logs Approaches promoting targeted densification processes in order to limit urban sprawl are not limited to city centers Territories located in the municipalities of the agglomeration also constitute strategic opportunities for the transformation of urban areas especially those located near public transport and with densification potential But if the question of density is a key quantitative issue it should be considered as a necessary but not sufficient condition the development of these sectors requires optimized consideration of environmental which also raises many qualitative questions for the architectural project The site chosen for the LIVING LANDSCAPE Studio is located at the end of the Lausanne-Echallens-Bercher (LEB) green line in the immediate vicinity of Bercher station This situation gives it a certain potential for densification which must be revealed and defined through the search for creative solutions the site also constitutes a space reconciling landscapes

large chunk of Belgium and radio to Belgium and beyond The Wavre-Overijse transmitter has over the years analogue television AM and FM radio and shortwave radio for both the forerunner of the VRT the BRT(N) and the Francophone public broadcaster RTBF The VRT now only uses the site for DAB radio broadcasts It is currently used by RTBF for its FM broadcast to Walloon Brabant DAB and until the end of this year for the AM broadcasts of its information station La Première Once La Première’s 621 AM frequency goes off the air it will spell the end of AM (better known to some as medium wave) broadcasting in Belgium The VRT switched off the last of its AM transmitters language politics played a role when developing the site The actual transmitting station and the masts are sited on land that is entirely within the borders of the Francophone Walloon town of Wavre some adjacent land was purchased and incorporated into the site and this land is within the boundaries of the Dutch-speaking As you can see from the photographs taken inside the transmitter site building At the heart of the station is a hall where the medium wave and short wave transmitters were housed The shortwave transmitters broadcast programmes in Dutch and French to Belgians abroad above all to our compatriots that were living in what was then the Belgian Congo These broadcasts were the forerunner to what became the VRT’s world service RVI When RVI ceased broadcasting in languages other than Dutch in 2005 the VRT launched Flandersnews.be Flandreinfo.be and Flanderninfo.be to keep non-Dutch-speakers at home and abroad informed about events here in Flanders There are also emergency studios at the site as well as diesel generators that can be used to maintain power to the transmitters in the event of a power cut In 1953 television was broadcast from Wavre-Overijse for the first time The first FM radio broadcasts from the site were in 1973 During a storm in 1983 the 315 meter-high TV FM mast collapsed just two months after its guarantee was up It wasn’t permanently replaced until 1990 when RTBF opened a 220 metre-high mast for its FM and TV broadcasts The VRT built a new FM and television transmitter at a new site at Sint-Pieters-Leeuw In its heyday 30 people worked at the site Shortwave broadcasting from Wavre-Overijse ceased in 2001 The VRT stopped its medium wave broadcasts from the site in 2011 It is likely that the transmitter building will be demolished sometime and the redeveloped The photographs in the slideshow below were taken by our colleague Alexander Dumarey The incident took place at around 8:30pm at a newly opened indoor karting venue in Wavre, a suburban town about 30 kilometres (20 miles) southeast of Brussels. The victims were taken to local hospitals across central Belgium for treatment. "Everyone has been evacuated from the karting site and none of the victims remain in serious danger," Wavre's mayor Francoise Pigeolet said, according to the Belga news agency. Town authorities said about 150 people were in attendance at the event. Media reports said customers two nights earlier had already complained of carbon monoxide fumes. Pigeolet said investigators believed that a faulty ventilation system was the likely cause of the incident. On its Facebook page, Wavre Indoor Karting said it was "obviously deeply sorry about the incident" and gave its "whole-hearted" support to the victims.
