STUK, Leuven
Located in the midst of various university buildings, the STUK centre is the old university hall and this is clearly displayed through big metal letters along the street. Designed by architects Riedijk and Rotterdam, the building is constructed around a large patio on which different chambers can be seen: a cinema, a nice café, auditoriums, offices and an art factory. On these grounds, great artists, tourists and passers-by meet and a new world can be found behind each door. STUK is now a house with many inviting rooms and it offers an amazing selection of plays throughout the year.
