For more than forty years, the Reyers Tower has been a landmark in the landscape of eastern Brussels. Located on the boulevard Reyers, it houses RTBF and VRT technical equipment, whose antennas can be seen on the platform running at a height of more than 70m. The planned relocation of the television stations, the technological changes that this entails as well as, more generally, the development of the new\u00a0Mediapark.brussels district mean that the tower, its presence and function in the district need to be reconsidered.<\/p>\n
As coordinator of the Mediapark development, the Soci\u00e9t\u00e9 d’Am\u00e9nagement Urbain (SAU) wishes to study different scenarios for the conversion of the tower and to analyse its programmatic, technical and financial features. The SAU is therefore seeking an architect to investigate redevelopment opportunities for the tower, integrated into the M\u00e9diapark, in connection with “Block A”, in order to have a more accurate framework for future operations on the block and on the tower.<\/p>\n
The mission will be carried out in three phases. The first is to analyse the current technical features of the tower. Next, two reconversion scenarios will have to be thought up and studied. Finally, a preferred scenario will be developed on the basis of the first two phases. The mission will have to provide the UAS with the necessary elements to facilitate the setting up of the project with future partners, and also provide sufficient elements to enable it to organise the future architectural missions.<\/p>\n
The mission described above constitutes the binding part of the contract. The UAS plans to possibly extend the mission being studied, by the partial demolition of the VRT building to allow for the development of “Block B” (conditional phase)<\/p>\n
