# 01-312restructuring and extension of the Brugmann university hospital/ laeKen (Brussels) / 1994 / from 1999 (in progress) *

the Brugmann hospital is one of victor horta’s key works. designed and built between 1906 and 1923, it provides one of the finest examples in the world of pavilion-type hospital architecture, in the manner of the Barcelona hospital and many others. horta himself described the circumstances of its design and execu-tion at length in his memoirs. although the exuberance of art nouveau is virtually absent from the buildings, horta’s fiendishly clever virtuosity is very much present. clearly systematised, the construction details are no less inventive. perhaps, in its way, the stripping away of ostentatious ornamentation underlines the authority of the architectural composition. horta’s complete project was not fully built, and other architects intervened at the site before and after the architect’s death. these included henry lacoste, who built the Queen elisabeth medical foundation in 1933, pierre guillissen, who drew up plans for a small auditorium and some admin-istrative buildings in the 1970s, and claude goelhen and his associates, who designed the new psychiatric section in the same period. robert puttemans estab-lished, in two phases, the trauma and rehabilitation centre (ctr) starting in 1964 (converted in around 2000 by the architects hoet and minne), françoise Blomme and architects from the cerau office drew up the plans for the Queen fabiola children’s hospital and the new morgue, and architects from the urbat office built the new hospital kitchen and dining area. a small senology institute was added to the site in front of the ctr.

nevertheless, the site has retained the power of its original composition, although most of the hospital’s functions and technical and administrative management principles have obviously changed profoundly. the needs of a modern hospital were increasingly difficult to meet in the existing buildings. despite the presence of an extensive network of underground passageways, the pavilion approach created a number of problems. thus, in 1994, the centre public d’action sociale (public welfare centre) organised a restricted architectural competition for restructuring the entire site. curiously, with the exception of the site itself and the structure housing the disused chapel and former morgue at the north-west corner of the site, the authorities in Brussels did not see fit to list the constructions by horta and the other architects who worked on the hospital. the conditions of the 1994 competition, however, stipulated

244 245

that candidates should leave horta’s numerous interven-tions clearly legible, particularly with respect to the wing structure of the central complex, while consider-ably expanding the areas given to wards, offices and laboratories. in addition, the phased renovation was to take place without disturbing the operation of the hospital. finally, the former chapel and morgue could be put to other uses, but their listed elements had to be respected. philippe samyn solved the overall restructur-ing issue by proposing the installation of new buildings in the empty spaces left by the wings of horta and lacoste’s compositions, in such a way as to modify the original buildings as little as possible. Zinc cladding was chosen for the facades as it did not clash with the red and white brick bands of horta’s buildings. the relative neutrality of cleverly repeated architectural rhythms allowed for indispensable local adaptations. hospital rooms were fitted with balconies for increased comfort, which were well integrated with the vertical rhythm of the facades. the restoration of the chapel and morgue, and their conversion to conference rooms, were the subjects of lengthy discussions with the commission and the directorate for monuments and sites, to ensure that the legibility of the original design would be respected despite the inclusion of new features, notably adaptation to new construction standards concerning sound proofing, lighting and ventilation.

# 01-313restaurant for petrofina / etterBeeK (Brussels) / 1994 / 1995

this large town house in the leopold district was carefully renovated and restored by philippe samyn. it should be noted, as a matter of interest, that even the most prestigious of buildings can hold surprises. for example, the wall separating the former entrance for cars from the lobby itself was made of rammed earth. the architect obviously had to reinforce it, but he refused to pull it down. at the rear of the main building, the very simple structure of the restaurant roof takes the form of a catenary curve, this intervention providing the most obvious solution. the restaurant and its mezzanine, flooded with natural light, provide convivial meeting places. despite the strong presence of the new struc-ture, the architecture here has respected the majesty of the town house and has not attempted any misplaced rivalry. the state heritage office placed the renovation on its itinerary of historic buildings to visit in 2007.

simple translucent tents cover these two small service stations on either side of the Brussels-luxembourg motorway. the curved metallic structure and the joints of the tensioner system lend a remarkable lightness to the whole. following an unfortunate combination of circumstances (and architecture, it seems), a set of restaurants and shops, built by another author of the project and seen as ‘the gateway to the ardennes’, forms an unnecessarily monumental bridge between philippe samyn’s two structures, destroying the overall perception of the whole.

extension to the smithKline Beecham Biopharmacology research centre / rixensart (walloon BraBant province) / 1994–1996 / 1997–1999 / (headQuarters) / 1996

the architecture of this research centre – with its large exterior staircase reminiscent of the pompidou centre, large canopied corner, slightly curved roof, transparent interior spaces, atrium, bridges and duplexes – expresses the extreme complexity of the programme, highlighted still more by the asymmetry of the site plan. and yet each fragment of the composition is perfectly focused, with connections made by hinges and subtle shifts in the true modernist tradition. the structure, anchored by crosses in the middle of the facades, and without expansion joints, adapts to thermal movements. for the headquarters project, abutting a 12-metre-high embankment occupied by parking lots, philippe samyn has proposed a comb-like structure whose division of volumes, open and non-hierarchical layout and sightlines are reminiscent of the pro-posed development of the small industrial building at Klein willebroek (01-310). after examining the many variants of the layout, one can appreciate the unbiased manner in which the final draft of the project was drawn up. many of the structure’s characteristics can be seen again in philippe samyn’s later projects, such as the use of gangways and transversal vents, green roofs and solar chimneys.

this structure – with its almost palladian vocabulary, classical propor-tions and insistent symmetry – is a singular exception in the work of philippe samyn, which is generally driven by a freer perspective, despite his frequent marking of axes in his compositions (based as much as possible on the cardinal points of the compass). as implied by the architect and pierre loze, this was undoubtedly a challenge imposed by the circumstances, and under these conditions, the occasion for some clever interplay between modern and uncompromising sharpness, and the strictness of the structures and interior spaces, the palladian layout and facades and the use of right-angled triangles. thus, this ‘admin-istrative villa’ manages to avoid late-twentieth-century postmodernist mannerisms. the perfectly flat glass facades alternate with transparent and opaque elements, acid-etched to resemble stone. the impressive gardens are reminiscent of the french traditions of the seventeenth cen-tury, without falling into either grandiloquence or pastiche. the gardens and furniture were completely designed by the architect. more informa-tion can be found in rodolphe el-Khoury’s book, the cnp headquarters, princeton architectural press, 2003.

# 01-327reconstruction and development proJect for the crachet industrial site / frameries (hainaut province) / 1995

crachet colliery was decommissioned in 1960; in time, all Belgian coalmines suffered the same fate. the sin-gularity of the buildings, adjacent to the pithead frame and the inevitable slagheap, comes from the height of the slim concrete pillars supporting the workshops and offices in brickwork, and the slight recession of the construction’s wings. the brief for the reconstruction was to create a ‘scientific and technical forum’, which later became a ‘scientific theme park’, strongly oriented towards schools and young visitors. the project was partially built by Jean nouvel. philippe samyn’s project leaves the old structures visible behind a wooden curtain wall fitted with single-glazed windows that brings them all together. it also takes advantage of the site by creating a specific relationship between the old slagheap and the buildings. a solar chimney, which pen-etrates to the very bottom of the former mine, provides a degree of climate control.

# 01-330princess astrid hallat the heysel/ laeKen (Brussels) / 1995–1997 / 1998–1999

in 1935, the heysel plateau, located north-west of the greater Brussels area, was chosen by the Belgian government as a place for exhibitions, international and commercial trade fairs, theme parks, and so on. the same year, a world’s fair was held on the plateau. with the exception of the exhibition halls (grands palais) designed by Joseph van neck and his team, with assistance from the engineer louis Baes, most of the buildings were subsequently demolished. the site was developed in 1958 by some of the same architects who had worked on it in 1935. the team of robert puttemans, charles malcause and prudent laenen, with help from the engineer andré paduart, created, among other struc-tures, hall 11, a 450-metre-long steel and anodised aluminium structure. the rear of the new hall linked five of the seven halls from 1935 with two new ones. the front of hall 11 featured reception pavilions in Bakelite-coated wood, a small signal tower made of laminated wood and metal tie-rods, and above all, a featureless system of gates and barriers marking the secondary entrance from the chaussée romaine. some of the delivery vehicle entrances were also found on this side of the hall. the large parking areas on the other side of the chaussée romaine (which marked the boundary between the Brussels and flemish regions) was accessible only by steps that crossed the embank-ment separating them from the road, which one then had to cross to get to the exhibition halls.

the original competition called for a conference centre, however, this was considered to be ill timed by the site’s owners, who instead wanted to solve more basic problems to do with traffic and vehicular access to the halls. the large, triangular, hyperbolic paraboloid structure designed by philippe samyn masks nearly two-thirds of the north facade of hall 11. the shape of this large wing brings light to areas that otherwise would have remained in shade, and most service functions now take place beneath it. a wide warren-truss pedestrian bridge was built, whose upper section is made of wood. it is fully stressed, which means that every element in this variable-section structure is subjected to equal constraint, thanks to a gusset plate and pin construction designed by Blumer. the bridge connects the parking areas to the exhibition halls by crossing over the chaussée romaine, piercing the roof and then ending in the main axis of hall 11, beneath the small Kayser dome that supplies light to the junction point with hall 5. the bridge gives access to a group of new walkways leading to each of the halls in the complex. large laminated-wood beams support the hyperbolic paraboloid.

the entire structure corresponds to the theory of volume indicators. wind resistance is completed by a large hedge on the north-east side, and could have been further reinforced by the construction of a small hall to complete hall 11. a set of small ‘rooms’ created by ivy-covered latticework connects the lower part of the roof to the pavement along the chaussée romaine. interestingly, shortly after it was completed, the structure suffered a major collision. if it had been built in another fashion, it would not have survived.

situated on low load-bearing ground at the bottom of the lasne valley, this series of 624 parking places is built around an oval-shaped ring that is braced at each end. it was constructed to play a linking role between various departments within the company. a later pro-ject (01-530) provided an elegant solution for covering the access ramps. the reinforced concrete structure consists of strictly identical columns and beams resting on piles 16 metres deep. the ring shape ensures ven-tilation and natural light. the aesthetic of the structure has the strangeness of a painting by giorgio de chirico.

# 01-344proJect for an office Building at Brugge farm/ marloie (luxemBourg province) / 1996

designed for the walloon regional water and forestry office, this small octagonal office building is reminiscent of the cylindrical building for the Boulanger real estate company in waterloo (01-200), and of the medical school auditorium in anderlecht (01-270). Both were guided by a concern for refocusing the interior spaces and limiting circulation via a panoptic structural design. the composition is structured around a north-south axis and the canteen is built over the southern entrance. the building is made entirely of wood and the frame-work consists of beams and columns in laminated wood. user comfort is ensured by natural ventilation, the special attention given to soundproofing and the use of mirrors to reflect light onto the office ceilings.

this very simple little project for a service station is bisected by a walkway and covered with a curved roof resting on a trellis of beams. the design offers an elegant solution to the problem posed by lateral access from both sides, and could be built by the side of most secondary motorways.

