The Centrale Werkplaatsen in Leuven are the old walled workshop spaces of the Belgian railroad. The space was not been used for over a decade, although the buildings have their own special atmosphere and could amplify a city and its neighborhood. Therefore on our own initiative, in close collaboration with Miss Miyagi, Onkruid developed a strategy for the temporary development of the Centrale Werkplaatsen to highlight the potential of these places as iconic urban projects with a social added value.
This strategy was at the base of the open call by the city of Leuven in 2016 to redevelop the former railway workspaces, what is now well known as Hal 5.
