The Grand Vision of the Client: A Major Socio-Economic and Cultural Actor. The Administration of the Province of Namur has centralized nearly all its services in a new building, the "MAP," constructed in Salzinnes. By establishing itself on the outskirts and along the Sambre River instead of a highly visible downtown location, the Province of Namur takes a stance that is both strong and thoughtful, reflecting its vision of its role. The tender specifications for the "Design & Build" project required exceptionally high environmental standards, including BREEAM certification. These requirements were achieved at the "Outstanding" level, with a score of 93.53%.

The building - This cultural center sits in the center of Namur, on the north bank of the Sambre River, facing the historic center of the town known as "Le Grognon". Designed by Victor Bourgeois and built at the start of the 1960s, the building required renovation and extension to meet the current requirements of local people and to accommodate the redevelopment of the rue des Bouchers and the banks of the Sambre River. The building used to consist of a 400-seater theatre at one end of a rectangular box-shaped space on four levels with a south-facing curtain wall (looking over the Sambre River) built up against a curved rectangular box-shaped space on five levels, known as the "croissant", which has an east-facing curtain wall and a south-facing end wall which has no openings.
