TOUR & TAXIS PARK
Brussels, Belgium

The former industrial railyard in the centre of Brussels is transformed into large park, imagined as a river valley. The ballast of the former tracks is stored underground to retain rainwater, while fast-growing pioneer trees on its banks start the ecological succession of this park in constant evolution.
