A Vertical Limit to the Park. Platforms for Living . Brussels
Alberto Rossini
A large green area, historically used as a cemetery, is slowly shrinking due to Brussels chaotic commercial and industrial development. To preserve this historic settlement, and following examples of Northern European cemeteries, the cemetery has been redesigned as a public park for the city. A strong architectural gesture signals this urban void. A Tower. Building vertically allows one to reduce the footprint of the intervention. The tower is composed of platforms that are inhabited according to the different needs of the users through time, allowing ever-changing spaces and activities.
Although the given structure has a precise set of measures, the use of each individual platform is open and adaptable.
