MUSEE ALLEE DU KAAI MUSEUM

Due to the current situation we’ve decided to cancel our colloquium on the 12th of January. But we will launch our new book. No matter what. How? We’ll open the 12th a museum for one day. For us, the temporary character of our projects is synonymous with flexibility. We adapt the space to ever-changing needs, we experiment with new forms. Experimentation is in the DNA of Allee Du Kaai. So, we decided to transform the space into a museum for one day. You can pass by, discover it by yourself our you can book a guided tour to get more explanation. And that’s not all, you can leave with our brand new book (free donation) about Allee Du Kaai in your hands.

You can book a time slot here.

About the book

A book about Allee Du Kaai,
that temporary project in the North of Brussels
between Havenlaan and Materialenkaai.

Our first book “Leegstond” combined our practical experience with the results of four years of intensive research into vacant spaces throughout Belgium. This book is a practical guide for those who want to temporarily occupy an empty building.*

Our book "Allee Du Kaai" brings together our experiences in a particular neighborhood undergoing a mega-transformation, shares our successes and failures and asks questions about our role in the city.

Everyone can find something interesting in this book. Those who have never been here before can join a guided tour, urbanists and architects can learn from our work on the site, our peers, partners and volunteers can get lost in a nostalgic trip through all the photos and politicians can take inspiration from this manifesto for an alternative in the city, a plea for free havens.
