PROJECT COMPLETION: 2008
At the heart of an urban revitalization project supported by the ERDF and the Walloon Region, in Ans (Belgium), the Parc Philosophique d'Alleur is a fin-de-siècle-inspired green space. It is reminiscent of the great Parisian parks, with its kiosk, small bridge and large gates. The clearings and promenades named by the Philocité association invite reverie and introspection. A major water harvesting project punctuates this public space project.
