比利时代因泽的Leietheater是城市中重要的公共空间典范，在扩大代因泽文化遗产影响力中起着关键作用。TRANS建筑实务所及V+事务所的协作团队，在竞赛阶段提出了更换项目场地的建议，以此拓宽项目空间，创建出延伸至Leie河畔的大型城市公园。这番举措也使得剧院得以坐落于重要的城市轴线上，成为更突出的城市地标。建筑改造自被纳入Oude Leiearm公共开放空间的代因泽Leiestreek博物馆，使其再次成为代因泽的文化中心。

The Leietheater ‘takes a step aside’. The building plays a key role in defining the public space and making the heritage of Deinze visible again. TRANS V+ proposed an alternative site to the client during the competition phase. This move creates a large park that extends as far as the River Leie. In addition, the theatre was placed on important sight axes and was thus made present in the city. The Museum van Deinze en de Leiestreek, which had drifted into the open space of the Oude Leiearm, is framed and is once again the cultural heart of Deinze.

场地中的公园由Marie-Josée van Hee建筑事务所设计，与剧院之间相隔的是由Tony Fretto建筑事务所设计的市政中心及Leiebocht中心广场。该地段附近还有Stedelijke学术中心。在该学术中心深造的有才华的年轻人，有很大几率会从这儿登上Leietheater的舞台。

The park was designed by Marie-Josée van Hee architecten and connects the theatre along the Administrative Centre, designed by Tony Fretton architects, with the centre square on the Leiebocht. This is also where the Stedelijke Academie appears, a place where young talent is trained and possibly finds their way back to the stage in the Leietheater.
