February 2020. F&P + OUEST architecture win Théâtre des Variétés competition
Flores & Prats, collaborating with OUEST Architecture, have won the competition for the renovation of the Théâtre des Variétés in Brussels.
The Ancien Théâtre des Variétés was a theatre and music-hall from the 30s that later became a cinema until closing in the 80s and becoming finally abandoned. Together with Bruxelles Laïque and our team of experts, we will work on adding a new chapter to this historic building by converting it into a new International Laboratory for Artistic Creation.
The judges commented that the winning design by Flores & Prats and OUEST Architecture “evokes the memory of the building rather than nostalgia for it” and “offers devices that are a source of inventiveness, creativity and identity”.
