A proposal for the rehabilitation and complete new urban narratives for the site of the former local ‘Maison du Peuple’ of Anderlecht, in the area of the canal and a popular and post-industrial neighborhood, where the value of “cooperative” still really means something. Our proposal (OUEST+ALTSTADT) for this program mixing housing, production spaces and ateliers and community spaces is a dialogue between old and new, with a clear generosity to the city, giving back a part of the plot to offer it to the community with a public outside space and a “table” element inviting everyone to enter the site.
