The Ursuline site in the centre of Malines is characterised by different, undefined buildings. The public buildings intertwine with private homes, and the whole block looks like a labyrinth in a poorly visible urban fabric
Interweaving of public and private buildings. A series of courtyards create a space between the blocks
The site at Ursulinen High School in Malines, Belgium, presents a mixture of different styles and types of buildings, a labyrinth that Label architecture tries to structure through the introduction of courtyards and open spaces
