Kaaitheater

Powerful space for theater in Brussels

NU made a competition proposal together with Crit. architects to develop a powerful space for the Kaaitheater at the pivotal urban point between the small ring road and the Brussels canal, nestled adjacent to the grand scale of Kanal.

It is a condensed model that is both an expression of its urban character and dynamism. As an internal landscape, Kaaitheater absorbs the public space in its own unique way. From this spatial organisation, an intense interior effect is able to be accommodated.
