Nestled in the historic heart of Ghent, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Design Museum Gent celebrates Belgium’s rich design culture within a cluster of listed buildings dating back to 1755. Framed around a picturesque courtyard, the museum’s existing architecture tells a story of heritage, with one side still incomplete and forming a missing link in the historic streetscape.
Architects Carmody Groarke lead a sensitive restoration and extension of the museum, introducing a new exhibition and events wing that completes the courtyard and redefines visitor circulation. This book documents the entire construction process, from the site phase to the use of lime-cured bricks made from city waste and the completion of the new museum.
