Ernest van Dijckkaai 1, Antwerp

Antwerp was the headquarters of the sea shipping company and will be the site of an Antwerp Hilton. After being obliged to make a major changes in the original project, the work was done totally internally using all five floors and the roof. For the first time it was possible to orchestrate a multy leved structure using two circular arches that modulate the space as the shape and size of rooms change up through the building. The result is a series arabesque slices opening whole building to a ever changing promenade of views internal views.

About M HKA / Mission Statement

The M HKA is a museum for contemporary art, film and visual culture in its widest sense. It is an open place of encounter for art, artists and the public. The M HKA aspires to play a leading role in Flanders and to extend its international profile by building upon Antwerp's avant-garde tradition. The M HKA bridges the relationship between artistic questions and wider societal issues, between the international and the regional, artists and public, tradition and innovation, reflection and presentation. Central here is the museum's collection with its ongoing acquisitions, as well as related areas of management and research.
