Text description provided by the architects. Concept: absence of architect

“Hof van Busleyden”由一座由砖石和砂岩组成的建筑群组成，以模仿晚期哥特式风格，围绕着三个外部空间：松树的北部小庭院，用鹅卵石铺成的中央长方形庭院，以及面向南方的城镇花园。自1938年以来，它的功能是城市博物馆。这座建筑物作为一座纪念碑得到了保护。

‘Hof van Busleyden’ consists of a complex of buildings, built out of brick and sandstone in replicating late gothic style, around three external spaces: the small northern court yard with pine trees, the central rectangular one, paved with cobblestones, and the south-oriented town garden. Since 1938 its function is the one of city museum. The building was protected as a monument.

博物馆-轴

Museum-axis

“霍夫范布斯莱登”是博物馆的北部目标-麦凯伦的轴心，但同时也与一些旅游线路相连。与商业中心不同，“格罗特马克”可能被视为文化遗产的中心。格罗特市场以北是一座重要建筑的集中地。走在风景优美的路线上，正经历着过去的时光。

The ‘Hof van Busleyden’ is the northern objective of the museum-axis of Mechelen, but in the same time the connection to some tourist trails. In contrast with the commercial centre, the ‘Grote Markt’ might be seen as the centre of cultural heritage. North of the ‘Grote Markt’ a concentration of important buildings is situated. Walking the scenic routes is experiencing the past.

作为博物馆物品的位置，城市的一部分

Location as a museum object, part of the city

在拟议的概念中，中央城市博物馆“霍夫·范·布斯利登”的位置本身被升华为博物馆的一件物品。博物馆强化了当地的城市文化，并融入了城市的组织。按照路线、庭院和花园的顺序，加上酒吧、露台和一家书店，博物馆再次成为这座城市的重要组成部分。博物馆正在以最少的干预措施建立起来。19世纪的护理员住宅将被拆除，取而代之的是现代建筑的体积和垂直钢带皮。

In the proposed concept, the location itself of the ‘Hof van Busleyden’, the central city museum, is sublimed to a museum object. The museum intensifies the local urban culture and is integrated in the tissue of the city. By the sequence of routes, court yards and gardens, with bars, terraces and a bookshop attached, the museum is again an essential part of the city. The museum is being set up by minimal interventions. The 19th century care-takers dwelling is going to be torn down and replaced by a contemporary building volume with a skin of vertical steel strips.
