Brussels has been laying on the banks of the canal for
centuries, but the people from Brussels have looked
upon this waterway in their city with contempt for
a long time. Today, however, the canal has become
the place to be. Besides its transport, tourism and
ecological function, the canal is also a place to live, to
work and to recreate. Numerous urban projects have
been completed or are under development. The site
of Thurn&Taxis is an example of the evolution that the
canal has seen. From railway station and a storage of merchandise, the
location has been renovated into a beautiful modern
business and commercial complex, respecting the
previous architecture.
The renovation of the "Gare Maritime" was recently awarded the ARC2020 architecture prize.
