Knokke-Heist’s Metamorphic Art Studio shines with Periscope project at the Venice Architecture Biennale

“During the prestigious exhibition of the European Cultural Centre (ECC) at Palazzo Mora, running concurrently with the Venice Architecture Biennale, Knokke-Heist’s Metamorphic Art Studio is presenting the groundbreaking Periscope project: a visionary yet feasible architectural concept that uniquely blends sustainability with technical innovation. The Periscope project, which has already won multiple international awards, is far from a utopian daydream. Through a working scale model—an technically refined, detailed representation of the final building—it becomes clear that the design is not only forward-looking but also fully achievable within today’s technical and societal context. This metamorphosing scale model forms the beating heart of the Belgian contribution at Palazzo Mora and compellingly illustrates the translation from idea to practice.”