# 01-351proJect for offices of the caisse congÉ du Bâtiment – vaKantiefonds Bouw (ccB-vfB)/ saint-gilles (Brussels) / 1997

the project is located along one of the roads in Brussels’ petite ceinture, in the immediate vicinity of the Bruxelles-midi railway station and flanked by two nineteenth-century buildings. one, a small hotel, is relatively plain, with a few modest and eclectic ele-ments. the other was built by leon suys around 1871 and is the superstructure of a former lock on the river senne, now a restaurant. its very assertive neoclassical language is reminiscent of the architecture of claude nicolas ledoux. for several decades, the offices of the Jeunesse ouvrière chrétienne (young christian workers) occupied the site. the proportions of philippe samyn’s project blend harmoniously with those of its neighbours, creating a calm space in the interior of the site. it makes use of elements that can serve both as solar protection and ‘light shelves’ for those parts of the building furthest from the facades. this system of reflectors appears in simpler form in several other samyn projects (michel-ange building, Brussels, 01-260; flagey building, ixelles, 01-251; Jan de nul company, aalst, 01-401).

# 01-352conversion and renovation of château groenhof/ malderen (antwerp province) / 1997–1998 / 1998–1999

this unique project is fully discussed in chapter 4. as with the platform roofs at leuven railway station, philippe samyn uses the technique of transparent over-lays, which allows the historic building (an unexceptional structure from 1830) to be preserved while providing an exterior complement in the form of a screen attached to a new, quasi-independent structure. facilities were added that breathe new life into the château and give it a stronger connection with the neighbouring park. as dominique pieters noted, ‘the preservation of monu-ments requires that each intervention be designed and carried out in a reversible manner’. in the present instance, we can see the pertinence of his remarks; even more than reversibility, we may speak here of the legibility of the interventions. this project is samyn’s first use of the colour grey to capture light (mentioned in chapter 8), to which the concept of ‘light shelves’ has been added (see 01-351).

# 01-355proJect for a car parK for liège university hospital at sart-tilman/ liège (liège province) / 1997–1999

the sart-tilman campus is one of a series of outlying european campuses that were built after the second world war. this gave rise to enormous debate as to whether removal from urban centres would be beneficial to university development, both in terms of possibilities for expansion and the relationships that universities (professors, students, researchers, techni-cal staff, and so on) could maintain with the hinterland, whether near or far. in wallonia, this debate (and other, less innocent ones) gave rise to the sart-tilman and louvain-la-neuve campuses. the former, located in a forest about a dozen kilometres from liège town centre, was strictly given over to university functions, while the image of the latter is that of a nostalgic intermingling of town and university. in both cases, the architecture was developed with relative ease, led by one or more urban planners and an administration anxious to preserve a university feeling. charles vandenhove built the univer-sity hospital at the edge of the site in 1986 and it was to become the flagship building of this very modernist and sometimes ambiguous architect. the site’s lead archi-tect, claude strebelle, designed several small covered parking areas spread throughout the campus. philippe samyn’s project, built entirely out of wood, incorporates the novel principle of a continuous access ramp. first developed in the 1960s, this involves the use of slanted beams that trace the slope of the ramps and ‘break’ at the various levels. the sart-tilman car park, which takes advantage of the inclined terrain, consists of lightly sinu-soidal edges placed at each change of level on perfectly straight beams, which could only be achieved in a wooden structure.

# 01-362proJect for the headQuarters of inp (social security administration)/ santiago de chile (chile) / 1997 *

this spectacular project is one of philippe samyn’s favourites, and he chose it for the cover of devenir moderne?, describing it as ‘a very extrovert image attempting to express the dialogue between the state and its citizens’. it features the architect-engineer’s most frequently used themes, which include an internal street, light wells, panoramic views, climate control based on natural ventilation and a light, very visible structure. the location of the project – on a plot of land between adjacent structures in a very dense urban fabric – is reminiscent of the first extension project for the Banque Bruxelles lambert in Brussels (01-183), discussed at length in chapter 3. later, philippe samyn would often be faced with this type of situation, in which it is clear that one must ‘boldly seize the site’, while carefully con-sidering the building’s lower connections. the triangular cast of the upper floors offers an elegant escape from the classic terraced look, which was used in innumer-able cities of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. the building is designed to harness renewable energy sources, working with natural light and ventilation. the structure has also been designed to stand up to the region’s frequent and strong seismic shocks.

# 01-363 fina service station/ houten (the netherlands) / 1997–1998 / 1999

as marc dubois has emphasised, the most original aspect of this service station is that it is wrapped in large curved wire mesh screens of varying heights, and covered by a huge canopy. this confers both individual-ity and a degree of intimacy, as well as shelter from the wind, which is vital out on the dutch plains. the aesthetic effect of this series of curved screens reminds one of the spatial sculptures of tapta, a sculptor with whom philippe samyn has unquestionable affinities.

# 01-364proJect for the ‘tour centrale’ / Brussels / 1998

in 1960, the construction of the hotel westbury in the very heart of Brussels’ historic centre aroused fierce reactions. Built by the architect robert goffaux on the site of the former eighteenth-century hotel d’ursel, at the border of the nord-midi junction and a curious little roundabout in the vicinity of the cathedral, the hotel’s top two floors were visible from the north-west corner of the grand-place. nearly forty years would pass before the sins of what had come to be known as the ‘lotto tower’ could be atoned for, despite suc-cessive and contradictory statements by the public authorities. the atonement was odd as well, since a wider and somewhat shorter tower could have been put up, to avoid repeating the previous mistake. one might imagine that the long-awaited destruction was due less to urban planning concerns than to the tower’s obsolescence. philippe samyn’s project is a twenty-five-storey transparent cylindrical tower, wrapped in two superimposed ramps. the tower contains five peripheral cylinders, separated by curved ‘salons’ and surrounding a central triangular core that contains sanitary facilities and storage areas. at each level, this triangular core pivots 72 degrees around a central axis containing the principal shafts for technical installations. double-decker cable elevators are accessed via the duplex ‘salons’. the continuous ramp around the facades serves as an emergency passageway. the structure is made out of wood and the facades are, of course, made of a double-thickness glass skin, with a third skin surrounding the tower’s habitable sections. the ‘neutral’ cylindrical shape allows for an easy visual transition between the tower and its architecturally irreconcilable neigh-bours, including the telephone company building from 1965 built by leon stynen (and somewhat disfigured since), the medievalising facades of the communauté flamande building, several eclectic structures nearby and the 1931 shell building built by alexis dumont.

# 01-365orival service station and Bridge restaurant / nivelles (walloon BraBant province) / 1998–1999 / 2000–2001

this complex of restaurants and meeting rooms is built over the Brussels-paris motorway. it takes the form of a huge, 210-metre-long bridge consisting of a central 70-metre span and two flanking cantilevers. in order not to disrupt traffic along the high-speed motorway, the construction was built in sections off to the side, before being transported onto the groups of metal pillars that would support it. the metal structure meant that this operation could be done with precision; the sections fit-ted perfectly together, giving the illusion of an ultra-light bridge made in a single piece. each section was made from pairs of warren-truss girders with a curved outer rib. the facades of the passageways and restaurant are made of a galvanised and perforated (mesh-style) steel wall giving the user a sense of security while bestowing the indispensable transparency. the restaurant is divided into small, brightly coloured units and a large fresco by Kris van de giessen adorns the ceiling. after searching for the best-designed and least pretentious chairs on the market, philippe samyn decided on a simple, age-old solution of ‘schoolroom’ chairs. the system of small parking areas (which would be taken up and improved by philippe samyn several times) breaks with the standard herringbone arrangement. the complex mixes leisure and service functions and is extremely legible.

this is a project for a lightweight trellis structure with a span of 45 metres and a width of 5.8 metres. it consists of a polygonal-shaped lower rib from which pyramidal ensembles rise to support the undulating decking of the roof and a walkway suspended from the upper ribs. the cross-section of the bridge is that of an equilateral triangle placed on end, providing optimal wind resist-ance. this poetic, almost Japanese-style design of a passage across a waterway and its reflection has practically no equivalent in western architecture and engineering. like most of philippe samyn’s projects, the walkway is covered to protect both the structure and its users. this innovative structure has been patented.

like the marolles crèche (01-413), which was designed later, and with similarities to the immomills offices (01-232), the neutral cylindrical shape (here treated as a ring) was chosen for transitional and multi-use integration purposes. the site is particularly unattractive – at the cor-ner of a slip road for the Brussels-liège motorway and the former chaussée de leuven – where a wide range of structures of all functions and sizes jostle together, and open building lots alternate with unbroken rows of buildings of all types. in short, it represents urban sprawl in all its glory. given such unsatisfactory conditions, the architect’s only choice was to compose his own internal space (without necessarily closing it in, like tadao ando) and to attempt to create a harmony where none had existed. the answer was a glazed cylinder perched on ultra-slender columns and topped by a penthouse, as well as a rectangular courtyard with reflecting pool on the ground floor surrounded by low buildings with regu-larly set windows. the ring structure provides natural light for the offices on both of the facades.

# 01-370proJect for a service station, restaurant and motel/ froyennes (hainaut province) / 1998

this asymmetrical service station is built on a relatively narrow plot of land alongside a motorway. the limited scale of the site did not allow parking ‘rooms’ to be built, as at orival (01-365), but samyn has taken full advantage of opportunities for developing and reshap-ing the landscape. the motel is located in the quietest zone. the main structure comprises a dome con-structed from equilateral triangles; it is not watertight, but protects users from wind and sun. the corrugated steel roofs over the various spaces in the station are suspended from this dome. the arrangement of the two service stations is reminiscent of the twin stations at wanlin (01-314), although there a different architect added the bridge and the restaurant.

# 01-373fire station/ houten (the netherlands) / 1998 / 1999–2000

the iconic form of the parabola has made several appearances in philippe samyn’s work. the shape is evocative of the famous hangars at orly airport, symbols of early twentieth-century modernism, which were erected by the engineer eugène freyssinet in 1923. according to dominique pieters, the metallic structure of this small fire station in houten may have found its inspiration from the shape of a fireman’s hel-met, just as le corbusier stated that a crab shell had inspired the roof of the chapel at ronchamp. this may be so, but it matters little, since one of the virtues of architecture is to make us look, and then to leave with the images printed in our minds. we should be careful of venturi’s entertaining classification in learning from las vegas, which divides buildings into ‘ducks’ and ‘decorated sheds’, turning architecture away from its initial naivety and the way in which ideas are imposed on the mind. the parabola, one of the most stable forms in existence, is not linked to a style but to a way of thinking. it allows for a simple and ver-satile treatment of the space it encloses. the masonry walls that sepa-rate the vehicle area from the station’s other functions was decorated with 2,200 children’s coloured drawings. philippe samyn will use this mode of decoration, with variants, in later projects (campidoglio due, rome, 01-526; the retirement home in sint-genesius-rode, 01-527; the tour signal at la défense, paris, 01-533).

this building, the headquarters of an italian oil company, is located in the eur district that was constructed from scratch in the wake of the second world war. Built in the 1960s by the architects Bacchi and galuppi, it was in urgent need of a thorough renovation, both architecturally and in terms of its urban planning. the discreet reworking of the aesthetic of the eighteen-storey building, with its penthouse and double-height ground floor, was accom-panied by extensive work on its catastrophic physical characteristics. the development of the landscape and the modulation of the interior lighting are well expressed by the sections with awnings, in which the exterior views are pre-served. the majestic and symmetrical complex is one of the most classical structures that philippe samyn has ever conceived. reflecting pools and planting create a monu-mental feeling and provide the offices with a quiet zone.

