I do not question if Brussels is a metropolis. It is so-called the capital of Europe. Opposite to the lack of sunshine this city has many cultures. What I really find is the vibe it has for the cultural activities. Botanique is a holly place for this respect. During the Nuits 2013, I had very pleasing gigs at the Museum. Hope to see you next year!
Some houses in Belgium are ugly.
and some architects keep building ugly houses…
Horizontal or vertical, this is the question.

The frames in this building are renewable. Sustainable architecture, eco-houses or green buildings are not referring to this but related. If your building is environmentally responsible and resource-efficient you may call it green. Technology helps you to create such constructions but I find it rather a catchy concept to make more money than for sustainability. In the past we used to have natural houses meaning build totally local; here I mean the carbon footprint. Today, in this sophisticated eco-house could be build by construction material that is sent overseas, etc. What is also interesting is having an eco-house and driving a SUV to your garage or decorating your home with furniture that is harmful to nature. Anyway instead of painting the facade of this building in Brussels a green framework is in my opinion a nice example of green building applications that you can do without any expense. Enjoy the renewal with changing seasons.

A nice and lively part of alternative Brussels, around the Chapelle church and the railway station which houses an art center – Recyclart.

I do not want to be part of this scene, in megapol Istanbul city has been transformed rapidly. Ugly buildings are built to accomodate millions during the 70s and now uglier residentials are popping up. This ghost building is located in Sariyer Istanbul.
3 weeks of silence. I have returned from holidays, time to post again.
Sun is here since last Friday afternoon, a week of summer in Brussels. Tonight, rain is forecasted though. Temperatures will drop from 30 to 20s. I do not mind, leaving for holidays in a week.

I always keep saying, Brussels is a big village with constant construction.
