114 A strong perimeter isolates a dense yet intimate urban fabric, reconciling different scales of the city.
120% Brussels International Master Class David de KOOL (NL) Filippo PIOVENE (IT) Proposal 5D This plan deals with the relation of neighborhood scale and city scale, which is here related to the question of the inside and the outside of a huge block in the suburbs of Brussels. The proposal makes a clear distinction between its relation to the city and its inner organisation as a dense, compact neighborhood. The outside perimeter of the block extends the existing northern frontage of row houses to form a border of public program consisting of the redesigned supermarket, along with new shops of different sizes, offices, some bars and restaurants, and parking. A thin, translucent, fence-like building on the two sides, this border becomes a robust mass in the south point of the triangular block. The infill is conceived out of back-to-back courtyard apartment buildings, bordering other buildings on all but one façade. Different typologies make the dwelling size vary from relatively small 80sqm layouts to enormous 300sqm apartments, all organized around one or more courtyards, creating an introverted and intimate residence. The new fabric is laid out to form a variation of defined urban spaces: a sequence of streets and squares, composing the canvas for a distinctive neighborhood. The neighborhood and the edge meet in different ways according the side of the block. The clash between the orderly layout of dwellings and the east perimeter generate a series of public squares and spaces of entrance, while the western border is in direct contact with the dwellings, themselves opening toward a larger public square. Density: 135.6 dwellings/ha Building Height: 3–4 floors Ground floor: Shopping mall/shops/ restaurants/bars/offices
