Samenvatting

Compost is an ecological way to turn waste into soil. By transforming the abandoned Sparrenkade Powerhouse into a CEC (composting experience center) it will become the kick-starter of an urban ecosystem. The CEC is located opposite the city's waste disposal company, which will later become a demonstration area for its ecological waste disposal. A 'route architecturale' is the storyline of this playful project, telling the story of compost. The significance of the composting experience center is not limited to industrial and educational visits. The composting landscape and the composting grove on the water front allow the bike lane users to feel the concept of composting without entering the main building of the CEC. By sharing the kitchen, collective garden and the public green for the surrounding community, the project also provides a meeting place for the neighborhoods
