“We take a very specific approach to rural estates and this from a landscape perspective…What these estates represent as landscapes is very important.”
- Sylvie Van Damme – Lecturer and researcher, HOGENT-KASK
“The building must adapt to people’s lives, not vice versa….The use of the estate by people is important to me. I don’t think you can say today: I own 150 Ha of land, it is mine, stay away.”
- Etienne d’Ursel – Owner, Gruuthuyse estate
“What we will do in the area of the landscapepark Bulskampveld with the Immovable Heritage Masterplan, we want to be able to implement in other regions in Flanders as well”.
- Dries Claeys – Heritage researcher landscape, Flanders Heritage Agency
