www.ronet.pl IMAGE: Motivation of adopted solutions from the architectural point of view: In the past Gdansk was one of the liveliest and richest cities of Hansa and transit city of the Amber Road. Evocation of its famous typical traditional architecture and of its portal and shipyard activities is rendered through the created sailboat-like volumes. These forms put together with the rough and uncut 'rose of desert' stone or the diamond - symbol of the "...sparkling diamond, the everlasting victory of early morning...", the Victory of "Solidarnosc", creates the basic concept, where the freedom and respect of Mother Nature is the leading idea - where mankind becomes an integral part of Nature as the citizens of the 3rd Millennium. The symbolism of gothic-like southern elevation stresses both the ancient and more recent of Poland's history, tending to tolerance, democracy and freedom. History, which has enabled this wind of freedom, blows full sail to spread it to the world. ARCHITECTURAL CONCEPT: The volumes enclosing the entire functions of the ESC Building should reflect the patterns of the "V" of the 'Solidarnosc' victory symbol and the sail boat like forms, suggesting this "freedom wind" blowing from this important movement. Whole EFC functions are accessible both from the underground parking and from the side of the "Road to Freedom", through the Entrance hall. The openness of internal spaces created by the platforms erected on various levels around two atriums and ...

Antwerpen-Centraal (Antwerp Central) is the name of the main railway station in the Belgian city of Antwerp. The station is operated by the national railway company NMBS/SNCB. History and architecture: The original station building was constructed between 1895 and 1905 as a replacement for the original terminus of the Brussels-Mechelen-Antwerp Railway. The stone clad terminus buildings, with a vast dome above the waiting room hall were designed by Louis Delacenserie and the vast (185 metres long and 44 metres high) iron and glass trainshed by Clement van Bogaert. The viaduct into the station is also a notable structure designed by local architect Jan Van Asperen. The station is now widely regarded as the finest example of railway architecture in Belgium[citation needed], although the extraordinary eclecticism of the influences on Delacenserie's design had led to a difficulty in assigning it to a particular architectural style. In WG Sebald's novel Austerlitz an ability to appreciate the full range of the styles that might have influenced Delacensiere is used to demonstrate the brilliance of the fictional architectural historian who is the novel's protagonist. In 2009 the American magazine Newsweek judged Antwerpen-Centraal the world's fourth most beautiful station. Expansion for high-speed trains: In 1998 large-scale reconstruction work began to convert the station from a terminus to a through station. A new tunnel has been excavated between Berchem station in the south ...

This video gives a small impression of Brussels. This summer we spent there 1,5 day, when we went with our boat, on the way to Paris. Much too short to see all the interesting features of this city! Brussels, the capital of Belgium and the capital city of the European Union, has grown from a 10th-century fortress town founded by a descendant of Charlemagne into a metropolis of more than one million inhabitants. The metropolitan area has a population of over 1.8 million, making it the largest in Belgium. The architecture in Brussels is diverse, and spans from the medieval buildings on the Grand Place to the post-modern buildings of the EU institutions. There are many attractions, like the Grand Place, since 1988 a UNESCO World Heritage Site, with the Gothic town hall in the old center, the St. Michael and Gudula Cathedral, the Church of Saint Jacques-sur-Coudenberg, the Royal Palace, the Royal Galleries of St. Hubert and the Laken Castle with its large greenhouses. Regrettably the Laken Castle was closed in the summer.

UC / DESIGN PRINCIPALS for designing and implementing an urban camping ° UC is erected as a vertical growing landscape: due to a lack of disposable open wide green space in the city ° UC is a three dimensional stacking of campgrounds : it generates different experiences and fascinating vistas ° UC is a durable and self sustaining (=autartic) entity ° UC exist out of minimum 3 and maximum 8 layers of camping grounds ° UC residing tents are always positioned in the open air on a hired privatised platform ° UC circulation is weaved in the supportive structure and restricted in safety and accessibility ° UC is seen as a successive structure : it encourages the personalisation of the place by the camper and allows individual or collective additives to the structure - however no structural transformations are allowed. ° UC is a positive surplus and enrichment for it surroundings ( spatial, light, social, ecological, economical, esthetical ) ° UC respects the rules that every individual should be able to enjoy the qualities of light and sight without disturbing it's surroundings ° UC platforms are each positioned to generate social interaction between travelling users and its sedentary neighbours ° UC is a specific generic but could evolve towards a unique identity, it adapts itself depending to the surroundings but is not a parasite import.export ARCHITECTURE Oscar Rommens and Joris Van Reusel May 12th 2008, Antwerp - Updated June 2010
