Programme
Walk
The metropolitan network, a living and connecting space that has shaped Brussels from the 1960s to the present day
Let Brussels Mobility’s Art & Architecture team take you on a voyage of discovery of the Brussels metro and pre-metro network (Bourse – Grand-Place/Beurs – Grote Markt, Anneessens, Gare du Midi/Zuidstation, Arts-Loi/Kunst-Wet, Botanique/Kruidtuin, Rogier), which has shaped Brussels since the 1960s and continues to do so. We will tell you how the stations work and what makes them special, focusing on the iconic artworks and the specific materials and fittings, as well as technical issues. Finally, we will discuss the major urban challenges addressed, both past and present.
In cooperation with Brussels Mobility.
