Co-founder of aNNo architecten Stijn Cools presents the Village Square Meer project in a talk with TBIH's Kate Seymour. In 2023 the project won the European Heritage Award / Europa Nostra Award in Category Citizens’ Engagement & Awareness-raising.
Village Square Meer is an initiative of a local collective of citizens to revitalise an historic convent, listed as national monument and landscape, in the centre of the rural village Meer. The site is well-known in the region but had been abandoned for several years after the public school was closed. By means of architectural interventions, adaptive re-use, landscape design and cultural programming, Village Square Meer made these spaces again accessible to the public. For the first time, in its history the rural village receives a central public square founded upon an important historic urban landscape.
