Chatelain Square

Momentary association

About: Châtelain Square is a benchmark in the transformation of public space in Ixelles. The evolution of the mobility is a driver to sustain the affordance of this public space. Our proposition holds a dual challenge: permitting the locations' re-appropriation by users, while sustaining active mobility and daily functions, givingplants their rightful place in the city. Our proposition is affected by the lessons learned during covid, the need to propose new typology of public space that allow togetherness apart. The approach of a "canopy space", where new uses may install and deploy under the cover and protection of, as well as in the vicinity of, majestic trees. The XXL furniture customized for this site and made with Belgian wood propose a new modes of co existence between human and non human in the city.
