In Brussels’ urban landscape, many buildings testify to a city in constant transformation, where uses evolve without entirely erasing the memory of places. Adaptive reuse has therefore become a central issue for contemporary heritage and the urban landscape.
This route explores buildings that have been reinvented, such as the former Patinoire de Bruxelles, as well as other industrial, sports or functional buildings that have become cultural, residential or hybrid spaces. Reuse questions our relationship with heritage and landscape: preserve, transform, reinvent? How can the memory of a place be integrated into its new identity?
Through this attentive reading, Brussels appears as a living landscape in constant change, where each reuse adds a new layer to urban history.
