Typology of structures crossing metropolitan boulevards

This final study focuses on the reintegration of all the boulevards of the metropolitan centre into the fabric of Brussels public space. More commonly known as the ÂŤsmall belt of BrusselsÂť, this structure of more than 50 hectares identifies itself as an urban highway in the heart of history. The strategy of rebalancing this space appears following the identification of typologies of structural groups crossing the boulevards: structures identified according to the history and urban morphology of the territory. The intersections regain their value as doors by the introduction of connectors and urban interchanges.

Landscapes of the valley basin to be reconsidered

The news that we are experiencing is tending towards a rebalancing of public space in favor of active mobility: implementation of the new regional mobility plan Good Move, the appearance of Covid-19 in the world and containment measures introduced. These elements support the need to reintegrate boulevards into territorial redevelopment policies. This end-of-study work thus contributes to the creation of an imaginary, useful for the rehabilitation and gradual reintegration of the boulevards of the metropolitan centre into the urban landscape of Brussels. To this end, three cases of specific studies have been identified and analysed in greater detail. Each case presents the following structure: an introduction raises the stakes of the site studied. From there, several possible scenarios are briefly analysed, in order to explain one of the scenarios, considered the most favourable. The latter is complemented by a personal account, on the new uses induced, illustrated by an isometry.

#02

THE GARDEN OF APPELS Living an urban park Group work of four people. 2017-2018

We decided to treat a subdivision of the village of Appels as an urban laboratory, where we imagine ourselves in 50 years. The “gentle mobility” get the upper hand over the use of cars. Appels is a village belonging to the municipality of Dendermonde, situated in the Flemish region, in Belgium. Dendermonde is situated in the centre of the triangle formed by nationals connecting Antwerp, Ghent and Brussels. Appels is a dormitory village where the inhabitants stay there only to sleep, given that the activities are concentrated in the neighbouring towns. Furthermore, the village is surrounded by country sides, fields and forests, but has no link with this nature. The major part of the village is made of concrete, cars take a considerable place to the detriment of the green spaces and the private spaces are given priority over public spaces. These facts brought us to densify the triangle bounded by the historical road in the North, the national one in the South, and the road connecting both. Mainly, we can find some concrete, while beyond, fields and nature begin. Our first decision was that part of the private gardens will become community spaces in which we build housing, parks, places of convenience, stores and streets. We were inspired by the “BIMBY” and by the politics of «Zero Concrete». In the end, we found three various typologies of housing environments that we implanted in Appels, following an identical logic of design.

Inside, an interior covered public space leads the visitors into the arena, restaurant, bars and vertical circulation. The lobby is becoming a real public space overflowing toward the arena rink. Some wooden boxes including cloakrooms and toilets are somehow closing the lobby into multiple smaller spaces and allowing some bars to take place. Different atmospheres are possible. The lobby’s part on the south will be more dedicated to interior temporary events or exhibitions, with removable display stands, for example. This way, the lobby isn’t seen just as a straight corridor. A large amount of light enters the lobby through the wooden bearing facade. On the other side of INTERIOR PERSPECTIVE the building are located the technical areas used for the good maintenance of the activities going on in the stadium mainly. Kitchen

The first floor hosts multiple bars and store areas, with the kitchen and storage on the technical side. Upstairs we find the main restaurant with a direct view on the arena rink. It’s also possible to own in the interior perspective, the facade structure is composed of different layers: First the triangular laminated wood beams, go directly from there in the arena. One story above the second floor, we find a small auditorium, rt beams where the window frames are hanged on. a Skybar and a relaxation area with sauna and spa. All those rooms have a beautiful view over wo arena rooms are following the same principle in the structure. The only difference between the two is the sloped ceiling arra the forest and the outside common places. The media, staff and sponsor’s room is also located on arena. this slab and is facing the rink.

ETRIES _ MAIN ARENA RINK STRUCTURE

The building has two main different shells: exterior shell used for the lobby and the interior structure strictly used for the main and practice arena rinks and their seats. Other sets of structure are simply made of wooden frames. As shown in the interior view, the facade structure is composed of different layers: First the triangular laminated wood beams, then the big support beams where the window frames are hung on. The two arena rooms are following the same principle in the structure. The only difference between the two is the sloped ceiling arrangement in the main arena. The structure is composed of triangle mesh structures linked together by rafters (1.50 metres high for the main arena and 1.3 metres high for the practice rinks). In this case, the structure seen from below will remain a wooden “waffle slab”.

