Xaveer de Geyter + Stephane Beel The Economy building

This is the new economy building of the University of Ghent. At some moments, a sunken square on the basement floor is filled with hundreds of students between lectures and at other times is a deserted place with unexpected distant views. From here, a sequence of open inclines, staircases and corridors with the air of a landscape climb up along the facades and around the central lecture theatre.
