About
The site for the Ursulines Square is situated on the first part of the junction between the north and south railway stations that has been a traumatic intervention in the urban fabric of Brussels for over a decade.
In addition to this symbolic connection to the city, the square is close-knit into its complex environment: The Brigittines Chapel, a social housing building, The Marolles…
The project as a whole manifests itself as a process of reappropriating urban space. Several actors were mobilized to participate in this process: the BRUSK collective, Recyclart, IBGE/BIM (Brussels Environment), the landscape architects and the inhabitants.
Two young landscape architects, Bjorn Gielen and Floris Steyaert, were selected through an ideas competition and became a part of L’Escaut, further developing the project in collaboration with BRUSK.
A number of informative sessions with the neighbours, workshops with prospective users, and skateboard classes for kids were organized.
