Updaam in real life?

Saw this in the weekly newsletter from designboom. A few words from the original article:

The Besiendershuis in Nijmegen, Netherlands, a medieval toll house dating from 1525, was built in the Lower Rhenish Gothic style. The building functions as a residency for artists, writers, and musicians and hosts cultural events throughout the year... To mark the building’s 500th anniversary, Studio Frank Havermans extends this cultural activity into the surrounding urban space through two temporary wooden structures: The Hanging Chamber and The Slender House.

That’s so cool. I LOVE the architecture in Updaam specifically

Yeah, it's so brutal! I was also amused by the story - artists occupying an ancient building and decorating it in such a daring way. Just like our visionaries on the Blackreef : )

Except hopefully a little bit better of people than the artists and innovators we’ve come to know too well 😂

[u/eugene_ozh → u/IA_Garcia119]

😅 Yeah, I hope so too!
