Forum Groningen, Cultural center in Centrum district, Groningen, Netherlands

The Forum Groningen spans ten floors across 17,000 square meters, featuring two interconnected towers with escalators creating passages between different sections.

The project emerged from reconstruction efforts following World War II damage to the eastern side of Groningen's Great Market Square, with construction starting in 2011.

The center combines exhibition spaces, cinema theaters, a library collection, and interactive areas like Storyworld to support various forms of cultural expression.

Five underground parking levels serve visitors accessing the facility, which maintains separate zones for paid exhibitions and free public areas near the atrium.

The 45-meter-high structure incorporates a series of vertical squares throughout its design, leading to a rooftop terrace that functions as both viewpoint and outdoor theater.
