The "Uncanny"1 (1919)

It is only rarely that a psychoanalyst feels impelled investigate the subject of aesthetics even when aesthetics isunderstood to mean not merely the theory of beauty, but the theory of the qualities of feeling. He works in otherplanes of mental life and has little to do with those subdued emotional activities which, inhibited in their aims anddependent upon a multitude of concurrent factors. usually furnish the material for the study of aesthetics. But it doesoccasionally happen that he has to interest himself in some particular province of that subject; and then it usuallyproves to be a rather remote region of it and one that has been neglected in standard works.

The subject of the "uncanny" is a province of this kind. It undoubtedly belongs to all that is terrible-to all thatarouses. dread and creeping horror; it is equally certain, too, that the word is not always used in a clearly definablesense, so that it tends to coincide with whatever excites dread. Yet we may expect that it implies some intrinsic

DITHYRAMBES

Hymnes chantés par un chœur d’hommes dirigé par un coryphée ; dialogues dramatiques construits sur l’alternance de strophes et d’an-tistrophes entonnées par ce chef de chœur et ses choristes ; préludes probables à la tragédie grecque ; originellement adressés à Dionysos, celui qui avait cette capacité « à brouiller sans cesse les frontières de l’illusoire et du réel, à faire surgir brusquement l’ailleurs ici-bas, à nous déprendre et nous dépayser de nous-mêmes »1 ; poèmes ly-riques, extasiés, impétueux, irréguliers ; plus communément louanges enthousiastes, voire excessives, les DITHYRAMBES sont aujourd’hui aussi des Plaisirs d’Architecture !

Telle est la proposition de cette troisième édition de [Re]Nouveaux Plaisirs d’Architecture !

R.N.P.A.#3, c’est une EXPOSITION à la fois foisonnante et accessible qui présente la production d’une sélection de 9 jeunes bureaux d’architecture et architectes œuvrant en Belgique, sélec-tionnés par un commissaire, Pablo Lhoas. R.N.P.A.#3, c’est l’exposition de plus de 120 documents d’architecture commentés et organisés selon 45 thématiques aussi variées que « superslick », « eschatologie », « occlusion », « passage à l’acte », « changer le monde », « corps caverneux », « néo-art nouveau », « processus », « structure », « exotiques », « géométrie », « domesticité », « cen-taure », « néo-rétro-fonctionnalismes »… R.N.P.A.#3, c’est un véritable cabinet de curiosités architectural, une variation sur un atlas mnémosyne de près de 100 mètres de long.

R.N.P.A.#3, c’est également un OUVRAGE CHORAL qui fait écho à cette production et à l’exposition de celle-ci par le biais d’entre-tiens, de contributions graphique et scénographique originales, de textes d’architectes, de critiques, d’historiens, d’enseignants, de maître d’ouvrage sur ces 9 pratiques.

R.N.P.A#3, c’est aussi un AGENDA reprenant une série de ren-contres, de débats et de festivités autour de l’exposition, autant d’occasions plus ou moins formelles de réfl échir, discuter, débattre de l’architecture émergente à Bruxelles et en Wallonie. Podium précoce pour une architecture inventive, ces dithyrambes, ces louanges enthousiastes à propos de ces jeunes architectes reconnaissent aussi, par défi nition, leurs accointances potentielles avec l’excès. Puisque l’architecture qui est présentée ici est celle qui comptera incontestablement demain. Ou peut-être pas.

Initié par le CIVA (Centre International pour la Ville, l’Archi-tecture et le Paysage) et hortence (Laboratoire Histoire Théorie Critique de la Faculté d’Architecture de l’ULB), [Re]Nouveaux Plaisirs d’Architecture est un projet culturel qui met à l’honneur la créativité et l’originalité d’une certaine frange de l’architecture contemporaine en Fédération Wallonie-Bruxelles. Favorisant et valorisant le pluralisme des expressions architecturales, renouant avec une conception de pertinence sociale de l’architecture, défen-dant, enfi n, l’expérimentation, R.N.P.A. revendique l’importance de l’inscription de l’architecture dans le champ culturel.

