CIRCULAR BRUSSELS IN THE FRAMEWORK OF THE INTERNATIONAL MASTER IN ARCHITECTURE KU LEUVEN, CAMPUS SINT-LUCAS BRUSSELS
MAB 14 Guided by Catherine Mengé & Laurents Bekemans
CIRCULAR BXL by Laurens Bekemans, Catherine MengĂŠ
URBAN PROJECTS, URBAN CULTURES: EXPLORING THE CITY 1. The program of the design studio focuses on designing architecture in an existing urban context, taking into account the changing social, spatial and economic conditions. The transformation and refocusing of the economic activity due to globalization, knowledge economy, aging society, growth of the non-active population, tourism, the multicultural society ... forces us to develop new working methods for the built environment. Within the design studio students are trained to design architecture based on their understanding of the urban culture in those new conditions. The program emphasizes the specific combination of design and research, by exploring the impact of the complex urban processes on architectural design. Design is seen as a creative way to explore and look into those new societal and cultural challenges. Students start the design studio with the development of a vision on the design location, TIR building C and it’s neighborhood. An important key issue is the relation of the future project with the urban environment and its socio-cultural dimension. The student investigates the impact of, and the potential within, the different urban contexts. In his/her design activity, the student concentrates on the development of design strategies and design-methodology. Students are trained to read, analyze and formulate their personal interpretation on basis of a project-based potential. Students are initiated to process objective and subjective information, statistical, historic and social data, maps and urban strategies, and as such can confront and control the acquired information into a coherent vison and individual interpretation.
CIRCULARITY Circular economy is necessary and promising. Due to the energy, materials and climate transition, our environmental laws will soon become stricter. Long transport chains will push up the price of products. Residuals and waste will need to become the resources for tomorrow’s economy. This offers opportunities for shorter and closed production chains. These circular chains are most promising in places where many people live: in and around the city. We need to close the gap between thinkers and creators. The gap between the knowledge and manufacturing economy is also reflected in the space. In and around Brussels, the highly educated live in the South-east, while the workers live in the North-west. As one of the richest regions of Europe, Brussels still has one of the lowest average incomes. Investing on an urban industry combines both brains and hands and helps to bridge the gap. Local quality and craft are once again in demand. More and more people recognize the value and quality of locally produced crafts and food. As a counterpart to the automation of labour, we see a revaluation of handicrafts, metier and trade. From re-use to recycle. 2
SITE: TIR, BUILDING C A different city is being built now, in and around Brussels. The industrial activities and infrastructure that are still prominent, are a unique asset for the future. The city and its outskirts are being revived by making room for innovative manufacturing activities, low-skilled jobs and a circular economy. Building new homes for a growing population is linked to the preservation and enhancement of the urban economy and industry. Brussels and Flanders are pioneers of a turnaround in the European urban development and planning: from the post-industrial city to the productive city.” 3
ASSIGNMENT ‘Circular BXL’ is a complex and challenging architectural studio assignment, in which architecture students 1) research the architectural and urban identity of a very large existing logistic building (TIR building C - 150 m long - 70 m wide - 4 floors) 2) choose and define a personal vision within the broader theme of circularity 3) translate this vision into a masterplan/strategy/program for a circular Hub for Brussels 4) materialize this masterplan/strategy/program in an architectural design for the TIR building C. During this process, the students could profile not only themselves, but also their social and spatial engagement within their architectural thinking. A sensible reading of the site can in this way lead towards answers which are circular and sustainable in an inclusive way. In this case it’s not only about the social, ecological or spatial aspects of the location, but also, about a ‘total’ solution which is closely connected to the ‘place’ and offers a solution for as much needs as possible. The fact is that the solution is often already present on site - le déjà là - and that only a small effort is enough to bring forward a useful way of re-using the place as it is. This is an important insight that this exercise can give to the students. They can practice the ability to see the different structural and functional layers of the building/site and learn to understand its specific character. Through research by design, step by step the essence of the place is exposed. By doing this, coming to a sensitive and context-bound design becomes possible. Nonetheless, a modest, pragmatic and empathetic approach is necessary to come to this kind of spatial solutions.

