54 Within a rigid grid, one repeated element creates a multiplicity of spaces, situations, and relations.
120% Brussels International Master Class Antonio MINTO (IT) Sophie Mélix (DE) Proposal 2A In this project, density is reached by introducing a new rigid grid into the existing city structure. This grid opens up new perspectives throughout the block. It is very dense and made up of one single typology. Nevertheless, the positioning of the element in the grid creates a variety of outside spaces. The density and diversity of spaces is emphasized by different building heights throughout the grid. Where the grid reaches the outline of the site, the buildings are adapted to create exceptional situations. Hereby the typology is transformed along the existing streets and the new structure is emphasized due to the introduction of a new geometry. Other exceptional situations are formed where the grid is confronted with the existing buildings. The essence of the proposal is an investigation on the “grain” of density, as it does not at all imply the construction of gigantic buildings and large squares. Hence the buildings are compacted and multiplied on the site, so the public space surrounding them in its turn becomes sufficiently continuous to be perceived as one polymorph entity of smaller sub-spaces. The result is a vivid and compact neighborhood where public space creates a multiplicity of situations on building scale and a continuity on the neighborhood scale. Density: 351.6 dwellings/ha Building Height: 3–8 floors Ground floor: housing