# 01-379offices for the compagnie immoBilière de wallonie (espace christian dotremont)/ nivelles (walloon BraBant province) / 1998–1999 / 2000–2001

this suite of offices, which can be subdivided at will, is built on the site of a former motor racing circuit. at the suggestion of the musician henri pousseur, it was named after christian dotremont, the famous founder of the cobra art movement, created in 1948 after the break-up of the Belgian revolutionary surrealist group. frescoes by yves Zurstrassen adorn the tympanums in the various wings, and the peaceful harmony of the complex, built in the middle of the countryside, is com-pleted by the sound of an electronic carillon designed by pousseur. Both Zurstrassen and pousseur were invited by philippe samyn to participate in this project. pousseur’s composition, entitled le village planétaire has since been published. the complex distinguishes itself from the current model of this type of programme (offices built in far-flung suburbs) by the clarity and mod-esty of its structure, and by a rejection of both regional-ism and an obvious monumentality, which would be out of place here. for anne norman, who interviewed the architect and wrote an excellent commentary on this complex, the espace christian dotremont is an anti-palace, and more closely resembles an industrial estate on a human scale. the low height of the building and the use of french windows and balconies eliminate the inconveniences associated with fire escape routes. in addition, the balconies constitute a protective element for the wood. the two-storey limit allows all of the park-ing spaces for the complex to be placed beneath the structure, much to the benefit of the surrounding land-scape. potential users were given an assembly kit to indicate their requirements in the new terms of building (a technique that was used at one time by participatory architecture). thus, as in later projects in which philippe samyn developed the ‘hamlet’ concept, the scale of this complex remains relatively modest. the landscap-ing conceals the cars from view.

# 01-382proJect for the henriQueZ Bridge/ copiapÓ (chile) / 1999–2000

this 200-metre metal bridge, built from separate ele-ments and with an average span of 30 metres, was designed for chile’s bicentennial. it straddles the river copiapó, whose alternately high waters and near drought conditions are fairly typical in this part of the world. the bridge is designed like a contemporary version of the ponte vecchio in florence and many other bridges that, long ago, were home to a variety of different uses. in this case, it would accommodate foot and motorised traffic, a music school and a mar-ket; in addition, it would be used to open up a large urban aggregation. it occupies the site with authority, elegance and lightness (despite an average height of about 15 metres). the metal from which it is built would have been salvaged from former copper mines nearby. the decking consists of wooden ties from the first rail-way line in south america, which ran between copiapó and caldera. finally, an artificial lake provides water on a year-round basis, as the phenomenon of evaporation is fairly rare in this area.

the hellebecq complex, designed as a light, transpar-ent structure, is very different from philippe samyn’s other service stations. the roofs are formed from an ensemble of discontinuous canopies that play with light and air. as at orival (01-365), the metal mesh facades of the restaurant-bridge provide both natural light and a feeling of security. the easy accessibility of the various parts of the complex allow for multiple uses, ranging from leisure activities to informal meetings. the screens of vegetation and the way in which samyn has cleverly used the sloping terrain to advantage confer an agreeable scale on a layout that would otherwise have seemed fragmented. the restaurant is decorated with large-scale reproductions of paintings from various periods, selected with the help of the curator of the fine arts museum in tournai. the images are placed on screens that break up and identify the interior space, inviting the user to visit the gallery. at night, the station has an almost otherworldly appearance.

# 01-387 and 01-424proJect for wind turBines / 1999–2004

research into the construction of lightweight, high- performance wind turbines was carried out for fabricom (suez group), starting from the theory of the ‘morphol-ogy of structures using volume and displacement indica-tors’ (published by the royal academy of Belgium), discussed in chapter 5. the concept was subsequently used in the competition organised by enelerga for wind turbines at cinisi and pescopagano in italy. the turbines consist of two superimposed, cable-stayed conical sec-tions, a vertical mast and a small conical base to hold the electrical cabling. they require only small founda-tions. it is worth quoting philippe samyn concerning these structures: ‘these days, there is a certain paradox in wanting to produce green energy with wind turbines, given the large amount of material needed for the con-struction of their masts and foundations, as well as the heavy equipment needed to hoist the blades to the top [of the masts]. masts and foundations typically consist of a large, heavy tubular steel structure resting on a thick concrete slab, which itself is sometimes supported by a large number of piles. the ground pollution caused by this large amount of poured concrete is an additional issue from an ecological viewpoint. finally, the mast’s imposing presence is not suitable for every location. using the [volume indicator] method, it has been possible […] to develop a very light mast fitted with studded cables. in addition, this morphology offers the possibility of raising the mast vertically, after having fit-ted it on the ground with the shaft and propeller, using the mast’s bracing cables to raise it. this eliminates the need for heavy hoisting equipment, which also means that turbines can be installed in remote sites.’

roofs for the platforms at leuven railway station/ 1999–2001 / 2002–2008

proJects for a footBridge over the railway tracKs/ 2001 and 2005 / in progress/ leuven (flemish BraBant province)

this spectacular project involving architectural heritage was mentioned several times in chapter 4. the construc-tion of the tgv line between Brussels and liège resulted in only two interesting interventions – the present project and santiago calatrava’s gradual makeover of guillemins railway station, which has until now been trapped in a poorly-organised urban setting. leuven station is part of a vast urban planning project involving several archi-tects. it includes a bus station designed by the architect manuel de solá-morales, a series of administrative and commercial offices erected between the railway lines and the public thoroughfare, and the creation of a link with the nearby community of Kessel-lo. although philippe samyn has sat in on projects relating to all these objectives, with the idea of creating extensive architectur-al coherence, his intervention has hitherto been limited to the present work – a contemporary version of the glass canopies of the railway stations of the past, enlarged and reconfigured in order to create a pleasant interior climate with good lighting. the site operations were planned so as not to interrupt the flow of rail traffic. in the oeuvre of philippe samyn, this structure represents the first implementation of his theory of volume indicators, which was discussed earlier (see 01-387). the metal framework was calculated and deployed in such a way as to channel rainwater efficiently and to resist both its own weight as well as both downward and especially upward winds, which can occur in this type of structure. the footbridge, which was moved several times in several successive projects, is an essential element in the urban planning for the southern area of leuven, which is cut off from the rest of the town by the railway. the project consists of a simple triangular structure of latticed beams sus-pended from four large masts located at the footbridge’s northern (towards the city) and southern (towards Kessel-lo) entrances. a particularly lightweight variant of the project, designed in 2004, consisted of suspend-ing the footbridge from a large arch whose profile was reminiscent of the station, fitted with studs and stays to ensure transverse stability. the whole is part of an urban planning programme for the vicinity of the station, studied by philippe samyn, who described it at length in marc dubois’s book, tussen binnenstad en spoor (ghent 2003), with reference to the kbc project (01-432).

# 01-390milly film house/ linKeBeeK (flemish BraBant province) / 1999–2003 / 2004–2007

this sizeable family residence and film-maker’s studio was built in a relatively isolated and rural setting south of Brussels. the side facing the neighbours and a little-used public road is almost entirely closed, while the back of the house opens onto a landscape of trees, fields and shrubs. in the manner of many great architects and oth-ers, philippe samyn was committed to preserving the privacy of the occupants and to making the house blend in with the landscape. this concern is well expressed by the extremely sophisticated ‘plant tapestry’ covering the roof and the outward-facing walls of the house. this original cladding was designed in collaboration with patrick Blanc. the house’s appearance has earned it the title, given by the architect himself, of ‘shaggy cyclops’. the house encloses the ground floor of a small, existing house, much as Jean van coppenolle did in 1958 for his own house, located nearby.

# 01-391proJect for the arenBerg research and technology campus of the KatholieKe universiteit leuven (Kul)/ leuven (flemish BraBant province) / 1999–2000

this urban and multi-purpose project can be approached from different angles: that of a university campus and simple science park, an urban transition point between two university hubs, or that of a master plan developed around an interior axis, capable of expanding to suit changing needs. the division of the programme into separate but connectable units allows for great flex-ibility. this flexibility can be seen in other projects, even quite recent ones, such as the administration building for the rome city hall (01-526), which is itself reminis-cent of the shell research centre in louvain-la-neuve (01-160 and 01-418). the urban planning and landscap-ing for this project allows for very different architectures to take their place in a framework that is both flexible and formal. the computer-generated images and cross-sections of the project display an urbanity that can be varied to a great extent, as is the case with the Berlin campus proposed by the team of candilis, Josic and woods. the fact that the units can be disassembled within the framework guarantees the urban planning ‘superstructure’. the location of the complex was stud-ied in order to reduce noise pollution from the access road linking leuven to the liège-Brussels motorway and to respect ecosystems. all of the components weigh less than a tonne, resulting in a significant reduc-tion in site installations. a kit-based design that extends all the way to the foundation of helical steel piers offers the possibility of completely dismantling them.

# 01-394-1supermarKet prototype for delhaiZe / halle (flemish BraBant province) / 2000

as we have seen in other projects, the cylindrical shape is proposed here for its ability to adapt to any environ-ment and any shaped plot of land, whether inside or outside of the city. like other locations, the suburbs of the small, ancient city of halle, located in the far-flung outskirts of Brussels and bisected by the river senne, welcome this type of infrastructure which, in this form, complements surrounding housing, industry and shops, and can be built with sustainable development techniques. according to the architect, this project will allow users to reconnect with the concept of a market and what makes it ‘super’. the layout of the main build-ing consists of a ring of office premises surrounding a vast, circular sales area, in the middle of which is a piazzetta. parking is located beneath the structure. Both the buildings and the underground parking areas benefit from natural lighting and ventilation. the samyn offices have worked on template projects on several occasions, whether in connection with metro entrances (01-472) or motorway service areas (01-476, both not included in the anthology).

# 01-401offices for Jan de nul / aalst-hofstade (east flanders province) / 2000–2002 / 2003–2005 *

this immense project attempts to rationalise and com-plete a disparate group of buildings erected over the course of several decades by a large industrial group. the initial pre-project, which was abandoned, unified everything by means of a single roof. one cannot help but think of the urban utopian designs of Buckminster fuller. the new office blocks are built parallel to each other along the river dendre. their facades modulate the light thanks to metal gratings placed over the dou-ble consoles, giving a feeling of weightlessness. the entrance to the complex and its entire foundation is covered and enclosed by a perforated and corrugated stainless steel sheet. the complex also includes a large auditorium, the ceiling and floor of which are covered in a continuous black fabric, providing a contrast with the bright white walls. the auditorium is fitted with black leather seating, each sofa unit supported by two braces and with room for ten people.

these service stations are located on a relatively narrow stretch of road, and are reminiscent of the outer form of the walloon forestry centre (01-279). in this case, how-ever, the roofs of the ‘shell’ are dissociated. made from overlapping bands of corrugated stainless steel laid over a series of large latticework arches, they provide cover for the usual service station amenities: shops, petrol pumps and a parking area.

