Crematorium Uitzicht in Kortrijk Belgium!

source: furnibo.be
The name of this crematorium in Kortrijk Belgium translates as ‘view’ which seems odd when you realise this building is for the most part underground. The building designed by the Portuguese architect Souto de Moura is very intriguing, and only when you leave the building in the end you understand why the name is perfectly chosen.
The director Jan Sabbe generously received us and told us all about the crematorium and its context. It was interesting since we are slowly beginning to understand the influence of local culture and habits on the everyday functions of crematoria. We can’t wait to explore more.
