Tour d’horizon du quartier dit Bockstael et ses places publiques à investir avec Christophe des architectes Suède 36 (Parc Pte de Ninove, guingettes, …). Comment allons-nous rendre ces espaces attractifs, vivants, habitables et conviviaux? En anglais ça s’appelle placemaking: La Place E. Bockstael, le Parvis Notre-Dame avec leur potentiel évident, la place devant le Palais de Justice de Paix, la place devant la belle école rues Thys-Vanham/Jacobs-Fontaine, le Jardin Station rue Champ de L’Eglise, la rue Laneau… Devant l’école primaire Steyls nous avons rencontré deux habitants qui s’y sont pris par la force de leur propre bonne volonté et contre les résistances en construisant des clôtures autour des arbres. Ils veulent pouvoir s’asseoir sur une belle place et même, être chez eux à la maison sans odeurs d’excréments qui pénètrent le couloir.
Pour une prochaine étape Christophe nous fera part de ses impressions et suggestions.

Gisterenavond wandelden we van plein tot pleintje in de wijk geheten Bockstael, met Christophe van Suède 36 architecten (Park Ninoofsepoort, Guingettes, …). Hoe maken we die publieke plekken attractiever en levendiger met ruimte voor contact? In het Engels is er een term voor zo’n proces: placemaking. Het E. Bockstaelplein, de Parvis OLV Van Laken met hun evidente mogelijkheden, het pleintje voor het Vredegerecht, het pleintje voor de mooie Steyls-school (Thys-Vaham/Jacobs-Fontaine), de Jardin Station op de brug van de Kerkeveldstraat, de Laneaustraat…
Voor de basisschool Steyls ontmoetten we twee bewoners die op eigen houtje en tegen de weerstanden in afsluitingen rond bomen hebben gemaakt omdat ze rustig willen kunnen buitenzitten, en ook binnen in huis in de gang geen geur van hondenpoep willen ruiken.
Christophe geeft ons binnenkort zijn suggesties door.

Adjoining the Royal Estate, opposite the Church of our Lady of Laeken with its cemetery, the Square of the 21 July does not only commemorate the Belgian national day, but is above all dedicated to the memory of Queen Astrid, tragically lost in a car accident in 1935.
A statue of the queen was placed in the rotunda of the remarkable monument with its neoclassical colonnades.