# 01-405proJect for eurofer / Brussels / 2000

in the heart of the leopold district, eugène delatte and fernand steppé built the headquarters of the groupement des hauts-fourneaux et aciéries Belges between 1953 and 1955. it was located near the twin towers built by Jean-Jules eggericx and raphaël verwilghen in 1934–1937. the goal of the various versions of the new design by philippe samyn (includ-ing one that allowed the original structures to show through) was to give a new and varied relief to the facades, while at the same time creating a modulation of movable, living screens and prioritising the use of natural light. the perforated stainless steel panels on the facade act as mirrors for the diffuse northern light.

the interior and exterior reconstruction of this institute for higher education, located in a central and diverse area of Brussels, required an intervention that was both clean and discreet. standing between standard art deco-style buildings and modest residential buildings, both neoclassical and eclectic in appearance, the exist-ing building had an uninspiring three-part frame (glazed central sections, basement windows and transoms on sandwich panels). the new facades designed by philippe samyn and the interior work rationalised the use of the spaces and introduced modulated natural light. as in other projects, and with a concern for sustainable development that includes even reinforced concrete structures, the demolition of the existing edifices (includ-ing partitions and cladding) was kept to a minimum.

the az-vub is a vast complex that was erected in the late 1960s, and was shared by the two french-speaking university hospitals in the Brussels region: the erasme hospital in anderlecht (connected to the université libre de Bruxelles) and the woluwe hospital (connect-ed to the université catholique de louvain). the extensions designed by philippe samyn are intended to house laboratories for blood analysis. a large, three-storey parabolic structure, semi-industrial in appearance, is covered in greenery. this edifice, which encompasses the main building, softens its massive stature in a particularly felicitous fashion. it also creates a thermal shield, making it possible to maintain constant temperatures in the laboratories. the space between the interior facade of the laboratories and the exterior facades of the buildings is used for a cafeteria and a lounge. the windows in the exterior facades can be opened, allowing those working in the laboratories to maintain contact with the landscape.

within glaxosmithKline’s elliptical car park (01-334), this (unrealised) auditorium looks somewhat like a geode or an unidentified object, creating its own space. it is all curves, and sits perched on a forest of slender posts in the lobby. the lobby is open to the air, but can be enclosed with translucent curtains and heated with infrared radiation when the weather requires it. since the parking areas themselves form a junction between the two central frameworks of the administrative and production buildings, the auditorium occupies a strategic site, much like the auditoriums at the headquarters of the european council and council of the european union (01-494). the structure preserves the parking area’s lighting and natural ventilation. the liège constructivist artist léon wuidar was involved in the design of the lighting and the lobby flooring.

# 01-412proJect for a total service station/ thieu (hainaut province) / 2001

this is a variation on the theme of the service station. the structure consists of small latticework beams whose double sinusoidal shape, clad in profiled sheet wide enough to allow undulation, covers a very large space perfectly illuminated by natural light. Beneath this structure, the independent ‘boxes’ of the glass-roofed shop and the station’s other services can be installed with great flexibility. the lower part of the structural frame collects rainwater, funnelling it down through the inside of the columns. the soil’s permeability maintains the site’s hydrographic profile.

# 01-413social services centre and crèche/ Brussels / 2001–2004 / 2005–2008

this complex was built on a very awkward plot of land in the famous marolles district of Brussels, between the lift connecting the place poelaert with the rue des minimes and the rue de l’epée. within a particularly unstructured urban fabric, which includes small, partial-ly-renovated workers’ houses from the mid-nineteenth century, a group of social housing apartments built by the alpha group in an uncertain post-war architectural style (1954) and the alleged house of pieter Bruegel the elder, philippe samyn’s cylindrical structure acts as a neutral juncture, designed to unify – or at least to calm – the hubbub of its surroundings. when it was designed, the project drew some strong reactions from the royal commission for monuments and sites due to its use of a formal architectural language that was foreign to the district. yet, as we have just pointed out, the character-istics of the original language had literally been blown apart from the 1950s onwards. the complex, which consists of the small cylindrical tower and the low

buildings belonging to the crèche (all of which share an entrance), is built on an irregular plot of land extending from the rue des minimes to the rue haute and fork-ing near the Bruegel house. this unique arrangement allowed the architect to differentiate the interior spaces of the crèche, according to the children’s ages, and the various other functions of the establishment. the social services centre is built on forty-eight peripheral columns of light-section steel (heb 100), while the crèche is built on metal 60 x 120 mm metal tubes. this allows for very open interior spaces and gives the facades a depth that is one of samyn’s distinguishing themes. the cladding of the tower alternates between transparent and opaline glazing. the staircase, suspended from the ceiling of the lobby, is designed to hang free of the floor. the top ridge of the building provides support for the window-cleaning apparatus.

as so often in his bridge projects, philippe samyn has here used his imagination to define a light, transpar-ent and unique structure. as one can see from the cross-sections, pedestrians traverse the bridge within a hexagonally sectioned space that is supported and surrounded by triangular forms. the whole forms a ‘multi-frame’, which was designed using the theory of volume indicators. as in other footbridge projects, the entire structure is covered, protecting both pedestrians and the structure itself.

# 01-421renovation of a series of social housing units for the foyer Bruxellois / Brussels / 2001–2007 / 2008–2011

this 1950s complex, designed by the alpha group (see 01-413), charts a difficult path between references to traditional forms and a more forthright modernist architecture, much as charles van nueten had done two years earlier in a social housing complex located between rue haute and rue de la philanthropie. in both cases, the architects installed facades made of prefabricated elements and metal frames, and linked the structures as best they could with the neighbouring buildings. the renovation project consists of updating the structure’s sanitary facilities and extending the housing units by replacing the existing balconies with cubic interior spaces fitted with perforated metal ‘mosquito netting’. the structures of these supplementary spaces are independent, which simultaneously solves the existing housing’s thermal and hygrometric problems. thus the structure of the facades themselves is respected, but given fresh impetus by the extension of the living spaces.

menin’s town hall stands in the centre of this small town, close to the french border. its l-shaped plot is somewhat disorganised, and strategically cuts off the place du marché. philippe samyn’s project consists of reorganising and restructuring the interior spaces, and in clarifying and reordering the administrative services around a large glass-roofed patio.

# 01-425proJect for a removaBle covering for the interior courtyard of château d’alden Biesen/ BilZen (limBurg province) / 2001

roofing over fairly large historic courtyards creates problems for those who attempt it. in 1995, a competition was organised to create a light, retractable folding roof for the famous seventeenth-century maison de la Bellone in Brussels. after many difficulties, the engineer rené greisch and the architect olivier noterman succeeded in devising a remarkable solution. during this same period, however, the public authorities managed to create a monstrosity for the courtyard of the royal stables, adjoining the palais des académies. at château d’alden Biesen, the competition called for a completely removable covering. the entire structure weighs only 200 kg. the textile is pre-constrained by the play in tension between its cords. as with the roof for the maison de la Bellone, dialogue with the historic architecture is carried out without stylistic concession – solely through transparency – of a dis-tinct and forthright structure and a modulation that is sufficiently inde-pendent of the existing rhythms, reminiscent of the work of frei otto.

# 01-429proJect for the forum cultural complex/ ghent (east flanders province) / 2002–2004

the forum is part of the forceful dynamism of ghent, which has always been at the cutting edge of modern-ism. it lies close the town’s other major cultural and symbolic hubs, including the saint-Bavon and saint-Jacques churches, the saint-pierre abbey, the vooruit complex and the university library built by van de velde starting in the 1930s. from this point of view, the forum project – which is at once a multi-layered urban meeting place, a thoroughfare and a place for shows, concerts and artistic experimentation – is reminiscent of multi-purpose structures in holland from the 1970s and 1980s, which could accommodate what were in effect roofed-over city areas with a remarkable range of activities. the large coliseum-like hall is the heart of the project, with the dance and rehearsal rooms and the administrative offices located around the edges. a window at the back of the stage offers a panorama of the ancient city and its towers. the facades are clad in zinc, one of the architect’s favourite materials. the extensive lobby acts as a point of articulation with the urban fabric, both historic and modern, as well as with the river and its canals.

this project is part of the vast urban planning complex based around leuven railway station, discussed earlier (01-389). marc dubois explored it at length in his book, tussen binnenstad en spoor (ludion, ghent, 2003), which was mentioned previously in connection with the platform roofs and the footbridge to Kessel-lo (01-389 and 01-415, respectively). the complex designed for kbc, which resulted in a new flemish administrative centre, consists of eleven small struc-tures connected by a passageway and separated by atriums. the double-height ground floor of the duplex is orientated towards the town centre. the current structure, the work of other architects, broadly follows the concept developed by philippe samyn, with urban planning copied directly from his project. the complex is designed according to the principles of sustainable construction, which are discussed in chapter 5.

# 01-433proJect for a Bridge over the alBert canal/ riemst-vroenhoven (limBurg province) / 2002

the widening of the albert canal linking antwerp and liège, within a context of territorial development, meant that a number of civil engineering structures had to be replaced, despite the fact that the bridge in question was given listed monument status in 1995. close to the dutch border, the project takes care not to create a hierarchy between traffic from the netherlands and that from Belgium. philippe samyn’s project consists of a light latticework metal structure using a nineteenth- century typology that was, curiously enough, aban-doned, despite its many technical and aesthetic qualities. in addition to the bridge itself, which features lanes for both cars and cyclists, the project includes landscap-ing for the banks and a ‘multi-purpose variant’ located between the main lattice beams. the cladding is held at a distance from the load-bearing structure. in this respect, the project may be compared to that of the copiapó bridge in chile (01-382).

# 01-436douBle railway Bridge over the river leie / ghent (east flanders province) / 2002–2004 / 2004–2006

Both urban planning and landscape considerations were the key factors in this project. the gentle banks of the river leie, brutally bisected by the Brussels-ostende railway line, needed to be redesigned to accommodate pedestrian traffic over the river, as well as the high-speed railway crossing. simple means were used to ensure the continuity of the perception of the land-scape, which nonetheless involved high technology and a coherent vision of the entire space. this is reminiscent of the development of the vicinity around the lake in louvain-la-neuve, in the complementary urban planning project to the aula magna (01-268 and 01-291). light vents illuminate pedestrian areas beneath the bridge for use by those with limited mobility.

according to dominique pieters, the design of this unrealised project – which was literally dreamed up by philippe samyn – deepened the architect’s understand-ing of the genius loci. perched on the banks of the river BioBió, the chapel is evocative of both incan headdres-ses and stone sundials and calendars. thanks to a set of fibrocement strips, it plays the role of a receptor of the variations in light. as with the forestry centre (01-279), it is entirely self-referential, and belongs to no current recognised architectural trend.

located along an access road to the Bruges motorway, this project has been designed to shield users from traf-fic noise and the nearby inhabitants from the oppressive presence of large buildings. a roadside barrier, consist-ing of one long building and a curtain of trees, isolates the buildings and lower gardens from the parts of the school used for classes. the building contains adminis-trative offices, auditoriums and a theatre. the remainder of the composition is extremely serene, based on very simple orthogonal geometry. in this respect, it may be compared with projects for de Boerenkreek (01-446; not included in the anthology) and hec (01-535). the green roofs integrate the structure into the landscape.

