BRU.S.L.XL - WEST TRANSITIONAL URBAN ARCHITECTURE IN BRUSSELS INTERNATIONAL MASTER OF ARCHITECTURE KU LEUVEN
SUPERVISION:
Dr. Petra Pferdmenges Christopher Paesbrugghe
15 STUDENTS FROM THE INTERNATIONAL MASTER IN ARCHITECTURE: Giacomo Ambrosini, Ewout de Bleser, Giacomo Cornale, Ramona Georgieva, Ivegeniia Koval, Zuzana Koval’ova, Rasya Kumar, Rostislav Krones, Cathrina McCann, Carolina Torres Ortiz, Emilia Tomasetto, Lauren Uylebroeck, Britt Warnez, Hoan Kim Qui Vu, Emily Westlake
BRU.S.L.XL Dr. Petra Pferdmenges, Christopher Paesbrugghe & Nele Stragier initiated the studio BRU.S.L.XL @ KU Leuven (Sint-Lucas Architectuur) in 2015 to research through design with students from the Master of Architecture for visions for the region of Brussels on multiple scales, concentrating upon a different urban area each academic year. Each semester, 15-30 students come up collectively with a vision on the metropolitan urban scale (scale XL). Furthermore, groups of 3-5 students zoom into the scale of the neighbourhood (scale L). Finally each student develops an individual project (scale S). The projects are designed from within the existing spatial & social situation. They propose a transitional urban architecture of the area over 2020 - 2025 - 2030 - 2035 - 2040.
Exhibition & final jury in the townhall of Molenbeek
2017: WEST This academic semester the students reflect collectively upon one transitional project for the vacant site of 13ha north of the Weststation that is in urban development since this year. CONCEPTUAL - CONTEXTUAL Through model making the students investigated possible concepts that step by step were contextualised by means of a growing consciousness of the spatial and social context. The final outcome of the contextual concept is the model showing their proposal for a part of Brussels 2040. Through filming the urban context of Molenbeek they observed and valued the existing situation and integrated their design projects within the given context. The outcome of the conceptual context is a film presenting the transitional process of the change over time over the next 25 years.
ACADEMIC PRACTICE The studio is based upon the role of Dr. Petra Pferdmenges that is involved through her practice Alive Architecture in collaboration with 51n4e and Taktyk in the design team of the transitional Masterplan for the Weststation. As such the students were confronted with the reality of an urban project while hopefully impacting the urban development on the site through their visions.

The public space infront of the Weststation is transformed into a shared space, becoming the heart of the metropolitan center
The Delhaize hall is opened up to generate a connection between the new park on the east and the existing park on the west of the rail line
A large staircase connects the public space infront of the new Science museum to the raised Line 28 until the existing social housing.

2020 Welcome to the new park in Molenbeek! Rather than designing build space the students design a process of engagement with local actors to stimulate Lived Space in the new park. The existing industrial building at the entry of the park is renovated and becomes a polyvalent space that gives the possibility to organize diverse events. On the other side of the rail line the underused garages of the social housing blocs are hosting start-ups while the little house is transformed into a kiosk.
First action: The opening of the new park in Molenbeek!

2025 The first building of the Metropolitan Centre is open! The students propose around the Weststation a new typology of a Metropolitan Centre: Spread among multiple ground floors it contributes to activate the public realm. To connect it to it’s urban context, multiple links are created. One of them is towards the Infrabel Academy site that the students expand through additional projects towards a learning center. Furthermore the Line 28, a bicycle and pedestrian lane at a regional scale is constructed on the site. It generates a new entrance towards the West Station.

2030 The Metropolitan Centre and the shared space infront of the West Station that connects its multiple parts is completed! The green corridor between the two parks is made through opening up the industrial building of the former hall Delhaize. To relate the project on the vacant site to the urban context around it and to connect east and west of the rail line, the students renovated, transformed and initiated multiple projects that are punctual even though very meaningful for the project on the overall scale.
Densification in the surrounding urban context of the site DENSIFICATION IN THE URBAN CONTEXT
The street of the West Station is transformed into a shared space.
As such it connects the multiple parts of the Metropolitan Centre.

2040 Yes, we made it! The Beekkant crossing welcomes the equipments after the construction of the productive neighbourhood. Further the students transform the Delhaize parking into a public realm that is connected to the Beekkant Metro Station. All green areas are connected and form a regional park system. Both sides of the rail line are connected through three bridges. The Infrabel Academy Site is transformed into a learning center. The innovative model of a Metropolitan Centre is inaugurated. The 45.000 m2 of expanded productive neighbourhood is built.
