A monument for Europe

In a few years time, the European area will get a quite different skyline. Grey office buildings will make way for modern architecture. No superhighway cutting through the city, but a welcoming residential area in the Wetstraat.

The European institutions are very important for Brussels, but we are not proud of the way this neighbourhood looks like. That’s why the government of the Brussels Region has a approved a plan that has to bring more housing, better transport links, and rethinking public space.

Some plans also have a monument or symbol in mind for the European Union. What could this monument look like ? A skyscraper on a Dubai-like scale, or a gigantic piece of art ?
