The church of St. Clare in Jette, located along the Avenue Joseph De Heynlaan, is in an advanced state of deterioration and is no longer used for liturgical celebrations. Faced with this situation, the Bishopric of Mechelen-Brussels decided to demolish the church while maintaining a place of worship in the north of the municipality. The Church factory St. Clare, who owns the site, is therefore launching a feasibility study to examine the spatial and programmatic potential of the site as well as the technical and economic feasibility of developing a new church combined with a social programme.<\/p>\n
The context in which the existing church is situated is quite rich: one finds a mixture of there an extension to the Cit\u00e9 mod\u00e8le, a former garden city and a housing estate with bel-\u00e9tage flats. The surrounding urban fabric is therefore characterised by a wide variety of typologies and building heights.<\/p>\n
The assignment includes the following phases:
\n– Analysis of the site and diagnosis of the existing situation;
\n– Elaboration of development scenarios ;
\n– Elaboration of a memorandum defining the spatial and programming guidelines for the future development of the site.<\/p>\n
The contract holder will have to 1) define various development scenarios in compliance with the applicable urban planning regulations, 2) determine their location and volume on the site, and 3) assess their technical and economic feasibility in consultation with the accompanying committee in order to establish the spatial and programming guidelines for the future development of the site. The total duration of the assignment is estimated at 3 months.<\/p>\n