Après la présentation de « 12 fi gures de l’architecture émergente en Communauté française Wallonie-Bruxelles » (parmi lesquelles V+, Ledroit Pierret Polet, ou encore MSA) (R.N.P.A.#1 – 2005), après avoir « Jouer avec les règles » autour de la production de 6 jeunes bureaux d’architecture (dont AgwA, Baukunst – Adrien Verschuere ou Nicolas Firket Architects) (R.N.P.A#2 – 2007), cette troisième édition de [Re]Nouveaux Plaisirs d’Architecture met à l’honneur le travail de 9 bureaux d’architectes émergents.

so, why reintroduce economic activity into the city?Understanding the mutual shift of city and economic activity, the reasons for reintroducing a real cohabitation between both are becoming more and more obvious:

1. Reintroducing industry and logistics into the city centre can help reduce transport costs.

2. It will subsequently help reduce CO2 emissions.

3. For a city like Brussels, it will help create new job opportunities for low qualified sectors.

4. In a service-based economy, where everything is expected to be availbale immediately, industry and logistics in the city centre can help arrange proximity services.

AN ILLUSTRATED NARRATIVE ON ECONOMY AND CITY

Industry, logistics… Urban condition

Paul Rand, design for Ford company

Increasing land prices, traffic and spatial incompatibilities have progressively rid the city of economic activity. But it has not com-pletely disappeared, it has shifted in shape or found more fruitful ground further on the outskirts of the city.

Industrial activity poses several major constraints. It needs distance because of the various disturbances it causes.

It needs considerable space and infrastructure to operate.

It relies on quantity and generates fluxes different from the city.

a cOmplEx and cOntEmpORaRy QuEstiOn

The subject of the 2012 Brussels Master Class “RE:WORK Making Place for Industry, Logistics, and Wholesale in Brussels” is a complex one. Not only does it question how and where we can find space within the city for industrial activities but also how these activities can cohabit with urban programmes in a productive and pleasant way. Look-ing at urban developments in the last century it is clear that a truly fruitful cohabitation between economy and city never fully arose. Industrial activities were simply tolerated, up until the point where they left the city centre, giving way to the postindustrial model and moving towards the friendly city, ulti-mately leaving all attempts at cohabita-tion behind. But with industrial produc-tion and urban environments shifting in shape, scale, and culture, the issue of cohabitation is yet again on the table.The master class aims at finding ways to create a new relationship between the ‘friendly city’ and the ‘machines’, between the city as we know it and the industry as we need it. This will be one of the great challenges for the 21st cen-tury European city model, and Brussels is a good place to take it on. Of course, expecting a two-week master class to fully dissect this relationship would be as illusory as expecting a new

cohabitation between city and industry to emerge without friction, the risk be-ing to fall into simplistic and naïve an-swers such as constant hybridisation to smoothen it all. Thus, the master class, and the projects that are presented in this publication, do not pretend to offer a unique solution. They merely start to build a database of innovative and pragmatic proposals, ideas that can be further debated and developed by dif-ferent stakeholders.

thE sitE as pREtExtFive sites, located in and around the centre of Brussels, were selected for the master class: Reyers, Quai Demets, Neder-Over-Hembeek, Da Vinci, and Batelage. Each site is large, complex, and highly strategic for the future development of Brussels. Several sites, like Quai Demets or Batelage, have wit-nessed numerous projects and propos-als come and go already. The five sites were chosen as relevant territories for implementing or strengthening econom-ic activities within the city. For the mas-ter class, they were used as pretexts for initiating new relationships between economy and the city: instead of trying to resolve every aspect of the site, the students concentrated on exploring one type of relationship per site, allow-ing a maximum amount of solutions to emerge all while being site specific.

Knowing the added value that the coexistence of economic activity and city can create the question is now: how can we make place for economic activity within the city with-out compromising the “friendliness”? It is a very complex challenge that can not be summarized into simple directives. We need to seek for new ways and scales of coexistence and coproduction, finding the right relationships between the urban and the economy.This can only be achieved by playing simultaneously on the urban and on the architectural scale.

