Merkem Village Hall

 - Thomas Madlener

Merkem, a village in West Flanders, has a population of approximately 2,300. After its destruction in the First World War, it was rebuilt in the traditional regional style. The new municipal centre, with its symmetrical layout, occupies a site 150 m long and 40 m wide on one of the two main streets. The village hall was conceived as an open platform for a wide range of events and activities.
