Groningen Skyline from The Forum Building. Groningen, The Netherlands.
NL Architects has completed a huge cultural complex in Groningen back in April 2020, which has since become an important landmark for the Dutch city. Billed as a "cultural department store", Forum Groningen contains a wide variety of facilities, including cinema screens, exhibition galleries, an auditorium for performances and talks, library facilities and workspaces. At its heart of the building is an elaborate multi-level atrium where the public will be encouraged to meet, work and spend time. The building is 11 storeys high and clad in stone, matching the Bentheimer sandstone that features on many of the city's best-known structures, including the Martinitoren steeple and the City Hall. It has a multi-faceted shape, which NL Architects created by starting with a rectangular block and subjecting it to a series of "slices". "The tapered shape was conceived with the objective to reduce the visual impact of the immense volume, to make it look more friendly," explained Klaasse.
