When the city destroyed the building to build the Place De Brouck\u00e8re, the fa\u00e7ade and the 3 first spans were disassembled and rebuilt in the new Ch\u00e2telain neighbourhood, at the end of a perspective. The church was then completed with a new transept and a new chancel. Today the church happens to be way too big for its actual use and the city wants to use this lost space.<\/p>\n<p>Nine Colleges are located less than 10 minutes by foot away from the church and they are in need of a learning centre and student housings. Besides this, the neighbourhood has only two gathering places: the Ch\u00e2telain square \u2013 which is a market square, and the Trinity church. The church forecourt and the market square enable the neighbourhood to live like a village and the church is a landmark that embodies the identity of the neighbourhood.<\/p>\n<p>The church responds to two needs: it is a place of worship used every week by a lot of people and it offers a peaceful place to study. It is then no need to destroy the church. However, it is horizontally cut above the lateral naves in order to install a new housing building on top. This new volume contrasts with the old building, creating a confrontation between calm places and living places, the public and the private, the old and the new.<\/p>\n<p><em>Professors : Pierre Blondel, Irene Lund, Jean-Marc Simon.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Student housing + learning centre | Brussels | 2016 The Trinity Church has a chaotic history: first built in the centre of Brussels in the 17th century, it was successively turned into a hospital, a protestant church, an art centre, a concert hall and a post office.
