RUE DE LA LOI
TWO SETS OF CONTRADICTORY DEMANDS DEFINE THIS COMPETITION:
TO IMPROVE THE URBAN QUALITIES OF THE ALREADY CONGESTED RUE DE LA LOI BY
DOUBLING ITS DENSITY.
TO CREATE A NEW EUROPEAN QUARTER ON A SITE ALREADY OCCUPIED BY A CLASSICAL
EXAMPLE OF THE TRADITIONAL EUROPEAN CITY.
THE FIRST ISSUE IS MORPHOLOGICAL, THE SECOND SYMBOLIC.
TO ADDRESS THE MORPHOLOGY, WE INTRODUCE IN BRUSSELS THE ANCIENT EUROPEAN
TYPOLOGY OF THE ‘‘PORTICO’’, THE CLASSICAL EMBLEM OF THE ‘‘PUBLIC’’. IT FORMS A
SCREEN OF SHIFTED FOOTPRINTS THAT INTRODUCES IN THE CLAUSTROPHOBIC STREET
WALL OF THE RUE DE LA LOI A LATERAL DEPTH OF OPENINGS THAT DEFINES A LINEAR
POLITICAL SPACE, IF NOT AN AGORA. THE PORTICO IS ‘‘CAPPED’’ WITH FEDERATING ELEMENTS PARALLEL TO THE RUE DE
LA LOI THAT DEFINES A ““EUROPEAN”” AXIS.
AT RIGHT ANGLES TO THIS POLITICAL AXIS, HOUSING AND IN GENERAL, THE ““PRIVATE””, WILL BE ALIGNED
PERPENDICULAR TO THE STREET, SO THAT ITS BULK DOES NOT REINFORCE THE PRESSURE ON THE RUE DE LA LOI. AS
A SKYLINE, THE CONTRAST BETWEEN THE ‘‘EUROPEAN’’ AND THE ‘‘PRIVATE’’ ORIENTATION, REPRESENTS A PROTOTYPE
OF RETROACTIVE PLANNING THAT IS NOT BASED ON THE BRUTE POWER OF THE TABULA RASA, BUT THAT ACCEPTS
THE GIVENS OF CONTEXT TO AVOID THE STERILITY OF A NEW BEGINNING THAT TYPICALLY DEFINES ARTICULATIONS OF
POLITICAL SPACE FROM WASHINGTON’’S MALL TO THE FORBIDDEN CITY.
TO ADDRESS THE SYMBOLISM, WE IDENTIFY TWO EUROPEAN ““SITES”” OR INTERRUPTIONS, IN THE RUE DE LA LOI.
TOGETHER WITH THE EXISTING, EUROPEAN ENTITIES, THE FORM A SEQUENCE OF
EUROPEAN FRAGMENTS EMBEDDED IN THE EXISTING BRUSSELS SUBSTANCE.
TOGETHER THIS CHAIN OF FRAGMENTS OFFERS AN EXEMPLARY DEMONSTRATION OF
THE COMBINATION OF THE MODERNITY AND HISTORY WHICH IS THE ESSENCE OF THE
EUROPEAN PROJECT.
