LEON STYNEN  photos Vercruysse Frederik
In 1933 the Modernist architect Leon Stynen built his own home in Antwerp on the previous Expo site. The Council of Antwerp had the idea to create a district like the Weissenhofsiedlung in Stuttgart, where only modernist homes could be built. Alas, this dream was never realised, but Stynen did design nine houses in his peculiar style. His own home has recently been renovated.