INTRODUCTION From Context to Concept

INTRODUCTION
More than 100 years ago, centred around a large railway freight depot the Tour & Taxis district was build, as one big logistics centre with mainly warehouse and office use. Ever since it has been an important staging post for goods distributed all over the country, with direct links to the canal and rail network. Situated along Avenue du Port, it conceals a large part of the rest of the site behind it, covering a total area of 30 hectares. After the Tour & Taxi district was abandoned at the end of the last century, SNCB Belgian National Railways and the Port of Brussels sold the site to private companies that developed new activities such as mobility, housing, economcal use and infrastructure in addtion to greater visualizations and integrations with the city. TIR, which stands for International Road Transport, is a Logistics Center and a storage complex located inside the Tour & Taxi district with a total of 160,000 m² of area serving mainly for distributing goods aswell as providing storage and logistics. Through this the TIR building provides space for companies aiming on development and groth increase that do not have an adequate warehouse or storage area yet within short disance reach inside Brussels. Currently the site is now connected to the waterway via a platform in the Vergote Basin, allowing the transfer of goods from the water to the road. With a large number of companies, the warehouse has the capacity to adapt to the needs of customers with spaces ranging from 75 to 10 000 m². This numeric image of flexibility in squaremeters though is beeing created through a complex arangement of interlocked spaces that lead to constrains in logistic effectivness. Additional security, logistic and facility uses add to this complexity. They form various small dead spaces that are beeing scatterd on the building’s inside forming further vacuums inside an already perforated cheese of companies. The goal of this work is to rehabilitate the TIR building in such a way that it reaches its maximum potential. TIRs industrial related strongly identity creates the potential to reflect on economy in general. An increase in use density frees former occupied spaces making it possible to offer more than just a logistics and storage center, but a new concept that invites different types of interests, such as everyday people, workers, companies, and investors. Thereby this large built area has the potential to become a catalyst it’s neighborhood. The buildings proposal meets and heals the needs of a new circular economy system through conscious consumption and manufacturing.

In its combination of two terms, Circular Economy f luctuates between economical and sustainable groups of interest. Our research found the fullest potential of Circular Economy in a transformative recalibration of our current status, where waste from one company turns into resources for another company. In the aim of uncovering f lows and links between products to be further connected in form of a circle, an analysis of economical branches turned out to be essential. The concept thereby recognizes the importance of economy functioning at any scale, for large and small businesses, for organizations and individuals, globally and locally. Through this broad scope of application, endless opportunities to rethink and redesign the way we produce today, occur. In the beginning of the concept phase the area around our building of study had to be limited in a way to achieve a more precise focus on the surrounding, considering the companies and establishments of the neighborhood as well as those that are installed within. Since the reduction of transportation time is crucial to the establishment to sustainability a method of space and time synchronization was created. By delimiting a pocket of interest, according to different ways of transportation, by foot, by bike, by car/truck and public transportation, the connectivity of those ways with our building is taken into account. This left us with an amorphous circumference of constant connectivity. In addition, it is also emphasizing products from the region, facilitating transportation in general. In the next step a localization and categorization of companies and establishments within and around the building was performed. After all this information was collected, examples of existing and circular economies, which earlier had been determined as promising, were used to link it. In the last concept phase new circles of economy, based on both these examples and the categorization of local companies, were created. The design phase is built on the foundation of research done previously. After different companies for potential economic circles had been selected, the missing links were identified. A blank canvas approach enabled us to integrate those missing links in an adaptable way for future change inside the building of interest. Taking into account the present organization of the building, a vertical division into two parts was performed: Upper Part - An improved and automatized warehouse-system on f loor two and three, for a continuous use of the viaduct on the street side, secures the economical profit of the existing companies inside the building. Lower Part - A free placement of small scale buildings on f loor one, each defined by a single use, that connect circular, for an inauguration of circular economy to public consciousness, breaks the grid of the building. By these changes we aim for an economical and sustainable balance of interests to take appropriate justice towards the term Circular Economy. 17

