COOP Interpretation Center & Incubator / BOGDAN & VAN BROECK

The peculiar challenges of COOP are the local needs for cultural and social sustainability and innovative reuse of a poorly integrated urban fabric. In that context, this project aims to generate an added social value. The urban renewal we aimed at goes beyond the preservation of built heritage, it constitutes the essential challenge of the program itself. The old mill along the Canal in Anderlecht hosts today an incubator for Small & Medium Entreprises (SMEs) linked with an interpretation centre and an innovation shipyard.
