Housing Apart Together showcases the diversity of completed and planned collective housing projects in Flanders, from new buildings to repurposed existing buildings in both villages and cities. All of these projects present novel ways of living together while respecting each other's privacy. Residents appreciate spacious shared outdoor areas where they can sit, eat, play, and garden, together or alone. Staircases and corridors are often designed as additional outdoor spaces. The shared indoor areas vary from laundry rooms, multi-purpose rooms and bicycle parking to play areas, living rooms and kitchens, depending on the project.

There was a time when Ghent owned 5,000 hectares of agricultural land. Today that figure is 1,800 hectares, mostly outside the city boundaries. The city in the countryside. What is the story behind that land? Where does its future lie?
STAM turned ten last year... time for a make-over for the permanent exhibition! Since the end of 2020 you can stroll through the new Story of Ghent.
Feel free to touch! A fun children’s trail that leads through every room in the museum. Children become merchants, craftspeople, architects or city trippers and participate in city life. They sell cloth, make coats of arms, face façades and work out routes.
