We designed these elements specifically to conform to the unique characteristics of this location and the language of our design The use of natural lines and curves emphasise the integration between building and landscape and this is where the strength of our design lies.” enhancing the visual dominance of the entire development along Middelkerke’s coastline the entrance to the building is recessed beneath the arched profile of the public roofscape which slopes down on either side with stairs leading to the ground level an atrium with an oval plan form presents itself A similarly shaped core at the centre of the foyer grants access to the hotel lounge and breakfast hall on the floor above followed by five floors devoted exclusively to rooms for guests to help cut down vehicular traffic near the public spaces above it Silt Middelkerke is poised to redefine the relationship between the seaside public space and the surrounding township along this stretch of the West Flanders coastline Although it was constructed in rapid time over a period of less than two years the road to arrive at this point was neither simple nor straightforward “The specific location of the project was a challenge high water levels had to be considered and the safety of the hinterland had to be guaranteed at all times construction was not allowed during July and August which is the tourist season in Middelkerke.” Jerry's work as a writer is fuelled by an innate desire to ascertain the driving forces behind exemplary architecture and design he directs this interest towards crafting riveting narratives that attempt to capture the essence of creative endeavours from all over the world From vernacular knowledge to modern sustainability Middle Eastern pavilions serve as living archives of architectural thought offering fresh frameworks for global adoption STIR engages with the curators of the Togo Oman and Qatar pavilions—debuting at the Venice Architecture Biennale 2025—on representation the book presents a fictional story depicting algorithms exercising control over humans and how this affects the built environment Tipnis shares how the toolbox democratises the practice of restoration via DIY resources to repair tangible urban heritage made of common building materials Exclusive preview for subscribers.

The requirements for a new venue building, Silt in Middelkerke, encompassed a wide array of objectives. The design had to accommodate a reinforcement of the sea embankment, a plan to enhance the quality of the public space by removing car traffic and also unify the boulevard and the Epernay square. © Sebastian van DammeA rejuvenating impulse. The center of Middelkerke needed a rejuvenating impulse to create conditions for living and visiting the coast that met the contemporary requirements and preferences of residents and tourists alike This called for a new layout of Epernay Square becoming a car-free zone thanks to the planned underground parking garage This connects it to the center and allows access by car while still giving most space to pedestrians and cyclists At least as important as the casino itself was the need for a multipurpose building, that could serve as a social and cultural meeting point for Middelkerke; a new living room for the town, to host conventions, exhibitions and concerts. On top of that, the development of a hotel right on the beach would stimulate tourism. In collaboration with OZ, DELVA Landscape Architects, and Bureau Bouwtechniek, ZJA produced a design that excels in integrating the casino, the hotel, and the multipurpose hall into the characteristic West Flemish dune landscape. This had disappeared behind the dead straight sea embankment and the wall of buildings made out of bricks and concrete. © Stefan SteenkisteReviving history. This project offered the opportunity to call to memory the history of Middelkerke as a thriving town on the medieval island of Testerep And so it does by creating a space in the center of town that creates a renewed relationship with the landscape of dunes The Venue Building offers a contemporary way to experience the historic coastal landscape in the center of Middelkerke The sea embankment is reconstructed more towards the sea creating extra space that offers an open view and breaking the monotony of the straight embankment This allowed for the Epernay square to be extended by a high artificial dune on top of which a green square with ponds and fountains arises This results in a natural and attractive place to linger with views of the sea and direct access to the beach © Sebastian van DammeThe dune and the eye-catcher. The artificial dune introduces the surrounding landscape and the gullies back into the center of town. This ‘landscraper’ combines a dune/square and the functions of the casino, multipurpose hall, and hotel with the open space of the beach. Inside and outside interact intensely on all levels. This design adapts to the landscape in a contemporary way, never becoming cheap or loud. The design minimizes the use of energy and material in the building process but the choice for more efficient production processes and the application of recycled material also make this a sustainable design Sustainability and environmental criteria are not an afterthought but of the same crucial order as safety The artificial dune and the awning part of it near the terraces of the hotel and the casino are an energy-saving element By offering shadow in summer and insulation during the winter because it is a renewable and circular material What draws people to Middelkerke? Thanks to the parking garage underneath the dune, removing cars from the Epernay square and expanded public space towards the sea room has been created for what can safely be called a place of interest, a sight to be seen: the green dune-like square with ponds and fountains, leading to the beach. This is the experience that draws people to Middelkerke The raw and open character of the sea is smoothly and invitingly fused with the landscape of beach and dune and entwined with the economic and cultural vital functions that give Middelkerke the reserved elegance that characterizes a contemporary seaside resort Client Silt Middelkerke: The municipality of Middelkerke The Nautilus consortium

