Abstract

This project is part of the Heritage & Architecture studio “Sustainable Zutphen”. Within this studio the aim was to revitalize Nieuwstad; a medieval city extension of Zutphen. The Baudartius Centre for Visual Arts is a proposal for the redevelopment of the post-war school buildings of the Baudartius college, which is situated on top of the former fortifications of Nieuwstad. The aim of this redevelopment proposal is to strengthen the (architectural) characteristics of the existing 1950’s buildings and to reintroduce this part of the city again as an urban node and gateway to the city.
