架构师提供的文本描述。根特市决定在莱伊河上的一个旧仓库里设立文化部，这是一项大胆的声明。通过将它放置在这个特定的地点，创建了一个新的轴线，它垂直于市中心的主要商业轴。为了确保建筑与城市的直接沟通，使用了明确的形式语言。新的月台窗户朝向不同方向的屋顶层，以及底层布局的透明度，旨在刺激这种沟通。我们明确的选择是向公众开放庭院，把它改造成一个让人们休息和休息的地方。在大楼内，一楼有一部票房。一楼和二楼可容纳办公室，三楼为多功能空间。旧仓库的剩余部分已经修复，与新的办公室内部和图书馆形成了鲜明的对比。

Text description provided by the architects. The decision by the city of Ghent to establish its department of culture in an old warehouse on the river Leie was intended as a bold statement. By situating it at this particular site, a new axis is created, that runs perpendicular to the main commercial axis in the city centre. In order to ensure that the architecture communicates directly with the city, an explicit language of forms was used. The new bay windows on the roof level facing different directions, and the transparency of the ground floor layout are intended to stimulate this communication. It was our explicit choice to open the courtyard to the public and reshape it into a place for people to take a break and rest. Inside the building, a box office was set up on the ground floor. The first and second floors accommodate offices and the third floor is a multifunctional space. What remained of the old warehouse has been restored and put in contrast with the new office interiors and library.
