Annotation

On the site of an old laundry in the Belgian city of Antwerp, residential houses with a courtyard will be built. As in the old town, the buildings are different according to their character, in the specific case we call the Ensemble. External context give direction to the structure of the house, the internal essence of the building completes the structure, the appearance is an expression of the interior, which is shaped by an external appearance. This endless interaction was applied, resulting in 5 different structures. Then a program was defined, containing 7500 m2, with at least five apartment topologies. The requirement was to keep the adjoining north building, as well as the chimney. The proposal benefits the residential area and provides its residents with comfortable accommodation.

my key experience from erasmus

Studying abroad is even compulsory at some universities abroad. The reason is a big shift both in the professional sphere and in the area of personal growth. However, you do not have to think of a serious reason such as developing your own potential or, for example, establishing international contacts. Therefore, to go to Erasmus or another program, you just have to be curious. Each stay abroad is unique, the student chooses it and adapts it to himself (although the school helps a lot), so it depends on you which way, (but usually in a shortcut) it brings you closer to the goal. Personal experience is precious and irreplaceable, come look for yours.
