"As a damaged, abandoned and outdated location, Charleroi’s site represents an interesting subject to the Productive City. It looks essential to develop a new vision of productivity in industrial sites other than adding or creating. First, it was about looking the existing elements and then, give them a second life using a transformation process. In addition, these existing buildings made the glory of the region by the past and became a part of the local heritage we have to preserve."
