Remember the Villa Normande? and the Castle of Noisy? This is Belgium joined the neighbors who acted in defense of the heritage to save the buildings from demolition. Both are still there...not that we claim any credit , but still ...
We are happy to have brought their cause to your attention.
Today, TiB leaned about another valuable project and would like to support the Committee of neighbors of Square Constantin Meunier, an architectural treasure in Brussels' suburb Forest/Vorst, whose beauty and integrity is threatened by a real estate project.
According to the author of the article in Brusselsnieuws (unfortunately only available in Dutch) the local town administration will look into the file this coming Tuesday. Let's hope that, also this time, the voices of the people of the neighborhood will be heard so that they will be able to preserve this beautiful square with all of its art deco buildings in its original gorgeous state of surroundings!

Oh, yes! I do hope the people will be heard!! Too much of all of our history is being destroyed these days! Great capture for the day!!
ReplyDeleteMooi gebruik van scherpte diepte.
ReplyDeleteIt's a lovely neighborhood. I hope they will protect it. You have framed this photo so perfectly! You should submit it for this group to use in advertising, I think.
ReplyDeleteje geeft mij altijd meer het gevoel in de zomers Brussel een bezoekje te brengen. Met de trein is het goed te doen.

La défense d'une place ? Attention, à Istanbul cela a commencé comme çà.
