8 Brigittines Chapel Rue des Brigittines 1 The chapel of the Brigittines, built in 1663, lies in a critical point in the urban fabric of Brussels Closed between the railway and the Marolles neighbourhood, the old monument appeared dominated by the tall apartment building standing behind it, which annihilated its monumentality and undermined its historical and artistic value The new extension thus replicates the lines and geometry of the existing chapel It counterposes to its mass a light structure which valorises the identity of the old building The doubled volume looks like a simplified image of the church, where the fundamental constructive elements are systematically replicated Between the two a third element, sculptural in nature, functions as the?trait d?union? between the original materiality of the façade and its modern negation This interstitial void between the two built volumes is the place to understand the entire organisation of the building 2008 Andrea Bruno Nazar 8

9 Vanhaerents Rue de la Senne 36 This 40 apartments building in downtown Brussels was commissioned by a real estate developer The building is part of an ensemble of 3 existing building with very different characteristics and is situated between 3 streets (Fabriques/Senne/Anneessens) The surrounding existing buildings are very motley, regarding heights, functions, typologies The project proposed to enhance the neoclassical building in order to restore the urban order by joining the size of the building next door This raise consists of a dark volume, reminder of the new building located at the opposite corner of the complex and of the central part enhances The new parts are therefore designed with a specific expression of unification of the complex They are identified by the color black, while a series of elements (balconies, volumes, buildings) transplanted / reported, from different sizes, colors and scales, animate / complete / consolidate this portion of the hétéroclite building block 2010 Lhoas & Lhoas es Nazar 9
