The project at the old vicarage in Helchteren, Belgium, aims to revitalize the site into a community center by engaging local residents and students. The design includes two main features: a tranquil pavilion and an earth oven, symbolizing the area's revival. The construction was community-driven, using recycled and locally-sourced materials, showcasing a commitment to sustainability. The reversible design minimizes environmental impact, while the emphasis on participatory design strengthens community ties and fosters a shared sense of ownership in the rejuvenation of the abandoned site.
The project embodies a strong emphasis on participatory design and sustainable construction, utilizing local materials and engaging the community in the revitalization process.
This approach to construction not only minimizes waste but encourages a sense of ownership and belonging within the community around the neglected vicarage site.
