The city of Breda has formulated the ambition to become the first ‘City in the Park’ and has been working consequently on improving biodiversity and nature-inclusive building. Recently the Breda Architecture Award 2020 (BLASt Prize) was awarded to the new Breda University of Applied Sciences Campus, a design by Inbo and Culd. In the heart of the project a formerly car-lined road was transferred into a new park. The courtyard of the adjacent cloister was opened up towards the new green campus. Even when the university buildings might be closed due to covid-19, the new campus space is open to the public and contributes to quality of life in the city.