# 01-443proJect for the central european BanK headQuarters/ franKfurt-am-main (germany) / 2003

the city of frankfurt, home to one of the world’s largest financial centres, has experienced extraordinary growth in recent years. architecturally speaking, this has led to a series of buildings of diverse quality, some of them quite remarkable. the project in question, located on the banks of the river main, opens onto the city and was in some ways the starting point for the design of the tour signal at la défense in paris (01-533). there is a dialogue between the low volumes that form a ‘hori-zontal village’ and the tall blade-like tower that announces the business district. the project offers 295,000 m2 of office space. the main entrance of the complex is via the grossmarkthalle, which lies across from the city centre and has been converted into a communication centre. a series of art galleries and cafés are planned to run the length of sonnemannstrasse. as is always the case in philippe samyn’s projects, particular attention has been paid to the interstitial spaces.

this project is part of an overall master plan drawn up by ricardo Bofill for the Kirchberg plateau, whose struc-tures include a concert hall designed by christian de portzamparc. the lower levels of the building are evoca-tive of the small medieval town of perouse, on which the classical town was built. in the strictly climate-controlled lower levels, philippe samyn has placed the rare book reserves, the open shelves and a series of fifty-four individual reading rooms. the two upper levels contain a book reserve with offices for researchers and members of staff around the perimeter. the natural light is diffused by the facades and by mushroom-shaped reflectors on the roof, from which visitors can enjoy a panoramic view of the city.

rotterdam railway station is located at the junctions of several nine-teenth-century districts that were relatively untouched by the second world war, but which today constitute a ‘social barrier’. the station needed to be renovated and to take its place once again in contempo-rary life. the current proposal was designed to soften the impact of the railway’s presence in the city, by constructing a vast mall over the tracks. it also involved the creation of a waiting room with a roof resting on flared reinforced concrete pillars, whose arrangement adjusts to the urban fabric and creates a passageway that is both luminous and airy. a complex of twenty-four small and well-spaced towers for housing and offices separates the railway still more from the city and creates a landmark for the station. the spaces between the towers give this new district a pleasant microclimate. the entrance, located to the south of Kruisplein, links the station with the city centre. commercial and socio-cultural areas are placed around the waiting room. a park planted with oak trees is located on the roof and is reached via vertical access.

this crèche consists of a series of low, glazed inter-locking circular shapes with greenery on the roofs. its location, at the edge of Jean-Jules eggericx’s famous garden city from 1921, offers a poetic, playful and diverse appearance – one of the most frequently used formulae for this type of project when the site allows it. perhaps stimulated by the irregularity of the land, samyn has designed a sort of small african village – an open-plan complex in which the construction takes a back seat to the promenade, and where each space is welcoming and easily identifiable. the forty-eight children who are cared for here can thus recognise their own spaces; the smallest rooms look out onto an interior courtyard, while the larger ones offer a view of the land-scape. the slope of the terrain, which is located below the road, helps the crèche seem like a natural element. the roofs, covered in little cultivated hillocks, are at the same level as the road, so that from the highest point, the buildings seem to be hidden within the garden, while three metres lower down, children and visitors circulate between the curved glass walls and landscaping.

# 01-465renovation of a former warehouse and Buildings for spaarlaKen/ Brussels / 2004–2005 / 2005–2007

the complex is located in the rue de laeken, facing the square in front of the flemish theatre (Koninklijke vlaamse schouwburg), a neo-renaissance structure built by Jean Baes in 1883–1887 and recently restored. the street contains mostly brick-and-mortar apartment blocks from the nineteenth century, painted white and fitted with simple rectangular windows. shops occupy the ground floors. philippe samyn’s design included the conversion of the building facing the street into seven large apartments and a ground floor with a mezzanine and a commercial space. in addition, the warehouses at the rear were entirely renovated to create thirty dormitories and four studios for students, with common areas. the converted apartment block had, on the rue de laeken side, a rather ordinary curtain wall. the new design subtly echoes the modulation of the historic building fronts. the main facade includes blond wooden window frames and a zinc cladding. the conversion has preserved most of the existing structural elements. what is unique about the project’s construction aspect is that it was built entirely of complex wooden panels, including the floors, walls and ceilings, which rest on the existing lightweight frame and the old, low-load-bearing foundations. the language of the building ensures a continuity of proportions and rhythms, without any concessions to postmodernism.

# 01-469house of glass/ lommel (limBurg province) / 2004–2005 / 2005–2007

this impressive structure demonstrates the interconnect-ing technical and aesthetic possibilities of glass when combined with a metal structure. it is reminiscent of what the sculptor Jacques moeschal and the engineer andré paduart did for reinforced concrete at the 1958 world’s fair, which was at the cutting edge of civil engineering for its time. the new constructions are built adjacent to a set of older, ill-assorted buildings that have been partially renovated, and with which they form an almost intangible link in the purest modernist tradi-tion. the low, two-storey buildings are quite luminous and designed in the classic manner; their two storeys containing an exhibition space devoted to the various applications of glass. the tower’s immateriality is spec-tacular. seen from below, its slender cone – thirty metres high and eight metres in diameter at the base – consists of alternating triangular shapes enclosing a suspended metallic double staircase that rises to half the height of the tower, like a dizzying structure from a fairy tale. nocturnal lighting is provided by leds, emphasising the structure’s fantastical appearance.

located in a somewhat disparate context, typical of the countryside and the suburbs in Belgium, this project was built on a very tight budget. an in-depth volumetric study was carried out, integrating the building’s lower sections and the impressive stage area. the forthright structural design is reminiscent of the theatre built by henry van de velde in 1914 for the deutsche werkbund exhibition in cologne, and – somewhat more distantly – of the liturgy-guided volumetrics of successive additions typical of romanesque architec-ture. we are in the presence of the initial stages of functionalism, in which the architecture affirms its essence without decorative excess, with every square and cubic metre used efficiently.

# 01-477proJect for the international polar foundation/ toronto (canada) / 2004

three years before being entrusted with the technical design for the construction of the princess elisabeth station in antarctica (01-523), philippe samyn designed a complex dedicated to raising awareness by document-ing and studying climate change. the structure, located in the city centre and on the edge of the university of toronto campus, includes the installations of the city’s old meteorological observatory. the new building is designed like a highly energy-efficient block of flats, fea-turing wooden framing and facades, small well-insulated strips of glazing protected by canopies and screens, and a green roof fitted with twenty-eight light sensors linked to photovoltaic cells. the round wood columns contain fibre-optic cabling, which channels natural light from the sensors during the day and artificial light from the energy-efficient lamps in the basement in the evenings. the interior partitions, inspired by indian tents and mongol yurts, are made of textiles from ethnic tribes from around the world, including north american inuits and Bio-Bio indians from latin america. the building is almost entirely recyclable and can be fully disassembled.

this small and elegant building sits at the corner of avenue marnix and the rue du trône in Brussels, opposite the lateral facade of the Banque Bruxelles lambert/ing that was built by gordon Bunshaft and skidmore, owings & merrill in 1958, and expanded and renovated by skidmore, owings & merrill and philippe samyn in 1987 (01-183). it does not seek to rival Bunshaft’s masterpiece, but rather to adapt it to suit the built environment of Brussels’ ring road and the rue du trône. the badly insu-lated building was in fairly poor condition and had become obsolete. the project proposes a classical facade made entirely of wood and largely opening onto the gardens of the royal palace; it is fitted with glass louvres that both protect the wood and create balconies.

# 01-492proJect for an arts and culture complex/ hoofddorp (the netherlands) / 2004–2005

the programme behind the unstructured buildings of the de meerse cultural complex has its roots in a dutch post-war policy of multi-purpose urban and cultural plan-ning. this was carried out in existing cities and towns (as is the case in eindhoven), as well as on the lands reclaimed from the sea. the present project takes its cue from this urban openness to diversity. the flexibility and ‘calculated modesty’ of philippe samyn’s design displays an acute understanding of a programme that can redefine and modify itself en route, without destroy-ing the coherence of the whole. it also underscores the precision of the historic designs of the dutch urban planners. the proposed architecture expresses this cul-tural richness, diversity and modesty to such a degree that the architect takes a back seat to the community. ‘it is not the architect who selects a colour for a build-ing, but the user and artist,’ philippe samyn declared in a statement of intent accompanying the project. a new facade and a peripheral gallery link the ‘tent-like’ elements in which the functions are interconnected.

this large-scale project, which is extensively discussed in chapter 4, is a combination of new construction, a respectful renovation of an all too sketchily listed build-ing, sustainable development and a poetic evocation of traditional architecture through the use of a patchwork of old wooden window frames, whose historic sources were recently revealed by philippe samyn. the design of the project took place at the same time as the design – by another group of architects – for the renovation of another section of the listed complex, and subsequently to a third design for a renovation of the residence by a third group of architects. in addition, the passage of a new railway line beneath the building, designed and carried out by the technical offices of Beliris, obliged the architects to design the structural refurbishments to protect the architectural heritage without defacing it. finally, the heightened security demanded by the public authorities in general and the future users in par-ticular, resulted in a rigorous selection of materials and techniques. aesthetically speaking, a particular effort was made to reject any imitation of subservience or ‘accompaniment style’. By this, the future users intend to be part of both history and modernity. the project is a result of an ongoing dialogue with the public authori-ties responsible for urban planning and heritage, and with the various project managers.

the progressive modernism of the city’s european district did not come about without some difficulties. the once residential neighbourhood flanks the main thoroughfares that link the city centre with the east-ern section of the capital. today, it is the subject of attempts to readjust the balance between the so-called weak housing sector and its corresponding cultural and commercial infrastructure on the one hand, and the extensions and modernisations of a tertiary sector whose construction was launched some fifty years ago. architectural rivalries resulted in rapid obsolescence. the master plans that are continually being drawn up involve dozens of institutional and private sector stakeholders. all this serves to indicate just how lightly architects who are called to work in such a context must tread, without losing sight of their central role as designers. today, there is no coherent architectural

architect Jos Bascourt. with the proposal of philippe samyn and his associates for the rue de la loi build-ing, we find ourselves on doubly familiar territory – of addition and recovery. in addition, the superimposition of the elliptical meeting rooms, located inside the exterior quadrilateral of the offices (which is relatively ‘restrained’), constitutes an unusual element in the composition, a strangeness that is reinforced by the view of the structure by night. finally, the project for a photovoltaic umbrella placed at a distance completes the extraordinary appearance of this complex. the structure supporting the salvaged and reassembled window frames is composed of a double mesh whose design required a great many versions. the interior modulation of the light in the offices was studied from both an eco-nomical and an ergonomic standpoint; each light can be controlled individually.

the superimposition of the elliptical shapes, which the press has generally referred to as ‘the central amphora’, was the subject of an impressive number of drawings. at first, the axes of the ellipses alternated and it was only in the definitive project that the axes were super-imposed, differing only in size. this progression towards perfect symmetry is discussed in chapter 5. the development of the structure brought to light a series of interesting details, such as the underlying structure of the floors, the load-bearing structure of the facade with old wooden window frames and the irrigated structure of the envelope of the amphora.

directorate comparable to that of the netherlands. despite the obligatory organisation of international com-petitions, the final choices often have little to do with the quality of the architecture. the project designed by philippe samyn and his italian and english partners, and overseen by officials from the federal state and the eu, will be constructed on a site that was remodelled several times in the course of the twentieth century. nothing remains of the private residences erected in the 1920s by the swiss entrepreneur who created the residence palace and a new residential/hotel concept along with it. the building was done in a classic and very coherent art deco style, designed by michel polak. the complex has had a long and colourful history, start-ing with misadventures during its construction and its abandonment by its owners. during the second world war, it was used successively as staff headquarters for the german and allied armies, and then after the war by various ministerial departments (including the ministry of public works until 2002 and the urban planning general directorate). the wings of bloc a were expanded by the sons of michel polak, the south-east wings on rue froissart were razed and replaced by office buildings that closed off one of the entrances to the site, and the international press centre was installed in bloc c. the construction of the building itself was done under par-ticularly difficult circumstances, and on unstable land in a valley that is well known in Brussels for periodic flooding.

philippe samyn’s proposal was to make use, along the length of rue de la loi, of salvaged hardwood window frames from all twenty-seven member states. as already pointed out, this would allow him to develop an architectural patchwork theory, traces of which can be seen throughout the centuries. indeed, we can state very broadly that there are two major categories of architecture: constructions that cannot be enlarged without disfiguring them (such as the parthenon and the taj mahal) and those that allow for additions (as was the case with medieval architecture). this is true from the simplest architectural detail all the way up to the entire structure, but when it is a question of salvaged materials, things are slightly more complicated. north africa is famous for its superb mosques and fortifica-tions, built with what remained of roman constructions, and has innumerable inclusions of ancient fragments in architecture of every era. closer to our time, the destruction of war has resulted in extremely interesting assemblies made from recovered elements. after the first world war, an architect in leuven reused frag-ments of destroyed buildings to build a small student housing complex (which was recently renovated and enlarged by paul van aerschot). this passionate compo-sition is an eclectic, ‘literal’ ensemble. nevertheless, it is clear that nineteenth- and twentieth-century builders have used and often abused architectural quotations. one of the great virtuosos of this was the antwerp

