The Building Beyond Pastorie project at Hasselt University transforms an abandoned vicarage garden in Helchteren into a vibrant community space with a pavilion and Earth oven. This initiative integrates participatory design, prioritizing sustainable, bio-based materials to foster social engagement. Developed under the postgraduate program Building Beyond Borders, the project addresses community disconnection caused by infrastructural changes by creating gathering spaces that bring local people together. Collaboratively built by students and residents, the structures symbolize a commitment to ecological responsibility and community revitalization, aligning with broader urban redevelopment goals.
Building Beyond Pastorie showcases sustainable architecture by revitalizing an abandoned vicarage's garden into a community-centric space through innovative design and local engagement.
