth and changes. Co-design was a crucial factor in the process, the involvement of all stakeholders resulting in a dynamic 'village within a building' concept - with the 'Aorta' as its bustling main street. This flexible structure, initially designed for over a thousand students, now efficiently serves almost double, proving its adaptability and resilience in practice. The LOC+ stands as a testament to the power of connection and collaboration, offering a space where education, culture, and care converge seamlessly.