# 01-495proJect to renovate montgomery metro station/ woluwÉ-saint-pierre (Brussels) / 2005

the montgomery crossroads in Brussels is located at the junction of two major thoroughfares – avenue de tervuren (created by leopold ii) and the moyenne ceinture. over the past two decades, there were several projects for renovating the roundabout, including one by the sculptor pierre culot that combined wild grasses and renovated eighteenth-century follies. the community of woluwé-saint-pierre decided instead to install a classic fountain. Beneath the roundabout are two tunnels for vehicles and a metro line. the complexity of the crossroads, the obso-lescence of the station and its relative lack of security justified the project, which encompassed both the areas above and below ground. Key features include improving the flow of traffic and bringing natural light down into the lowest levels of the station by removing unnecessary flooring and increasing legibility.

the project – located in the heart of the medieval city and a short distance from the cathedral and the historic centre – will replace a large car park and an abandoned shopping centre from the 1960s. it will involve very little new construction and a great deal of renovation. the main interest of the project comes from a diverse but coherent vision of the urban renovation, the re-appropriation of the interiors of city blocks and respect for small-scale struc-tures, which is one of the area’s defining characteristics. the project is also concerned with respecting the twin concepts of sustainable construction and energy savings, in both the highly localised replacement of obsolete parts of the existing structures and by the use of materials that are recyclable and appealing, such as the steamed wood used in the facades. most of the existing structures will thus be reused, based on the necessity of keeping costs down and avoiding disrupting traffic or creating noise in the urban centre.

# 01-510 housing tower for the sint-amandscollege/ KortriJK (antwerp province) / 2006 / in progress

this project, currently underway, is located along the river leie. it is the continuation of the core of the existing college, which is being renovated at the same time. it is completed by a project for a bridge (provided by another design office) that will link it to the park. in addition to the ‘classical’ relationship between high and low buildings, the most striking characteristics of the project are the completely wooden facades. these have been designed to have depth and are fitted with glass louvered vents. thanks to the double height of the terraces, they can play the role of an art gallery on an urban scale, a design strategy that samyn would also adopt for the project for a museum in louvain-la-neuve (01-376) and, in part, for the renovation of the social housing units in les marolles (01-421). the choice was made for several reasons, including the creation of greater privacy, simplified climate control and a dif-ferentiated arrangement for the apartment terraces, but above all to break with the monotony of standard curtain walls. night views of the facades emphasise the impression of their functional and aesthetic multi-plicity – a multiplicity that in turn allows for flexibility with respect to the interiors, so that duplex flats can easily be created.

this project, designed for a somewhat dilapidated neighbourhood near namur railway station, plays with a combination of cylindrical forms with a relative monu-mentality. a crown of fourteen lower cylinders contain-ing the courtrooms, surrounds the central, seven-storey cylinder, placed in a circle or oval and juxtaposed like the apsidioles of a romanesque church. exhibition and meeting places are placed in the interstitial spaces. the complex is in turn surrounded by facades consist-ing of fully glazed wooden frames that are ‘organised in dense vertical rhythm’, and of zinc cladding that is primarily reserved for the emergence of the central cylinder. a cylindrical building lower down serves as a car park with a continuous ramp. the entire complex is located in a public park whose outline is designed to soften the irregularity of the arrangement and style of the existing built environment, and to repair, in its own way, the urban fabric.

# 01-514proJect for mons railway station/ mons (hainaut province) / 2006

the current station is a relatively austere building in blue stone, and was constructed just after the war in the then dominant neoclas-sical modern style. philippe samyn’s proposal essentially completes the existing station on the railway side. in this way, it is comparable to the urban development projects for leuven station and the leuven-Kessel-lo link, which aim to diminish the divisive effect of the railway on the urban fabric. in the case of mons, it is the west of the city that is brought closer to the city centre. this proposition is strengthened by the development of a large residential and commercial complex surrounded by three- and four-storey buildings. the current disposition is thus cor-rected. the vehicular tunnel beneath the square has been refurbished in such a way as to allow for foot traffic and for passengers to be dropped off underneath the tracks. the platform roofs, more modest than at leuven, are made of horizontal canopies, supported only at their far ends, so as to free up space on the platforms. their form is reminiscent of old Belgian railway station canopies, acting as a kind of homage to the Belgian artist paul delvaux.

# 01-516proJect to reconstruct the Belgian emBassy/ toKyo (Japan) / 2006 *

this project, a stone’s throw from the imperial palace, is des-tined to replace the building constructed by hugo van Kuyck just after the war, which has become too small and obsolete. the size of the plot means that it can accommodate – in addition to the tower that will be used for the embassy – a commercial office building. a slight discrepancy in the compositional axis of the two buildings gives a unique dynamic to their imprint in the urban space. in addition to the offices for the diplomatic corps and the ambassador’s residence, the tower includes a large hall for receptions and exhibitions and, on the eleventh and twelfth floors, a conference hall and vip areas from which one can take in a panorama of the city. the refurbishment of the exterior areas was designed to preserve existing plants from the original garden. the facades of the embassy building are in patinable steel and fitted with exterior glass elevators; those of the office building are generously equipped with planted terraces in order to connect them with the gardens on two sides. louvered vents provide protection from the sun, offer privacy and contribute to interior climate control.

in the east of moscow, bordering the historic city of nizhni novgorod, renowned for the splendour of its medieval buildings, philippe samyn has devised a group of structures which includes three large parabolic halls set in parallel. these are separated by landscaped car parks and connected by covered walkways. the layout of the three halls, organised on two perpendicular axes, alleviates monotony and contributes to the functional-ity of the whole. the two lateral halls are reserved for workshops. the central hall houses administrative offices, laboratories and the plant’s technical installations on three levels, between which is a vast atrium. the fac-tory can be built from pre-fabricated, mass-produced materials. the facades are covered in multi-ply birch panels. from a morphological point of view, one might compare the harmony of this project with that of the ocas in Zelzate (01-223). further, the use of parabolas with overhanging edges allows snow to slide off to the base of the constructions. the arches of the lateral halls, placed at 9.6-metre intervals, are connected by cement panels, between which there are occasional glazed openings, which are protected by a watertight pvc sheet placed over a thick layer of insulation.

# 01-520proJect for law courts and local offices of the ministry of finance/ dinant (namur province) / 2007 *

the oldest quarter of the city of dinant is situated in a narrow section of the meuse valley, squeezed between the river and a rocky embank-ment. on the opposite shore, another part of the city is situated on relatively narrow plots of land. this is the future site for the law courts, in the city’s southern district, towards the entrance to the historic town of Bouvignes-sur-meuse. this project can be compared with that for the namur law courts (01-511). it adopts certain elements from that building, such as the use of cylindrical forms and the design of the courtrooms, due to similar reasons of adapting to an irregular context. however, the project is very different from namur due to its size and the relatively limited nature of the plot. these limitations have led the architect to divide functions between two buildings of different dimen-sions, while unifying them through a common language. in the same way, the principal building, which includes five courtrooms, is not organ-ised around the outside but in the interior of a central space that would normally serve as a connecting gallery. the landscaping is designed to preserve the views of the river meuse. like the namur courts, the facades in dinant are clad in zinc, while a wooden facade with wooden frames and balconies has been retained for the finance ministry. a small english-style park plays a role in softening the irregularities of the terrain.

# 01-522proJect for a new parliamentary complex/ tirana (alBania) / 2007

the new parliament structure is integrated into a stalin-era building constructed after the second world war under the supervision of the dictator enver hoxha. without wishing to diminish the historical resonances, philippe samyn’s project fits into the older building in the form of a u shape. in this way, it reflects albania’s movement towards the future, without erasing traces of the past. thus the new forms, neither aggressive nor unassuming, reflect a new relationship between the parliament and the executive branch. the rear facade of the new parliament, situated along a boulevard, has been changed into the front facade, and becomes the principal point of entry to the complex.

the new parliamentary chamber on the first floor is preceded by the large citizen’s hall, which is full of light despite the presence of canopies, and is conceived of as an authentic public meeting place. the chamber itself consists of two seating areas facing each other, which are reserved for members of the parliament and the government. according to a recent memo from the architect to the academy, it will also be possible to arrange the seating in the form of a semicircle. the public galleries allow for a daily encounter with the democratic process of a modern state. the construction follows the principles of sustainability and takes into consideration the extreme climate and limited energy resources. thus, there is a generous use of textile partitions and wooden structures. more importantly, a removable insulating canopy, which is easily stored, has been planned for the existing facades for the hottest and coldest months. meanwhile, a passive greenhouse heating effect helps to regulate the interior temperature. renovation and reorganisation of the exist-ing spaces are also planned.

# 01-523the princess elisaBeth antarctic Base/ 2007–2008

the new Belgian scientific base in antarctica is one of philippe samyn’s most recent technical missions. in february 2007, he was consulted in an engineer-ing capacity to define and update the construction systems for the spatial arrangements (general form and interior equipment), which had been previously deter-mined (without an architect) by the international polar foundation team. these were based on aerodynamic criteria and energy conservation. therefore an engineer was required to give a physical structure to the base and an impenetrable envelope, dictated by the rigour of the geometric system. the installation of the polar sta-tion has to stand up to extreme conditions: in addition to very low temperatures (as low as -50°c) one also has to take into consideration high winds (fortunately there is a stable wind direction), atmospheric dryness, alter-nating accumulating and diminishing snow, and even the risk from the impact of stone projectiles carried by the wind. with such a project, safety considerations are naturally of the first order.

these specific conditions led to the design of a con-struction which is as light as possible, mounted on pilo-tis, literally stilts that rise above the ground at an average height of four metres. these pilotis are divided into four separate groups of mild steel bars, anchored some six metres deep. the autonomy of the supports allows the metal to adjust to changes in temperature while avoiding the need to install expansion joints where it meets the superstructure, and thus not endangering the stability of the whole. the station itself, consisting of an orthogonal grid of laminated wooden trusses, was designed to be compact, comfortable and easy to assemble. the station’s aerodynamic shape – which was wind tunnel-tested in the laboratories of the von Karman institute for fluid dynamics in sint-genesius-rode – obviously owes nothing to post-war, pseudo-design.

the station’s external envelope (flooring, roof and facades) consists of two shells made of composite resinous wood panels held apart by thin columns of beech and separated by 40 cm of insulation. it is fitted with a continuous interior vapour barrier (including at the level of the interior columns, where the columns are bonded to the structure by metal plates to which they are attached), thus resolving the problem of thermal bridges. the highly perfected joints between elements were designed right at the start of the project. inside, the facades terminate with wool felt (a natural material of which samyn is quite fond) covering the vapour bar-rier and, on the outside, by stainless steel plate. the ‘object’ is singular but completely logical.

assembled for the first time on the site of the former tour & taxis customs warehouses in Brussels, the polar station was shown to the public in august 2007. it was then disassembled and transported in kits to the build-ing site, where it was reassembled in five weeks under the personal supervision of the engineer and explorer alain hubert. the work was finished in march 2008.