making it car-free the design forms part of an improved public space where the boulevard and Epernay square meet comments: ‘The integral design is a new chapter in the history of Middelkerke which once originated as a fishing village after dunes were formed on the historic Testerep peninsula The dunes offered protection against flooding and the channel between the island and the mainland was directly connected to the North Sea After a century of large-scale developments and infrastructure projects the original landscape has largely disappeared under stone and asphalt Our design will restore the dune landscape to its former glory.’ The teams at DELVA (see more here) and ZJA (see more here) envisioned the public space of ‘Duincasino Middelkerke’ to be integrated within the existing Epernay square creating a harmonious weaving of fluid geometries and the beach is a vast artificial dune in which the casino the public hall for concerts and exhibitions and sand gullies flowing towards the beach simulate a dune experience with the climb to the green square on top of the dune Attached to the open space is a beach hotel with its enigmatic sculptural silhouette an understated icon with an open grid of curved beams in Accoya wood,’ shares DELVA.  This project was made possible through dedicated collaborations with the various services of the municipality of Middelkerke the Environment department and the Agency for Maritime Services and Coast of the Flemish government and production processes and applies recyclable materials where possible concludes with the following. ‘The International Architecture Award is testimony that we made the right choice two years ago was immediately drawn to the sober and intuitive design This award has now validated the unanimous decision We also had the feeling that the construction team had done its homework thoroughly and had come up with a stylish and sustainable design This landmark for our town is being constructed now We are eagerly awaiting the new Venue Building’s domino effect to boost the Middelkerke experience.’ AXOR presents three bathroom concepts that are not merely places of function but destinations in themselves — sanctuaries of style Architects ZJA has teamed up with Bouwtechniek and landscape architects DELVA to create the Venue Building for the Municipality of Middelkerke—an urban renewal development that functions as a new icon of the city and public destination The requirements for a new casino building in Middelkerke encompassed a wide array of objectives.  The design

starting point for the design the architectural studio ZJA made For its sustainable design that integrates landscape with architecture Venue Building Middelkerke has recently been awarded a 2022 International Architecture Award by The Chicago Athenaeum: Museum of Architecture and Design and The European Centre for Architecture Art Design and Urban Studies The soul of the design resides in its intimate integration with the landscape the transformation of the town center into one that is pedestrian-friendly and the introduction of a landmark building that combines public space All this while reinforcing the sea dike providing Middelkerke with needed security A large public space is created by moving the dike further onto the beach creating an extension of the existing Epernay square while integrating it into the landscape.  An underground parking garage ensures a car-free zone on the street level and the beach is a huge artificial dune in which the casino These functions are built underneath the extension of the public space but all have transparent facades and spectacular views.  The event space serves as a social and cultural meeting point for Middelkerke and sand gullies

Noordzeecross in Middelkerke(Image credit: Getty Images)The heavy rain turned the usually sandy Middelkerke course into a mud fest in the final event of the Superprestige on Saturday.  Lucinda Brand (Baloise Trek Lions) won by a wide margin crossing the finish line 1:15 ahead of second place Laura Verdonschot Ceylin Alvarado (Alpecin-Deceuninck) rounded out the podium in third place Brand took control straight from the start and a small mistake by Alvarado was enough for the Dutch rider to get a gap Brand had 25 seconds on Alvarado and Annemarie Worst Alvarado dropped Worst while Verdonschot was steadily moving forward through riders.  Brand was on her way to victory with Verdonschot in second place Fire is inimitable. With two laps to go she has almost doubled her lead over Verdonschot who is currently in second place and Alvarado in third. Worst finished in fifth place Alvarado won the final classification of the Telenet Superprestige for the third time in her career.  Eli Iserbyt claimed the 49th cyclocross victory of his career ahead of his Pauwels Sauzen-Bingoal teammate Michael Vanthourenhout who was second Joris Nieuwenhuis (Baloise Trek Lions) finished third Nieuwenhuis accelerated off the front in the first lap and established a small gap to chasers which included Iserbyt the Dutch champion only had 25 seconds on the chasers while Vanthourenhout was moving up with Lars van der Haar on his wheel The Belgian champion made his move on the sixth lap catching and passing riders until he connected and dropped Nieuwenhuis one lap later European champion

