Located next to Antwerp’s emblematic central station, Astridplein is both the entrance to the city and a complex intersection of mobility. By compacting the chaotic traffic flows, the project creates space for a central park zone: integrating shaded areas and water features. It transforms the square into a comfortable, multifunctional space for commuters, tourists and locals.
