Blue Moon

Held in 2001, the ‘Blue Moon’ festival grew out of an idea by Toyo Ito to erect housing at five ‘hidden’ locations in the city core.
Ito himself designed a university guesthoude with gallery space on the ground floor. The special aluminimum 'bricks'were produced in japan and shipped to Holland. The other realised projects were by Space Group, Foreign Office Architects an Tony Fretton. The project of the fifth architect Xaveer De Geyter was temporary.
