Who doesn’t know the “Oud Sint-Jansite” in the
middle of the historic city of Bruges? But do you really know it?
Our integrated project work has tried to understand first this rather
complex site in all its dimensions. This diagnosis helped us in
a second step to redefine a Masterplan for the site in order to
give it back its identity. At its foundation in the 12th century,
the “Sint-Janhospitaal” was the only socio-medical institution
in the city. The hospital included a huge refreshing green medieval
garden where patients could relax.
The quietness of this open space contrasted with the crowdie commercial
life in the streets of Bruges; once merchants, today tourists. The
enclosed garden was the perfect place where the soul of the patient
could be cured; the body got welfare inside. Times changed; more
functional space was needed; green became parking. Whereas the monuments
are still preserved, the spirit of the site is lost.

The observatory of Cointe was built in 1881 by the provincial architect
of Liege, Lambert Noppius. It is a neo-gothic brick construction
with some additions in the 1960's. The complex was used as an astrophysics
institute until 2000. Nowadays, the owner is the Ministry of Equipment
and Transport of the Walloon Region. The building is empty but it
will soon receive a new function.
