[CALL] KLAVERTJE 4

[CALL FOR INTEREST]

A SCHOOL ESPLANADE FOR CYCLING

 

Along Heliport Avenue, opposite the social housing of the Foyer Laekenois, there are the Dutch-speaking Klavertje Vier elementary school and a communal nursery. Both located in the curve of the avenue, their visibility is severely limited. In addition, the width of the road invites car drivers to drive fast, making crossing for pedestrians unsafe. Finally, there are public squares and parks in the surrounding area, but they lack cosiness, framing and activity.

It is in this context that a redevelopment of the esplanade in front of the Klavertje Vier school is being considered. The aim: to make the school more visible, to give it a more accessible and user-friendly image while improving road safety and air quality. In addition, this new square should encourage meetings and interaction between the inhabitants of the district. Another objective is to raise awareness among the target audience, children, about cycling as a fun activity, using facilities like for instance a bicycle repair point.

The mission also includes the design and implementation of a generous new physical connection between the school square and the plinth of the buildings of the Foyer Laekenois, which will be the future main access to new activities on this plinth.

MISSION AND SKILLS

The City of Brussels is looking for a multidisciplinary team to develop the school square, which will become a playful meeting place between the primary school and the nursery on one side and the buildings of the Foyer Laekenois on the other side of Avenue Héliport.
The design team must be able to demonstrate its experience in designing public spaces in relation to mobility and must be familiar with a participatory working method, especially with young children and a school audience. The city will pay particular attention to the team’s sensitivity to sustainable development.

It should be noted that the Klavertje Vier school has been selected to be part of the new urban renewal programme “School Contracts” developped by the School Service of perspective.brussels , a regional programme aimed at strengthening interaction between schools and their neighbourhood. The development of this square is the first and thus pilot project to be developed under this programme. The ambitions are therefore high and the construction of the school square must be able to lead towards a new approach for school surroundings. In addition, this redevelopment must be coordinated with the many projects underway under CRU 1 (Foyer Laekenois plinth, Maximilien Park, etc.).

The minimum skills required are as follows:
– Design of public spaces
– Mobility
– Sustainable development
– Communication, consultation and participation

[CALL] MAISON DU PEUPLE

[CALL FOR PROJECT DESIGNERS]

A CULTURAL HERITAGE SITE FOR ALL

 

 The ambition to preserve and reactivate a social and cultural heritage site initiated the wish to renovate the former workers’ cooperative, the Maison du Peuple in Anderlecht. The organisation of its 3 spaces, the Maison du Peuple (People’s House), the Salle des Fêtes (Party Room), and the Magasin Général (General Store), around the open space aims to reconnect with its original public-oriented uses.

On the Chaussée de Mons, the Maison du Peuple will host various social activities (bar, multi-purpose hall, etc.). At the heart of the site, the Salle des Fêtes and the Magasin Général, turned to face the canal, will host productive and economic activities such as a wood and metal workshop, various spaces for enterprises and associations, and a micro-brewery. In order for these activities to be visible, the open spaces will allow for interaction with the public. The installation of ten houses completes the mission.

To implement this mixed and ambitious project, the cooperative “Anderlecht Moulart” is seeking a multi-disciplinary team. Important focal points of the project are the site’s development linked with its context and its history, the promotion of employment and local integration opportunities, and the choice of materials with a low environmental impact.
This project is part of the “Gare de l’Ouest” Urban Renovation contract and the 2017-2020 Urban Policy programme.

 

BUDGET: €4,014,000 Excl. VAT
FEES: The fee is set at 13% excluding VAT of the amount of the work calculated on the basis of the estimate to be made at the moment of tendering the contractors.
GRANT: €4,000 awarded to each of the 3 to 5 teams invited and submitting a regular bid. This amount is considered a fee advance for the winner.

The bouwmeester maître architecte accompanies the procedure of the project and will take part in the selection committee and the advisory committee.
