The Boerentoren tower in Antwerp is set to be transformed into a cultural destination through a collaboration between Studio Libeskind and ELD. This redesign includes a sculptural crown that enhances the tower's silhouette and introduces viewing halls with panoramic views. The project honors the tower’s Art Deco history while excavating its architectural layers, ensuring that the existing structure influences the new design. A central atrium will create a gathering space for cultural events and exhibitions, facilitating connections among the art, heritage, and the community.
This project will transform the iconic Boerentoren into a major cultural destination by housing The Phoebus Foundation's art collection within a revitalized civic space.
Daniel Libeskind emphasizes that the future of the Boerentoren must embrace its past, with design elements drawn from the building's original geometries.
The design aims to reinstate Boerentoren's silhouette on Antwerp's skyline while offering panoramic views and experiences that connect visitors to the city.
A vast atrium will serve as a civic gathering space for cultural events, creating connections between people, art, and heritage.
