Agent wants to turn the City Council Design Museum into an inspiration for circulars, sustainability and innovation in other ways, with support from Flanders.
The new building that will house the Agent Design Museum will have a circular facing brick, somewhat made of waste. It was announced Wednesday in the presentation of plans.
Construction of the new museum building will begin in the summer of 2022, and a new section will open its doors in 2024. The new campus is designed with the aim of demonstrating how innovative techniques can reduce the environmental footprint of a new building. Maximum selection for standard materials and technology. The facing brick used for the CO2-neutral wood frame structure is rounded. So construction waste is processed into it. Relatively young technique, in which scientific institutions are also interested.
Two candidates
Two material studies are underway for the exam, the first being the Dutch company Stone Cycle and the second the UK-based Local Works Studio and the Belgian BC. Stone cycling focuses on facing bricks, a recipe that contains 40 percent clay and 60 percent waste. Local works studio and BC. The materials are facing bricks based on lime and earth. The bricks are pressed instead of fired. This significantly reduces the CO2 content and the entire life of the stones during the manufacturing process.
The museum should have a pale facing brick with a specific structure in which the proportion of waste – preferably from the agent occupants – is processed into the raw material. Two circular facing brick types will be subjected to laboratory tests to verify compliance with requirements such as frost resistance and strength. Based on this, the stones will not or will not be certified. From a legal point of view, it also explores how such innovative products can be used in the context of public procurement regulations.