In this Circle Figure, data elements are composed in a circular arrangement. The connection lines on the inside symbolize links between elements that are related. Through these connections different ecconomical branches are highleighted in there potential in forming a circular economy relationship with each other. With different types of bussines branches that have the potential to form a circular economy relationship. The table‘s visual representation can be simplified by using a ribbon to encode two branches. Creating one ribbon for (A,B) and (B,A), to show the relation with both. A gap betwen the ribbon and the letter idicates an unidirectional relationship, if there is no gap, it’s a two way relationship. The percentages on the outside show the diversity of each categor y. That means that the percentages are highest for the categor ys that could potentialy form the most connections. In this way the visualization was decisive in the choice of categories we would dictate as new uses getting introduced insite the building.

RULES OF DESIGN
EXPLAIN THE CONTENT Giving a strong identity to the depicted functions in terms of form language highlights their uniqueness as an important part of a greater machine. It also a contrary approach to the former elements or repetition. This creates points of orientation within the dissolved floorplan, contrary to the former approach of repeated elements. [ ICONOGRAFIE + EXTROVERSION + CHARACTER ]
REUSE THE OLD By following the concept of cirular economy the topic of sustainability reaches a high importance on our general approach of design. Applying transformation instead of change allows us to percieve TIR Building as a material bank. A closed microcosmos which changes itself from the inside. [ % REUSED MATERIAL ]
BREAK THE FORMER Out approach of introducing a new concept of function requires a certain distance towards the current state of organisation. This conceptual distance needs to be manifested in spacial distance towards the existing structure. [ INDEPENDENT OF EXISTING STRUCTURE ]
ALTERNATE THE NORM Introducing a new concept through the renoucment of the former spatial organization.By making the changes that occur both on the buildings inside and outside visibil of we highlight a new resignification of use. [ INDEPENDENT OF EXISTING ORGANIZATION ]
DICECT THE CIRCLE The alteration of general public perception takes part in dissecting the otherwise hidden flows of production in a percievable notion. Simplifieing the circles into their main function increases their educational potential. [ DEPICT A SPECIFIC USE ]
36
RULES OF DESIGN
MACRE THE MICRO Make the scale and use of the building compatible to the sustainability pocket’s size.Through this we achieve a multidimensional compatibility with the proposed circularity on the levels neighborhood, context, and size that forms a homogeneus conntection through it’s surrounding. [ FIT TO SIZE OF THE POCKET ]
SHARE THE COMMON Share the same technical system, set of pipes, cables and devices for the transportation of water, gas, electricity and communications. The goal is to simplify and create a standard without the possibility of more than one solution for different uses. Flexibility through standartizations. [ APPLY TO GERNERAL TECHNICAL SYSTEM ]
DEFINE THE DIFFERENCE Reactivate the curiosity of the spectators when entering the space. Make highlight and create a identity for each use. Present the space in an understandable and educational way, to increase its potential of influencing a public perception on cicularity. [ MARK YOUR ZONE ]
FUCK THE RULES If and only if, the quality of concept and idea overweights the general reqirnment of rules, you may overturn them. A set of rules can never be defined preciesly enough, to take justice to every facet of complexity. [ DO NOT BLOCK EMERGANCY EXITS ]

Represent a high occurrence in the circularity pocket with the potential to create multiple links for the circular economy. The spacial separating of different uses enables other companies in sharing them. The latest technological achievements in terms of prototype fabrication like 3D printing and Lasercutting open up design freedom for a wider range of people. The current limitation on plastic materials for affordable machines keeps this potential freedom practically at in a frozen state. Through the introduction of a 3D Printing space, we open up this freedom to a wider range of people. A positive side-effect is also the newly gained possibility to replace complex shapes which makes repair more convincing instead then replacement.
