Biography
Lucien Kroll was a Belgian architect who was primarily known for participatory projects involving future residents of the buildings. The most famous is the residential building for the medical faculty at the university in the Belgian town of Louvain from 1970-76. These buildings "sparked extensive controversy in the early 1970s; their fragmented and improvised appearance - a result of a deliberate participatory design process - sharply contrasts with the adjacent massive and repetitive hospital, the embodiment of centralized bureaucracy."
