1010 Architecture Urbanism

Spatial development vision for BUDA, a historic industrial area in the valley of the Zenne and Woluwe rivers; on the borders of Brussels, Vilvoorde, and Machelen. Famous for its glorious industrial past, notorious for its brownfields and the grey economy, beloved for its historic industrial architecture and the thriving urban nature. The spatial development vision outlines the framework for the reconversion of the area, with a robust ecological framework, a connectivity structure that makes space for a modal shift, and an increase in spatial efficiency for economic activities. The development plan strikes a balance between vision and pragmatism, offering policymakers and private initiators a lever to get started.
