Inside an unoccupied industrial building close to Charleroi train station, new working spaces for high-tech companies and laid out according to a city grid. Autonomous workspaces frame a central public space dedicated to the communal activities of this industrial ecosystem. In the context of a post-industrial city faced with an employment deficit, the conversion of the spaces of this golden age is as slow as that of historic know-how. The Advanced Engineering Centre acts as a laboratory to experiment with the new forms of work of the 21st century, faced with the transformation of the labor market.
