Architect Carl Verdickt: ‘The authenticity in Antwerp in the Seefhoek makes it appealing for creative people’
The Seefhoek is a very creative neighbourhood situated in Antwerp, Belgium. Many people don’t know that there is a lot of hidden art in the district. The famous Belgian sculptor Panamarenko worked and lived here. Also Dutch painter Vincent van Gogh stayed in the Seefhoek for a while. Young people might recognize the place from the songs of Belgian rapper Tourist LeMc. Clearly an inspirational neighbourhood for creative minds. One of the reasons why Carl Verdickt, a thriving Belgian architect, created a coworking place called A-SPACE: a place for architects, artists and designers.
