The architects behind the licensed new facade design of the Voka building in Ghent are responding to the commotion. In the design, the existing facade is replaced by an installation with flower boxes and geraniums. "This is part of a broader exercise to look differently at public space." Voka knew nothing about the permit application and announced on Monday that it would file a complaint with the Order of Architects.
