Pour quelles raisons les hommes ont-ils bâti et édifient-ils, aujourd’hui encore, des constructions qui dépassent en hauteur leur environnement naturel, plus hautes que celles de leurs voisins ou de leurs prédécesseurs ?Donjons, clochers, gratte-ciel, grues, châteaux d’eau : la typologie de ces ouvrages est riche. Ils répondent à des besoins et des usages différents, souvent techniques et parfois symboliques. Emblématique de la réussite économique et du pouvoir, la recherche de hauteur s’est mondialisée mais elle ne peut se résumer au simple fait de battre des records. Le relief des Pays de la Loire ne présente pas de hauteurs spectaculaires mais de nombreuses constructions viennent jouer avec ses paysages et conforter l’identité des lieux : Nantes ne serait pas la même sans ses dernières grues, le Sillon et la tour Bretagne, Angers sans ses clochers et les tours de son château…Ce numéro évoque aussi les rares sportifs assez téméraires pour proposer une approche singulière de la hauteur.

Many architects and engineers today believe that the most sustainable building is the one that is never demolished. The third edition of the Chapters series developed by the Belgian architecture firm 51N4E therefore tells the story of the transformation of two office towers from the 1970s according to the principles of reduce-reuse-recycle. Against all odds, the former World Trade Center in Brussels will be repurposed in a previously unimaginable way. After many years of vacancy, the building now stands for a new approach to urban development and becomes a showcase for dealing with building fabric from the 1970s that is threatened with demolition, in a more sustainable way. This publication tells the story of the unlikely journey to obtain the building permit, tracing the events that led to this new lease of life. Starting from the initial dream of dismantling the World Trade Center, it recounts the complex and layered process that shaped the innovative adaptive-reuse project called ZIN. Even if the circular, spatial, and material setup is unique to the project, the concepts and the processes behind it are not. By breaking down the complexity of its components, we can understand what has happened, and—more importantly—what could happen to other buildings as well. That is the reason this publication bares witness: to learn how to not demolish a building.
