Wing 19 - A new building by Francesca Torzo for Z33 (Hasselt, BE)

Vleugel 19 (Wing 19) is the new exhibition building for Z33 - House for Contemporary Art, Design and Architecture. This is where Italian architect Francesca Torzo puts forward fundamental ideas about the nature and positioning itself. In addition, the building responds to the existing context, with Vleugel 58 (Wing 58), the Jenever museum and the adjoining beguinage. The result is a building that challenges visitors, curators and artists. The audience is not presented with virgin white boxes, but spaces with an outspoken character, which turns the building into a gift, not only for the art that will be displayed there, but also for the visitors and the city.
