TALK | Conférence Jasinski #1
Automobiles, pedestrians and trams: Jasinski and the Brussels public space - Ursula Weiser in conversation with Christophe Loir (ULB)
Stanislas Jasinski's famous project comprising three cross-shaped towers located on the central boulevards next to the Brussels Stock Exchange (1929-1930) and housing the entire Belgian administration reflects more than his desire to radically transform the historical city from an architectural point of view. His approach to public space also reveals the tension between different modes of transport in an era when the motor car began to dominate. This conference will explore the architect's work in the context of mobility development and public space planning during the interwar period.
Christophe Loir is a professor at ULB in the History, Arts and Archaeology department and is a member of the Commission royale des Monuments et des Sites. His research focuses on the history of landscape, heritage, and mobility in the 18th, 19th, and 20th centuries.