way to the third spot after a poor start and was initially joined by Annemarie Worst and Leonie Bentveld but Verdonschot's pace proved to be too high. The Deceuster-Bonache rider gradually closed the gap to Brand Van Empel secured the overall title in the series even though she will miss the eighth and final round in Brussels.  Niels Vandeputte (Alpecin-Decueninck) claimed the first UCI C1 cyclocross victory of his career ahead of Joris Nieuwenhuis and Joran Wyseure X2O Trofee leader Lars van der Haar (Baloise Trek Lions) finished fourth Van der Haar had started well and formed the leading group together with five other riders until gradually cracks started to appear in the front group under pressure by the work of Nieuwenhuis and Wyseure. Only Vandeputte could follow the duo Nieuwenhuis crashed leaving Wyseure and Vandeputte at the front Nieuwenhuis briefly joined Van der Haar in the chase group before once again catching the two riders in the front The trio was together

envisioned as an artificial sand dune as well as a restaurant and events hall situated inside the main dune-like building On top of this will be the hotel and will feature a wooden latticed facade The overall design is meant to recreate the local area's original landscape "Inspiration for the design was found in the story of the town's origin," explains ZJA "Middelkerke originated on the island of Testerep and was able to grow into an abundant fishing village through the natural protection of a dune and a direct connection to the North Sea via a natural canal The dunes and water channels of Middelkerke disappeared as a result of urbanization over the last century "The construction of the casino building in Middelkerke will function as a tool to renew this historic coastal landscape and give it a contemporary meaning The building program nestles itself naturally in the landscape restaurant and casino will be situated behind completely transparent facades under the dune offering spectacular views of the beach and the sea The volume of the hotel has a strong visual presence and yet a modest footprint and stands like a boulder amidst this elevated landscape" There's no word yet on when construction is expected to begin but the project will make use of recycled materials the cantilevered form of the dune building will help shade the interior and reduce active cooling requirements Its interior will be focused on maximizing daylight and ventilation Visitors will be able to walk on top of the roof of the casino to enjoy views of the North Sea and a new car-free public space will also be created the project will bolster the local sea wall defenses the firm is part of a larger consortium named Nautilus Bureau Bouwtechniek and Furnibo and Democo MINT and

 news direct to your inbox Blooloop is taking climate action and is now B Corp Certified Archive Architecture Designed with a great love for the sea and the dunes this spectacular new building is a significant asset for the Belgian coast This coming weekend an extraordinary venue building will be inaugurated in Middelkerke: Silt and provides impetus to its context in several respects The extraordinary design is a creation of architectural studio ZJA and DELVA landscape architects in collaboration with OZ and Bureau Bouwtechniek and a wealth of experts who together make up the Nautilus Consortium The architects have anchored the building to its location by integrating it into a new experiential landscape inspired by the former island of Testerep characterized by dunes (coastal defences) and water channels (prosperity) The fusion of the building with the landscape ensures that coastal defences enhanced quality of life and sustainability merge harmoniously into the existing coastline the hotel tower manifests itself like a new beacon on the coast a multifunctional events space and underground parking Integral Coherence as the Basis of an Extraordinary Design The essence of the design lies in the integration of significant aspects from the experience of the public to coastal reinforcement and economic impetus With the once bleak Epernay Square as its centre the sea embankment and coastal defences are now fused together and an extensive new experiential landscape has arisen Underground parking ensures this is a car-free zone The ground level is thus dedicated as a public space the dune basin and sand channels leading to the beach give back to Middelkerke the characteristic landscape it holds dear The climb to the top of the new dune offers breathtaking views and becomes a tourist attraction in its own right landscape architect and founder and partner at DELVA “Skyscrapers determine the skyline of a modern city For Silt the design team sought a ‘landscraper’ a new and unique dune landscape with a programme inside We have deployed the characteristic landscape as a means of integrating all the tasks set us in a way that looks natural The result is a new dune landscape to be experienced a landscape in which residents and visitors can once again enjoy the view the design team has produced an integral concept of high quality this is a structure integrated into a landscape that in every respect has a sustainable relationship with its environment A modest yet striking tower with an open lattice of curved beams of Accoya wood it exudes not just the connection with its surroundings but sustainability as well Because sustainability is just as central to the design as safety The aim has been to optimize energy supply “The design rewrites the historical relationship between the seaside resort and the sea and with its modest hotel tower it adds a lot of new public space to the location while having a relatively small footprint the hotel tower is an eye-catching building with its striking shape and external wooden structure Visible from along the entire historical coastline of the former island of Testerep Silt is unassuming while having maximum impact The catalyst for a new vibrant centre of Middelkerke.” as well as great love for the sea and the dunes It is a project that perfectly reflects the character of the seaside resort and that can mark the start of the creation of a new centre for Middelkerke is particularly proud of the new landmark in his municipality Silt will be given new sea defences that can withstand the worst storms expected in a thousand years It can cope with extreme weather including extraordinarily high waves and water more than two metres above the present sea level It makes Middelkerke the best protected place on the entire Belgian coast “You immediately feel that Silt far transcends local ambitions Whether it’s a matter of innovative and aesthetic coastal defences or the development of a fantastic tourist attraction it will undoubtedly become an irresistible pull To say nothing of the beautiful architecture we are gifting to our fixed The project has been completely remarkably quickly In February 2022 the building team began excavating the immense construction site This is attributable to the close collaboration and dedication of all the parties involved Guy De Meyer (responsible for the project on behalf of developer Debuild) says This has proven of immense value several times over the proprietors added several new elements to the programme Because of our open and structured communication we were quickly able to come to a unanimous decision and we succeeded in delivering the project on time even with those new elements That is an achievement of which we are justly proud We have executed a unique building project on the Belgian coast dedication and tenacity of the combination of TM Furnibo-Democo all its building partners and the entire site team.” You