LIVING THE WALL

Single unit dwelling in Binche, Belgium Individual work 2016 - 2017

This project is a single unit semi-detached house located near the city centre of Binche. The flat plot I chose for my project lines a part of the historical wall of the former city and is a part of a walk that leads to the municipal park. A clear view is offered above the wall while the plot takes advantage of a south exposure. This narrow plot located on a public space required me to build a two-story house, with the private spaces on the top floor. The living room enjoys the view over the neighboursâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; gardens situated at two metres under the plot level and the ground floor will accommodate visitors in a large kitchen and eat-in room.

Different views and atmospheres are given due to this atypical space, and every story has a different relation with the wall. This part of the three-metre-high wall is composed of a semicircle watchtower and three arcshaped niches with a loophole inside of it. A loophole is a small opening through which small narrow weapons may be fired.

A framework based on the three niches of the wall structures the ground floor. Those niches are visible through a large bay window and are accessible by opening it. The ground floor allows the insertion of a zenithal light, with his 4.5 metres high. An intermediary floor between the ground floor and the living room is used as a study, a spare room or a smaller dining room. The entrance, a toilet and some storing are featured under this floor. At the level of the watchtower, a semi-fully glazed living room goes on in a spacious terrace outside. This rectangular terrace fits into the semicircle tower. From the living room, some stairs lead to the bedrooms, enough stairs to allow an intimacy between both spaces, and to have no too high building compared with the houses next door. This floor is offset from the wall enabling a contrast between the two structures.

TILES COCOONING

Renovation of a facade of a student housing project in Mons, Belgium Group work of two people 2016 - 2017

Being in a student accommodation, with little room for the student, we decided to include facilities in the facade, creating a study and a relaxation place as there was little room for the student in the accommodation. First we thought about the disposal of the desk by thinking that certain people prefer to be in front of a wall and others in front of a window to work. As a student isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t only working in his room, we also want to conceive a space of relaxation. The layout of these two functions ended in an original shape that is repeated and rotated symmetrically on the facade. A light rotation of the module would allow the student to take advantage of a better view on the campus and allow some dynamism in the facade.

Regarding the materiality, the structural metal frame is covered with tiles. Enamelled flat white tiles would cover the supporting structure while granulated terra-cotta facade tiles â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Equitoneâ&#x20AC;? would cover modules. The latter are fixed to the facade by means of metallic hooks and are made of cement. Wood would cover the inside of the module creating a warm, pleasant cocoon. We also integrated a storage space between the module and the wall. To conclude, I would say that our project regains control of the use of tiles, in a new and unusual form.

MODEL BRIC3 Model of 1/10 made during my internship at Karbonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;

The BRIC project was launched by the EFP, in order to integrate the concept of circular economy under construction into the training programme. This project is part of the Regional Circular Economy Program and the Employment-Environment Alliance. It is supported by the European Union and the BAMB. The BRIC is presented as a habitable module: its construction and deconstruction is done by the students of the training in construction, and will be used by other sectors of the training centre. The architectural design of the module is done by an architectural competition. This module is therefore durable, scalable and reversible. It uses materials resulting from reuse, following the logic of a short circuit and reversibility. Thus, this project becomes a place of reflection for several sectors; waste management, heating system management, ventilation, energy-saving lighting, reuse materials, etc. Thus, each year, from 2016 until 2021, three modules will be mounted in the heart of the EFP. The calendar provides for 4 months of assembly, 4 months of use of the module (meetings, workshops, courses, conferences, meetings with partners) and 2 months of dismantling. This school calendar applies from September to June. The first module, BRIC1, was designed by MAP. They put in place the design of the boxes that will serve as the basis for the assembly of the walls of the module. The second and third module is provided by the Karbon office. I had the opportunity to participate at the end of the assembly of the BRIC2, and designed the plans and the model of the BRIC3.

WORKSHOP RE-BUILDING CASS 26 MARCH 2018 AU 13 APRIL 2018

The workshop was organised by the CIVA and conducted jointly with Florian Beigel and Philip Christou. As part of the year of foreshadowing of the future «Pôle Culturel Citroën», designed in collaboration with the Centre Pompidou, the CIVA and a group of 15 students worked on the realisation of a small public equipment within the former Garage Citroën – a restaurant, three bars and two temporary stores. The wood structure reused in the construction of the spaces comes from the Sir John Cass School of Art, Architecture and Design in London.