# 01-526proJect for the new town hall: campidoglio due/ casa dei cittadini (rome, italy) / 2007

the project is located in the south-east of rome, at ostienze railway station, which lies between roma termini railway station and fiumicino airport. according to the architect, the project’s goal is to ‘create a part of the city by treating an entire neighbourhood like one large open volume [...] rather than as the sum of a series of isolated volumes [...] this open typology allows offices to be assembled into clearly identifiable sub-groupings.’ this urban design is characteristic of much of philippe samyn’s recent research. with it, it is pos-sible to integrate with a historic tradition, approaching the urban landscape with a well-studied fragmentation rather than cutting into the city’s new construction. the architect’s initial sketches show a grid layout that one might compare, at first glance, with a design from the 1960s by candilis, Josic and woods for the freie universität Berlin. for this project, however, it refers to something completely different: the grid plays a regulat-ing role for a complex that is at once airy and compact – even ‘hollow’ – in the spirit of ancient roman construc-tions, with a clear and discreet classicism. the facades, decorated with ceramics produced by the inhabitants, are fitted out with ‘light shelves’ as is the case with numerous buildings created by philippe samyn.

# 01-527proJect for a retirement home/ sint-genesius-rode (flemish BraBant province) / 2007 / in progress

a truly village-like structure is created here for eighty-eight residents grouped into small fourteen-room units. this has been fitted between the site’s existing buildings. the spatial layout is such that the majority of interior views are broken up, fostering a sensation of pri-vacy and creating small communal meeting places. the facades are highly insulated like the existing renovated buildings, and are clad in a patchwork of 25,000 small multi-ply panels. these are decorated by the residents, the children and the inhabitants of sint-genesius-rode, under the artistic direction of carine fol, who special-ises in the study and encouragement of spontaneous artistic expression. an interior garden and landscaping attentive to the existing garden provides a link between the various parts of the complex. this project can be compared with that of neder-over-heembeek (01-408, not included in the anthology).

# 01-530car parK for glaxosmithKline/ wavre (walloon BraBant province) / 2007 / in progress

the highly geometric design of these three cylindrical staggered car parks and their interconnection is the result of philippe samyn’s typological research in the area of landscape development of motorway rest areas, as well as his earlier proposals for the parking ‘ring’ for the same company (01-334). the project’s basic principle consists of eliminating dead ends. the three cylinders – measuring respectively 95, 74 and 54 metres in diameter – are made of fire-resistant wooden planks placed on a grid of steel beams and col-umns positioned every 5 metres on textile foundations. the entire complex is extremely light and can be fully disassembled. the lower levels of the smallest cylinder provide visitor parking for 200 cars with the remaining 2,600 spaces for staff.

# 01-533tour signal proJect for la dÉfense/ paris (france) / 2007

la défense, which was created in the wake of the second world war according to a master plan inspired by the athens charter, has witnessed every one of the rapid-fire shifts in architecture of the last four decades. these include the large thin-shelled structure of the cnit (which was strongly disparaged by le corbusier in one of his final texts), otto von spreckelsen’s grande arche, which echoes the arc de triomphe, as well as several residential towers that range from the magnificent (such as the tour nobel) to the mediocre. philippe samyn’s project is located on the banks of the river seine at the level of the pont de neuilly, on the site of the current novotel. the proposed development would link the la défense esplanade with the green space located above the metro station in order to resolve the issue of the connection with inner paris. the multi-coloured, ‘discontinuous’ tower, rising to a height of 450 metres, is divided into ten-floor sections, each containing a hol-low space at one of the building’s corners. no void is built over another, and each may accommodate local developments. a central 18 m2 void running the entire height of the building generously channels light and serves as the main conduit for the building’s natural ven-tilation. multi-coloured solar sensors in the form of scales are arranged to accommodate users’ requirements. the project consists of 60,000 m2 of offices, 85,000 m2 of residential space, 5,000 m2 of shops and a 6,000-m2 hotel. other lower buildings offer 60,000 m2 of residen-tial space and 8,000 m2 of multi-purpose space.

the structure of the tower consists of a mixed exoskel-eton of steel and concrete sheets, braced at the perim-eter of the facades. four tubular latticework cores, 10.8 metres on each side, constitute the vertical circulations shafts and provide stability in the event of an attack. energy of all types is managed rationally, in particular via exterior solar sensors and black-tinted solar panels that cover the facades of the hollow spaces. at a time when the discussion of towers within cities and their ‘branding’ of the urban space is once again being taken up, this proposal combines strength and grace, without – as certain recent projects do in the same area – playing the often biased deconstructivism card.

# 01-534proJect for a new cultural and youth centre and offices for argos/ ieper (west flanders province) / 2007

the city of ypres, whose origins date back to the middle ages, was almost entirely destroyed during the first world war and it was rebuilt at the end of the conflict. the current project is located to the west of the city at the edge of the historic ramparts, in a residential zone adjacent to the square in front of the railway station. the cci (cultureel centrum ieper) is made up of a multi-purpose auditorium – both modular and flexible – along with its associated services. the glazed facade facing the street is home to the ‘giants’ of ypres (known as smoezepoezen) that are, as in many Belgian towns, an important part of local folklore. in the same spirit the interior walls of the auditorium are lined with ‘grandmothers’ wardrobes’. the former cattle market on the site was turned into three small cinemas, an exhibition space, train-ing facilities for argos, offices and a reception area. the strong dynamic of the diagonal volumes located in the parallelepiped of the former structure are notable. the joc (youth centre) is a new volume built on pilotis, to the south-west of the site. it contains a modular platform for offices and various activities. without losing its function, the railway station’s former spaces have been modified and readapted as an extension of the cultural centre.

# 01-535proJect for hec/ Jouy-en-Josas (france) / 2007

philippe samyn’s project is located at the entrance to the hec campus, perpendicular to a regional thoroughfare and preceded by a vast reception zone. it consists of a set of six parallel buildings separated by terraces and is positioned along a large internal road that serves the classrooms, administrative offices and a group of auditoriums. the clarity and legibility of the structural design are exemplary. the facades are made up of insulating panels covered with white reinforced and resistant mortar. the transparent metal and wood structures that enclose them and extend around the reception zone give the complex a feeling of great lightness, which may also be found in the lobbies and interior passageways.

# 01-537school of architecture/ luBumBashi (democratic repuBlic of congo) / 2008 / in progress

Just as the structure of north african cities is based on the labyrinth, almost all of the culture of central africa is based on matrix-like groupings of round or oval forms – huts, palaces, enclosures, granaries, and so on – which may also be found in europe in prehistoric sardinian nuraghes. the colonial powers always opposed these building models, preferring instead squared-off orthogonal structures set along roads, which were easier to survey and register. in the same manner, craft trades have been nearly eliminated in favour of bland tourist mass production. there still remains, in certain parts of the planet, know-how and creativity untouched by cultural destruction. as recent ethnographic studies have shown, the popular imagination is holding its own by recreating a parallel world in which the spirit of the ancestors dwells. the school of architecture project is in line with this style of secular urban planning. within an enclosure consisting of various service areas and whose shape is that of ‘michelangelo’s oval’ based on a double square, a group of ten to twelve circular teaching rooms that are arranged around the larger ‘hut’ of the main auditorium. the construction is composed of high walls of corrugated sheets, assembled like mediterranean roof tiles, topped with thatch and lined with a white cotton canopy to ensure thermal protection and create an inter-stitial space for natural ventilation. the tall shape provides lighting thanks to large slits whose shape and orientation capture the sun’s rays throughout the day. the tables are made of wood and the floor is sand. the governor moïse Katumbi chapwe is seeking to involve local craftspeople in the project.

philippe samyn and partners, architects and engi-neers (or sai), is a private/public partnership that was founded in Belgium in 1980 and which took the form of a limited liability company. its areas of expertise cover the full range of architectural and construction engineering, including program-ming, planning, urban planning, architecture, interior design, building physics, structural engi-neering and special techniques, surveying, project budgeting, project and site management, cost estimating and control, and safety coordination.

sai, created and run by an engineer, is unique in the world of Brussels architectural companies. how does this specificity play out in the way the office functions?

d.m. (denis mélotte) philippe samyn’s scientific training is clearly at the heart of how the office is run, with its basis in research and questioning. it can be summed up in a single word: why? put another way, the office’s primary intellectual capital is its methodology. we strive to approach each project with a fresh eye, based on the explicit, stated requests of the contracting authority, and remain in contact throughout the design process. this dialectical way of proceeding informs how we organise our work – any shortcomings are questioned and provide the basis for future improve-ments. such quasi-scientific methodology turns the office into a laboratory of ideas. we strongly encourage curiosity, knowledge sharing and the acquisition of new skills. this may seem paradoxical, but we think that constant questioning is only fruitful in a well-ordered and organised context, on both an individual and a general level. as philippe samyn likes to say, ‘order and cleanliness are the first fruits of beauty’. this is even more the case for us: a strictly run organisation is the condition sine qua non for the creation of high-quality architectural projects.

so, constant questioning is the philosophical basis for how the office works. does it also have an influence on the daily work of the architects and engineers?

d.m. this continual questioning is a far from abstract concept; through the strict organisation that it requires, on a practical level it offers a physical structure to the office. a whole set of operational rules organises and supports the development of projects, while the use of management tools (such as team reports and the annual management report) allows us to see where the office stands with respect to its various objectives. three elements constitute the pillars of the organisa-tion – the structuring of knowledge, communication and the system for classifying information.

p.s. (philippe samyn) as far as knowledge is con-cerned, we have four libraries of books and other print-ed materials located around the office – each providing answers to specific types of questions. these libraries cover the following themes: architectural programmes, construction elements (classified by function – frames, chairs, etc.), materials (classified by form and type) and performance (specifically the tools used to define per-formance – theoretical and abstract areas of knowledge such as sociology and history, but also applied technical knowledge such as material resistance and the physics of the building).

these libraries are genuine reference tools, and we add to them by every modern means possible, including the internet, although the internet will never provide a substitute. the physical contact with material and the ability to spread out documents on the table is an unequalled means for comparing the elements that the architectural creation seeks to combine. multiple computer screens, even if placed side by side, would not replace the global vision that is necessary for the emergence of a new synthesis. in contrast to the rigidity of the screen, paper’s flexibility offers an indis-pensable freedom in the search for solutions for each new project. in addition to the four basic libraries, we have supplementary collections, including architectural, urban planning and construction magazines, commer-cial documentation and a ‘materials library’. the latter consists of representative samples of various materials

that we like to use in our projects. every element in the libraries and collections is classified using the ci/sfb system.1 we will talk more about this system later.

d.m. communication is the only vector of our activity. ours is a service profession, and we produce only information. each of our transactions is designed to be communicated to other stakeholders in the project – the contracting authority, consulting engineers, con-tractors, government departments, and so on. each of these is also the source of a large flow of information that we must manage. it is crucial – as much for the quality of the architecture as for the company’s survival – that communication is completely explicit, transparent and easily traceable. to this end, we have put some simple rules in place. these include a single e-mail address for the entire office, a double check of every outgoing document and the fact that the owner of the company, philippe samyn, validates every incoming and outgoing document, whether paper or electronic. this way of working has the additional beneficial effect of encouraging continuous contact between team members.

in an office such as ours that is constantly changing, the classification system – whether for reference works or for the material produced by the office – is crucial. if we cannot instantly find the information we need, and without putting the information that we produce in a logical, known place, how could we create? how could we build? communicate? the ci/sfb system is a sort of esperanto, understood by both the office staff and the various professions that come together to create the work itself. it allows the men and women of the various teams to work in great intellectual alliance and with daily interaction. in addition, although it requires a certain amount of effort, it means that newcomers can very rapidly integrate into the team, since the underly-ing structure for each project is the same.