front distancing a group that featured Pauwels but also Wout Van Aert (Vastgoedservice-Golden Palace) and Lars van der Haar (Giant-Alpecin) The world champion made the difference by hopping the barriers and hopping a ditch just before the finish line “A few times I created a gap but I twice got stuck in the sand which cost me a lot of energy,” Van der Poel said With three laps to go Van der Poel was once again leading the race until he went over the handlebars when hopping into a short sand section While Van der Poel recovered he was passed by Wout Van Aert During the penultimate lap Pauwels exploited a small mistake from Van der Poel to create a gap Pauwels overtook Van Aert by hopping over the barriers and then sped away by hopping over the ditch When hitting the bell lap Pauwels was the virtual winner of the Superprestige series since Van Aert rode in between Pauwels and Van der Poel “When Kevin quickly created a gap and left Wout behind it was hard I bridged back up with Wout and gave everything I had in the final lap With the barriers and the ditch I had a few more cards to play but in the end I was wasted,” Van der Poel said Pauwels rode his best passage of the sand section but behind him Van Aert rode his worst and saw Van der Poel riding away Pauwels spotted that the situation had turned around in favour of Van der Poel The gap was too big to close down for Van Aert It’s great that I was riding well but it’s too bad Wout wasn’t a tiny bit stronger I kept an eye on them but saw that Mathieu had dropped Wout,” Pauwels told Vier Pauwels once again hopped the barriers and the ditch and headed for his third Superprestige victory of the season When looking back Pauwels spotted Van der Poel and he realized the overall win wouldn’t be for him He celebrated the race victory without a smile “It’s too bad but the win adds glamour to my season Next year it will be even harder,” Pauwels said Pauwels clearly made him work hard for his money Van Aert was third ahead of Lars van der Haar Tom Meeusen and Jens Adams (Vastgoedservice-Golden Palace) Sven Nys (Crelan-AA Drink) bounced back from a poor start to take seventh place ahead of Belgian champion Klaas Vantornout (Sunweb-Napoleon Games) Vincent Baestaens (BKCP-Powerplus) and Tim Merlier (Sunweb-Napoleon Games) Meeus second and Philipsen makes it an Alpecin-Fenix 1-3 Tim Merlier (Alpecin-Fenix) took hold of the second Belgian road race title of his career with a sprint victory at the end of a chaotic race in Middelkerke.  who won a breakthrough title in 2019 before winning stages at the Tour de France and Giro d'Italia got the better of Jordi Meeus (Bora-Hansgrohe) in the dash for the line.  Merlier's teammate Jasper Philipsen claimed the final spot on the podium as Alpecin-Fenix sprinted with two riders after playing both cards throughout the day.  made up of a long opening lap through windswept De Moeren and then six local laps of 13.6km but there were plenty of riders not interested in a bunch sprint who wanted to rip the race up In the absence of the defending champion and favourite Wout van Aert there was a sense that anything was up for grabs The early breakaway of 14 riders contained some big names and they quickly opened a lead of six minutes and a huge surge in pace saw the main bunches come roaring back Most of the pre-race favourites were up in the front peloton but Intermarché were caught out and spent the rest of the day on the back foot.  Merlier and Philipsen both crashed on the run-in to the local circuit as the race became increasingly chaotic With the remnants of the early break caught Sep Vanmarcke went on a solo attack and was soon joined by 10 riders: Philipsen allowing Merlier and Alpecin-Fenix - the most represented team in the bunch - to sit back Lotto Soudal then had shoulder responsibility for their leader Arnaud De Lie that situation was turned on its head when Philipsen punctured and dropped from the group on the penultimate lap Alpecin started to chase and the gap steadily dropped.  Remco Evenepoel tried to upset the order for a QuickStep team with no real sprint card The youngster attacked from the bunch and made it over to the front of what was a fragmenting lead group Evenepoel put them under serious pressure but was never able to drop them and go clear the race then came back together for a sprint from a reduced and tired group with Meeus running him very close to take the silver medal De Lie could only manage a more distant sixth place.  Results powered by FirstCycling Patrick FletcherSocial Links

