Visit to Gent
We started the day by visiting a former factory that was renovated and turned into a living house. The owners of the place who are also architects showed us the blue prints of the original factory and the drawing made for the renovation. Walls have been tore down, a glass facade was added as a form of extension of the outside walls, so as to let the sun light gets into the living spaces. The use of wood enhances the atmosphere. They made a beautiful renovation and inspired the students.
Then we took the train to Gent, which is a really beautiful town, we walked around the historic part of the town.
We all hang around together, all the nationalities are mixing, we even sometimes use English between us!
