PLACE DE NINOVE
NINOVE STRATEGIC LOCATION
IMAGE 1 / Project Location Place de Ninove is one of the key places along Brussels’ Petite Centure that links the inner city with the
Canal. This gives the site a strategic position within
Brussels’ urban configuration. The project is located inside the perimeter of Ninoofsepoort; an area
that is about to face an important transformation
due to the up-coming project of Parc de Ninove.

Figure 1: Today
“Place de Ninove is one of the key places along the petite centure that links the inner city with the canal, which gives it a strategic position
within Brussels’ urban configuration. However, its spatial organization segmented in three long areas in combination with the non-qualitative
vegetable barrier on its northern side and the strong presence of car parking in the surroundings limit the visual relation and spatial integration
between the public space and the buildings around. This condition makes the square a place of transit instead one of permanence as well as
restricts the social presence and visibility”

SITE’S PREVIOUS CONDITIONS
IMAGE 2 / Project Challenges In spite of the strategic location of Place de Ninove,
the spatial organization of the square segmented
in three long areas (1) and the strong presence of
car parking in the surroundings (2) limited the visual relation and the spatial integration between
this public space and the buildings around (3). This
condition prevents the use of the space at its full
potential: it makes the square a place of transit instead one of permanence, affecting its visibility in
the Quartier.

PROJECT DEVELOPMENT
IMAGE 3 / Project Scheme
The request of intervening the site without requiring
an urbanism permit constitute one of the main challenges in the re-activation of this space. It was also
one of the potentials of the project since it required
a feasible action-oriented process and the effective establishment of the project priorities among all
the participants. Thus, the project consisted in a
physical intervention guided by a 6 months process
of five ateliers and several intermediate sessions
with the local inhabitants and other users of the
space. It allowed the participants to exchange their
experiences and knowledge in order to enrich the
project with different perspectives. At the same
time, an adoptive process of the site took place by
the users.

Three phases structured the entired project construction: Planning, Design & Project Development
and Construction Details. The last project phase
was featured by two closure events in which all the
participants could exchange their experiences as
collaborators.
The project documentation was a very important
part of the entire process. The question of how to
make the process more accesible, so participants
could learn from this experience, was responded
by means of a photographic record of each project
phase. In addition to this, the representation of Place de Ninove and the participants of the project in
a boardgame invited all to reflect on the construction process in a more playful and educational way.

CONCEPT DEVELOPMENT
1. Micro Landscapes
Furniture
The concept originated on the idea of having a series of ‘micro-landscapes’ (different-sized green
spots) in Place de Ninove (1). Then, the ideas of
a group of self-organized neighbors of Ninove and
the community of La Poudrière were incorporated,
also the future up-coming projects were taking
into account (2) as well as the results of the critical exercises about the potentials and weaknesses
of the project site (3). The concept of the project
was clear: to realize a central and convivial space
along the Petite Ceinture.

Since the budget allocated for constructing the project was limited, it was clear how to make a decision
about the design elements to incorporate to the site proposal. This means that those elements that serve the purpose of having a meeting place were given priority. In this sense, the site proposal counted on
120 cm
three main elements:
- Wooden Platforms (1) : flexible to programme with different kind of activities.
- Furniture (2) : as bancs and a pic-nic table, according to the suggestions of the neighbors.
- Bacs à fleurs (3): recycled from a location nearby and relocated in Place de Ninove with the support of
the CDQD, La Poudrière and Buurtwinkel. These 15 elements were further adopted by the kids of neighBac aux plantes
borhood who will take care of them, their plants and flowers during the year.
