Moderne architectuur (contemporary architecture)
Leuven-La-Neuve
Leuven is a city in full metamorphosis. Streets, squares, buildings as well as many town quarters are evolving in tune with our rapidly evolving society.
This modernisation has been seized in Leuven to integrate quality contemporary architecture along with our century old set values. This quality is not only present in striking buildings but also in the pleasant squares, eye-catching car parks, lively stations and other infrastructures we use daily.
Old and new enhance one another and together create the municipal decor.