Industry and logistics can serve the city.There are certainly many more reasons, some of which shine through the results of the master class.

Although the term is relatively unknown in Brussels, research-by-design is common practice today among Brussels ar-chitects and urbanists, whether practitioners or students. In fact, this method of representing and researching po-tentialities within a given territory was already explored through multiple initiatives, such as “Studio Open Stad”, a joint studio of several Belgian architecture schools explor-ing development possibilities on the borders of the Canal, in 1998; “Vacant City”, a cultural initiative on the becoming of Brussels’ Mont des Arts, in 2001; “A Vision for Brussels”, a research by the Berlage Institute on the urban challenges inherent to the implementation of the European institutions in Brussels, in 2007; or more recently in 2012, “Brussels 2040”, an institutional initiative questioning the develop-ment possibilities of Brussels according to interaction with its hinterland. These four initiatives show a clear evolution and opening-up towards research-by-design in Brussels, as well as increasing recognition of its major potentialities for the reflexion on city making.

The master class “RE:WORK, Making Place for Indus-try, Logistics, and Wholesale in Brussels” is fully inscribed in this methodology, allowing both to explore a territory for potentialities in respect to certain programmes (in this case programmes of economic activity) and to explore a range of new ideas and theoretical concepts by applying them on projects which will remain fictional.

Furthermore, it is the second International Master Class organised under this legislature by the Brussels-Capital

accommodation above the warehouse space. Rather than seek to set these two functions apart, the group tried to see how public spaces could be cre-ated between the two types of use and development programmes. For instance, a logistical loading zone in the daytime could become a car park for residents at night. The typologies proposed for these blocks do not involve demolishing the existing structures. On the contrary, the group stresses the relevance of redevel-oping these blocks as land and property opportunities arise. Here, as elsewhere, the group wants to highlight accept-ance of the fragmented and autonomous nature of the individual elements of the master plan.

Finally, the group also emphasises the interest of reusing the postmodern built heritage alongside the E40 motorway. Rather than go down the path of demo-lition and reconstruction, it suggests adapting these buildings to new devel-opment needs and new environmental constraints and redefining the surround-ing public space. In particular, converting the E40 motorway into a parkway makes

it possible to build residential dwellings in this “Postmodern Museum”, again demonstrating the diversity of form that the ZEMU could take.

How do you give new meaning to a site that offers good accessibility and significant built-up areas, but which embodies the declining and fragmented image of the Belgian welfare state? Given the uncertainty hovering around the de-velopmental future of the site, the group has tried to strengthen the intrinsic urban and landscape qualities by emphasising the potential offered by the existing green spaces and buildings. How do you trans-form an enclosed green space in the cen-tre of the area into an urban park? How do you introduce a blend of residential and industrial into the two large blocks of land located to the east of the site? How do you reallocate antiquated office buildings situated alongside the entrance to the motorway? Those are the questions that the group investigated during the master class by identifying the four component-projects of an ambitious master plan for Reyers that meets the desire to define a good quality and dynamic ZEMU for the Brussels-Capital Region.

Rather than go down the path of demo-lition and reconstruction, it suggests adapting these buildings to new devel-opment needs and new environmental constraints and redefining the surround-ing public space. In particular, converting the E40 motorway into a parkway makes

it possible to build residential dwellings in this “Postmodern Museum”, again demonstrating the diversity of form that the ZEMU could take.

How do you give new meaning to a site that offers good accessibility and significant built-up areas, but which embodies the declining and fragmented image of the Belgian welfare state? Given the uncertainty hovering around the de-velopmental future of the site, the group has tried to strengthen the intrinsic urban and landscape qualities by emphasising the potential offered by the existing green spaces and buildings. How do you trans-form an enclosed green space in the cen-tre of the area into an urban park? How do you introduce a blend of residential and industrial into the two large blocks of land located to the east of the site? How do you reallocate antiquated office buildings situated alongside the entrance to the motorway? Those are the questions that the group investigated during the master class by identifying the four component-projects of an ambitious master plan for Reyers that meets the desire to define a good quality and dynamic ZEMU for the Brussels-Capital Region.
