CONTEXT, LOCATION.

The coal town of Cheratte is located in a suburban area along the river Meuse.

The infrastructure is enclosed on each side by different types of “ barriers” : the Meuse, the wooded hill, the motorway and the railway.

CONSTRAINTS.

- The coal mining area is enclosed.

- It’s hardly accessible within its perimeter.

- The coal mining has a very massive and compact aspect (reading of the different functions ! ?…).

- The hill is a sort of barrier between the higher and the lower parts of Cheratte.

- None of the different footpaths of the hill leads to the mine.

- The motorway encloses Cheratte strongly with regard to Wandre.

- The centre of Cheratte is fictitious and monotonous.

- A lot of buildings in the coal mining area have been destroyed.

- This coal site is set up in the heart of housing estates.

- The village has a lack of dynamism.

SUGGESTIONS.

New functions :

- a museum illustrating the differents jobs in industry.

- a place where people can show, buy and sell second-hand materials (an indoor market).

- To make the place more accessible on its perimeter.

- To restructure the industrial block of buildings.

- To use the coal mining as a link between the higher and the lower parts of Cheratte.

- To use a part of the infrastructure so as to make the way to the hill easier.

- Not to put in place an architecture that competes, imposes or dominates what already exists.

- To preserve a maximum of the buildings, the aspect and the soul of the place.

- To privilege the circulation, transition and junction between the different functions.

- To use the relief and the height of the building so that the place can be shown to advantage and the different spaces can be clarified (museum).

- To requalify the coal mining area as the centre of Cheratte (as it was initially).

- To set up a scenography along an educational route throughout the museum.

Bovenaanzicht van een stedenbouwkundige maquette met een compact complex van verschillende gebouwvolumes, torens en verhoogde loopbruggen tussen de bebouwing. Kleine boomvormige elementen en gekleurde accenten markeren de openbare ruimte en benadrukken de relatie tussen het ontwerp en de omliggende wijk.
Architectuurmaquette van een industrieel geïnspireerd ontwerp met meerdere gebouwen, loopbruggen en verhoogde platforms binnen een ommuurde of afgebakende omgeving. Het model toont de onderlinge samenhang van volumes, circulatieroutes en open ruimtes, met op de achtergrond een groot hellend landschap of talud.
