In March 2021, the VAi and the Team Vlaams Bouwmeester launched a special edition of the Open Call for the phased redevelopment of the church into archive and office spaces for the VAi.
The core of Bovenbouw’s proposal is based on 3 interventions: 1. a new address 2. the organization of the library, the offices and the meeting rooms in the attic 3. the archive volume as a guest in the church that is treated as an objet trouvĂ©.
