Using vacant buildings as workspaces

-Where? Hoogstraat 323, 1000 City of Brussels.
-What? After a first phase of informal support, (1999 - 2003 ), and a second more systematic laboratory phase in which instruments were designed, tested and disseminated ( 2003 - 2005 ), PRECARE has been working in a structural way on the actual use of a series of creative workspaces in empty buildings for almost two years.-What? PRECARE is a simple and efficient instrument to strengthen urban creative initiatives by reusing abandoned buildings as workspaces. PRECARE facilitates the 'intermediary use' of abandoned buildings. It not only provides a solution for the need for workspaces in the creative sector, it also creates a positive dynamic in neighbourhoods suffering from abandoned real estate. 
-Who? The site now works as an archive of the project as it was discontinued in January 2010. This website serves as an archive.
-Description: now these buildings are in use.
