Since I started an experiment in order to combine our findings of the area (where we started from Place Liedts and suddenly I realized how the train tracks and railway have divided the area into two totally different worlds), my research, and my imagination, I came up with the idea of putting the railways under the ground. In this regard, the new station would be accessible from both sides: the Northern Quarter and also the Quartier Brabant.

The new masterplan is an attempt to blur the boundaries and disparity of the east and the west by transferring and mixing the two unique characteristics, architecture, urban fabric, and elements of the two. The strategies to carry out this intervention consisted of removing the main obstructive border – the railway station and track by moving it underground. New roads and paths were added to allow the seamless continuity of flow from one side to the other.
Diagonal roads which are radiating out of landmark points were a key feature of the east was emulated on the west. Strategies to densify the west, similarly to the east, comprised of bringing back the old block formations that existed here before the new Manhattan plan was built, this also revealed the river Senne that used to run along the site which the new site plan has brought back to establish new green and blue networks.
