Restoration\u00a0and Connection<\/em>
\n<\/strong>
\nThe Abbaye de Villers\u00a0<\/strong>(Villers Abbey), within an area of more than 36 hectares, is a destination site imbued with history and emotion.
\nThe Villers-La-ville abbey site is crossed and split by the N275 national road so it looses logic and unity. Architecture, through a common intervention in landscape and scenography fields, try to reunite the full cistercian composition plan.<\/p>\n

The project by\u00a0Binario Architects<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0aims to reconnect the road with the archeologic site, turning it into a cultural hub in Belgium and a centre of easy access for visitors.<\/p>\n

The project therefore leads to a truly sequence from the parking to the ruins and prepares the visitors. The new path goes by the\u00a0\u201cMill\u201c (reception hall, scenographic spaces, models room), reaches the hill across the new footbridge, continues through the garden, crosses the second bridge over the national road and finally goes down into the ruins.<\/p>\n

The project\u00a0 highlights a common thread by means of sober materials (corten, wood, concrete) set up in various ways.<\/p>\n
