The proposed project for the Canal Zone in Brussels, by Gerard Corominas, who is a student of the LaSalle Urban Studio, attempts to answer three themes at different scales.
1. The current inaccessibility for traffic in our study area, inside the ring. I propose to locate the circulation of the ring in our area on an underground level, this way a new avenue can enter the center of the city.
2. The lack of continuity between the neighborhoods on both sides of the ring.
The new ring tunnel allows a better relationship between the different neighborhoods. This way, we create the advantage to turn present parking space into green areas. The proposal to relocate the school makes it possible to redistribute the islands and to have higher continuity between the different districts.
3. The lack of relationship between the city and the canal
A pedestrian system along the channel is proposed. The borders of the canal will now meander and this way multiplies the surface on this waterfront. As this part of the city has a higher population of young people, the project wants to inject new facilities for younger people around the new canal system.
