Le Ring

LE RING

The quirky ring-shape offers an authentic Belgian safari. The suburbia's typical hybrid landscape consists of an eclectic mishmash of offices and forests, allotments and fields, ribbon development and industry

THE ROUTE

The ring road does not resemble a circular road. Although, with some sense of imagination, one can recognise the letter B, upside down and mirror-inverted, in it.

SURROUNDING LAND(SCAPE)

The intermediate city is in a constant dynamic transition where suburbanisation is taking up more and more open space.

On a mountain hike, you can observe four seasons in one day. The same principle also applies to this zone, in one day you can walk through a metropolis, stroll past residential areas and then turn into a sunken road next to a field and end on a road with ribbon development
