BRU.S.L.XL Dr. Petra Pferdmenges, Christopher Paesbrugghe & Nele Stragier initiated the studio BRU.S.L.XL @ KU Leuven (Sint-Lucas Architectuur) in 2015 to research through design with students from the Master of Architecture for visions for the region of Brussels on multiple scales, concentrating upon a different urban area each academic year. Each semester, 15-30 students come up collectively with a vision on the metropolitan urban scale (scale XL). Furthermore, groups of 3-5 students zoom into the scale of the neighbourhood (scale L). Finally each student develops an individual project (scale S). The projects are designed from within the existing spatial & social situation. They propose a transitional urban architecture of the area over 2020 - 2025 - 2030 - 2035 - 2040.
