The consortium Sven Sterken, Endeavour (Jonas De Maeyer) and REST Architecten (Dimitri Minten) has been awarded a 150K research contract by the agentschap Onroerend Erfgoed of the Flemish Government with a view to designing a ‘Reuse Profile’ (‘Herbestemmingsprofiel’) for all 1800 Flemish parish churches. The aim is to devise a tool that can be used by local stakeholders to evaluate the reuse potential of their local parish church. This instrument constitutes a key element in the Flemish government’s endeavour to develop a long-term strategy towards the increasing number of redundant parish churches in Flanders, next to the systematic implementation of Church Policy Plans and the new Platform Toekomst Parochiekerken, which is coordinated by Roel De Ridder (also affiliated with the Faculty of Architecture). The results of this research will be presented during a ‘roadshow’ which will halt in all 5 Flemish provinces.