Noordzeecross.(Image credit: www.ispaphoto.com)The podium in Middelkerke: Tom Meeusen While temperatures dove under the freezing point and a cold wind tortured the crowds the weather didn't seem to bother the Belgian champion It's the eighth victory of the season for Nys but more importantly it was also his third win in five days boosting his morale just before the all important weeks after Christmas "These are the heydays of 'cross and a lot of people came over to watch this race although it isn't included in any competition Due to the absence of Albert and Stybar winning seems normal but it always feels good to do so If I would have been training I'd have suffered just as much," Nys said Nys accelerated during the third lap and the Belgian champion was joined by young Tom Meeusen and Klaas Vantornout The latter had to let go of the leaders after going over the handlebars Nys rode a steady pace and never worried about Meeusen and halfway through the race the duo had a huge gap on the first chaser's group: Klaas Vantornout Meeusen had to let go of Nys with three laps to go but the 21-year-old Belgian didn't fade completely and easily held on to second place "I'm surprised that after my second place in Antwerp I'm on the podium again with the pro's I benefitted because Nys caught all the wind and he allowed me to stay with him for a long time; he probably wasn't worried about me," Meeusen told Cyclingnews Further back it was Vantornout who stormed away from the other chasers and the Sunweb Projob rider easily rode towards third place "In Kalmthout I rode a perfect race on a similar course but here I made a mistake and went over the handlebars On one occasion I tried to get back near the front and suddenly I had ten seconds on the others There were twenty more seconds but to close down that gap on Nys on this course isn't possible," Vantornout told Cyclingnews A group of five riders battled for fourth place and it was Dieter Vanthourenhout who won it After a strong start in which he rode in second place for about a lap "I ran out of gas towards the end of the race," Page told Cyclingnews In previous years Page always did well in Middelkerke with a couple of second places and a fourth place last year "Compared to those this is reasonably good especially because it is the fifth day since I flew back from the US which is normally the worst day," Page said There were many more US riders at the start in Middelkerke including the Canondale-Cyclocrossworld team's Jeremy Powers who rode in second place during the first lap before fading back to seventeenth place Teammate James Driscoll choose different tactics The 23-year-old battled for tenth place with two younger Belgians and eventually claimed a solid eleventh place when I crashed early on with Ryan Trebon," Driscoll told Cyclingnews On Sunday Driscoll finished 38th in the World Cup of Kalmthout and his performance in Middelkerke surely boosted his confidence Team-mate Powers opted not to race in Kalmthout in order to get used to the European clock "My start was fantastic but suddenly they accelerated and off they went In the US we ease off once in a while but here it's flat out all the time I wouldn't want to be anywhere else in the world right now," Powers told Cyclingnews Further back Daniel Summerhill rode a decent race finishing just ahead of compatriot Brian Matter At noon many former riders battled each other in an all-stars race Coach of the Belgian national team Rudy De Bie won the event besting his brother and former world champion of 1989 Danny De Bie and Johan Museeuw The North Sea cross was organized for the 51st time It began in February 1959 and is the oldest standing cyclo-cross race Further details have emerged concerning the German bunker found during works ahead of the construction of a new casino building in the seaside resort of Middekerke (West Flanders) The bunker forms part of Atlantic Wall defences and dates from the Nazi occupation of Belgium during the Second World War The old casino building on the front in Middelkerke has been completely demolished The bunker was discovered during preparations for the construction of the new building that will be erected on the same spot VRT’s Tijs Mauroo was one of the first people to step inside the bunker in decades He says most local people were aware that two bunkers had been constructed underneath the casino but the main question concerned the state in which they would be found The second bunker still needs to be localised When he visited the first bunker together with archaeologists Tijs saw with his own eyes that all traces of ammunition weapons and personal belongings had been removed These were probably taken away at the end of the war or shortly after the Liberation by Canadian and British troops The subterranean rooms are well-preserved and include several striking notices including one banning the use of electrical equipment (top) The discovery of the bunker is unlikely to delay building work as it is not unique It will be properly examined and studied before it is demolished Demolition of the bunker will be no easy task given its concrete construction and 2-metre-thick walls Mayor Jean-Marie Dedecker (right wing liberal) of Middelkerke is relieved a lengthy archaeological examination of the German construction will not be required