practically speaking, it is an alphanumeric coding sys-tem that takes the form of tables; the most frequently used tables are those for construction elements and materials, which are classified according to type and form. other tables classify architectural programmes and site activities. each new team member is given a

copy of the ci/sfb tables and learns them by heart in the process of using them. for contractors, a standard specifications model includes an explanation of the system. architecturally speaking, the offices are spread across three levels. the ground floor is the public level. accessible to visitors, it contains the libraries, meet-ing rooms, some of the models, the canteen, and so on. the two upper levels contain open-plan offices. however, separate space is provided for very big projects that require large teams. for many years we have operated a one-key system. this simultaneously guarantees complete confidentiality and total transpar-ency within the team.

you have spoken about the organisation of the office; now tell us about your staff.

p.s. most of our staff members come to us straight from university or a higher learning institute. a system like ours requires them to be very flexible and adapt-able; you cannot enter the system only halfway or use it as you see fit. it allows us to respond quickly and accurately to situations, such as the arrival of a new project, or the stoppage of another. in addition, we sometimes need to recruit staff in a very short period of time. one of the important things they must learn is our clean desk policy. everyone’s desk must be cleared every evening. disorder is a threat to the smooth run-ning of projects; everything must be in its place so that everyone can have access if need be. contrary to what one may think, this system is a springboard for creativ-ity, not a constraint.

the office has a ‘matrix’ organisation. can you explain what this means in concrete terms?

d.m. in addition to the projects he or she is working on, each member of staff makes a specific area of expertise – which he or she develops on an ongoing basis – avail-able to the others. one person may keep the specifica-tions database up to date, someone else checks that presentation documents have been returned, another person collates applicants’ files, manages it standards or collects everything that is published in relation to sus-tainable construction. this means that, even if someone is entrusted with a specific task on a specific project, it

is perfectly likely that he or she will also be assigned to work on other projects.

although sai’s projects are recognisable, one cannot say that there is a ‘samyn style’. why is this?

p.s. the lack of a formal ‘style’ can be explained by our use of methodology as a creative source. this necessarily implies the uniqueness of every project – each is a sort of prototype that responds to a specific question or situation. there is no ‘signature’ approach, no ‘samyn footprint’. the samyn style is found in the approach and in the search for a compromise between the various elements of the construction process. this compromise means that we can arrive at a meeting point between the various degrees of perfection that the proper functioning of the construction requires. no technique can be used to its optimum level, because that optimum would necessarily exclude the optimum of the whole (which is the goal of the author of the architectural project and the engineer).

you also have engineers working for you. does this allow you to create projects completely in-house, from a to z?

d.m. not from a to z, let’s say from a to f. the engi-neering training and function of philippe samyn and some members of staff means that we can systemati-cally create the conceptual part of the engineering in-house. this is important, because it means that the project’s coherence cannot be compromised by a third party that is not up to speed with the entire project, with its underlying theoretical content and the possible solutions to the various constraints. for detailed calcu-lations, and for the description and control of technical works, we work with the engineers of our subsidiaries. in addition to consulting engineers specialising in stabil-ity and special techniques, we often call on specialised outside engineers for very specific support in terms of acoustics, structural planning, natural lighting and site planning.

one of the major difficulties in architecture is being able to guarantee construction quality. how does sai deal with this?

d.m. indeed, the great difficulty lies in being able to certify that the client will effectively receive what he or she purchased on paper. in order to guarantee production quality, the samyn office is certified by several organisations. the general organisation of tasks is based on principles set out in sai’s quality system, which has been iso 9001 certified since 2000 (iso 9001: from 2000 to 2003) and iso 14001 from 2007.2 nevertheless, each project – far from being treated on a case-by-case basis, each with its own characteristics – tends to help the entire office advance towards a sys-tem of acquired knowledge. here again, the dialectical approach is very apparent. one of sai’s major concerns is the integration of the principles of sustainable devel-opment into architecture.

p.s. sai is effectively an eco-dynamic organisation. a philosophy of sustainable development has under-pinned our architectural and engineering approach since 1972, as numerous publications in technical and scien-tific journals can attest, as well as presentations given at various colloquia and conferences. it is therefore natural that sai would apply these precepts to itself. after having signed the eco-consumption charter with the Brussels capital region in march 1997, sai was awarded ‘eco-dynamic’ certification from the Brussels capital region in 2001, which was renewed in 2004 and 2007. in addition to its annual financial and social reports, the office publishes a report on the group’s environmental activities.

tell us about your projects. first of all, how do you ‘land’ contracts?

d.m. many new commissions come to us based on our reputation. we make it a point of honour to publish our production widely, because we practise in a field that is in the public interest, and thus we have a responsibility to render an account of our activities. chance encoun-ters pay a role. we also take part in a number of private and public competitions. the latter require a significant investment of both time and resources, with a highly uncertain outcome. with a small team such as ours, it is only rigorous organisation that makes it possible to enter such competitions without jeopardising the man-agement of ongoing projects.

tell us how a project unfolds. what exactly happens?

d.m. the principle is exactly the same for every project. right from the initial studies, a project team is put in place, which accompanies the contracting authority through all the phases of the project. our members of staff speak most of the major european languages and this allows us to offer perfect com-munication between the stakeholders, regardless of where they are from. philippe samyn is the associate in charge of project design. his participation is of a conceptual nature, but it applies to every graphic document produced throughout the project, from the initial sketches all the way to the final blueprints drawn up by the contractors. a colleague, who is in charge of the administrative and technical management of several projects at a time, always accompanies him. the project manager leads the team and handles the daily flow of information, dealing with information coming from outside so that it can be incorporated into the design process, and ensuring that the team imple-ments the decisions made during design meetings. the associate in charge supervises the flow of information, handles contractual issues and uses his or her exper-tise to find answers to the innumerable questions that arise as the project unfolds. as with all collective crea-tive processes, the division between different people’s jobs is not hermetic. at all levels, everyone takes the initiative needed to help the project move forward: proposing a new idea, detecting a problem, developing a solution and implementing it if necessary.

until 2004, philippe samyn alone fulfilled the role of intuitu personae – the official contact with the contract-ing authority. from 2004 to 2007, the role was carried out by philippe samyn and the associate in charge of the project. since July 2007, this responsibility has been taken over by the company philippe samyn and partners sprl, architect’ as the law now permits. each project is divided into clearly identified steps. the principal phases are the sketches, pre-project, planning permission, contract, project execution and reception of works. each step of the project has a correspond-ing formal approval from the contracting authority. meetings play a highly important role in the develop-ment of a project, because they are the place in which

453452

the outside world (contracting authority, consultants, users, government offices, companies, etc.) connects with the project being created by our organisation. during these meetings, two things can happen: either the project is found to be legitimate and can be devel-oped further, or it encounters justifiable opposition and has to be redirected.

each meeting is the subject of a systematic report. these reports become the primary tools for the admin-istrative and technical management of the project. there are three types of meetings, which happen at different intervals:

- management meetings, in the presence of the contracting authority, which deal with subjects of con-cern only to the contracting authority and the authors of the project; these take place prior to the execution of the project, but may well continue during the execution phase; - design meetings, which concern programming, as well as architectural and technical design; - site meetings.

management meetings are generally held once a month. design meetings (programming and design) are held on a mandatory weekly basis until acceptance of the pre-project phase and budget approval. a second weekly meeting, more oriented towards end-users, is usually integrated into the schedule during the program-ming phase. these become bi-monthly during the project approval phase, and then monthly during the on-site phase. they often merge with management meetings and serve to keep everyone up-to-date about the progress of work on site. plenary site meetings are held daily starting from the date the work is ordered from the contractors. in addition to the meeting reports, a rolling brief is drawn up. this brings together every documented element that has been validated and approved in meetings. this document therefore evolves from week to week, and outdated elements are gradu-ally replaced with newer versions. during the design phase, the brief contains all the documents required to get an overview of the status of the project, and dur-ing the on-site phase, it reminds us of why this or that decision was made. naturally, at the end of the project,

the brief also contains the full set of relevant documents for the upkeep of the building. all of the documents relating to the various projects are classified using the ci/sfb classification system and numbered sequentially over the entire course of the project: starting with the management and design meeting reports, then the specifications, site surveys and allocation drawings, and finally the reports on site meetings and the blueprints furnished by the companies and the ‘as-built’ files. the graphic design elements (rough sketches, blueprint plans, sketches and others) are also sequentially dated and numbered, each number preceded by ‘dc’ (concep-tual drawing). in the same way, the study and presenta-tion models are systematically photographed and added to the file. we go so far as to include sketches done in coloured chalk on the meeting room blackboard dur-ing the projects, which are photographed, given a ‘dc’ number, dated and placed in the file.

the numbering of the layers for all drawings and the codification of the numbering of blueprints is also strictly organised using the ci/sfb classification system. this allows us to check at any moment if all the infor-mation is there. every new element is added to the file, without any selective process. once a project is fin-ished the entire set of documents is carefully archived and numbered and a copy is given to the contracting authority. the rigour of this organisation is all the more critical when the project includes a higher density of technical infrastructures and involves a larger number of participants. the goal is to allow for the regular transfer – to the contracting authority or any other stakeholder – of the precise information that he or she may need.

you produce an enormous amount of drawings and models in the process of constructing buildings that bear your artistic stamp. do you consider these docu-ments and objects to be works of art in their own right?

p.s. in the beginning, we produced graphic documents with a practical goal: to perfect the project and make it understandable. thus, the models are the basic ele-ments in the creation of a project because they allow the viewer to maintain complete flexibility of movement when first encountering the building. this is something

that computer graphics, which freeze the viewer, do not. But i am an aesthete and for me, for us, in our profession as architects, it is an urgent necessity to raise the images that we produce to the level of works of art. the form this takes differs depending on the document or the object under consideration. sketches, drawings, plans and models are entirely under our control – they transpose the ‘reality’ of the project into standard graphic representations that we can easily master. their evocative power is solely the result of our skill and the time we spend on them, even for the pres-entation models that we have done outside. indeed, i am often struck, when i look at certain drawings and models of our older projects, to see that they have not aged a bit, as if this mode of representation conferred a timeless quality on them.

it is completely different with computer-generated graphics, which are always appreciated, whether we like it or not, because of their relation to a certain ‘realistic’ photographic system of reference. we use graphic artists to create these images and the result is based on an intense artistic collaboration. the same is true for photographs of our completed buildings, the difference being that the artistic quality of the result depends in even greater measure on the photogra-pher’s inspiration.

2 the iso 9001 standard is part of the iso 9000 family of standards for quality management systems. this standard stipulates the organisational requirements for putting in place a quality system. this list of requirements serves as the basis for certifying organisational compliance.the requirements are divided into four major areas:- management responsibility: requirements for actions on the part of man-agement as the main and permanent stakeholder in the process;- Quality system: administrative requirements concerning knowledge building. a requirement to take into account the concept of the system;- process: requirements concerning the identification and management of processes that contribute to the satisfaction of the parties involved; - continuous improvement: requirements concerning the measurement and recording of performance at all useful levels as well as undertaking effective improvement actions.

the office is based on a structure and a systematic and meticulous treatment of all computerised and paper-based data, using the ci/sfb clas-sification system. source: http://www.iso.org/iso/iso_catalogue/manage-ment_standards.htm. the iso 14001: 2004 standard defines requirements for the environmental management systems. these requirements cover both internal and external organisational areas.
