Brussels is still dealing with what remains of a not so distant industrial past. Bringing back production to the city cannot be only a matter of competitiveness, demand and supply, or a matter of efficient organisation of the material and infrastructural supports. It is also a matter of working conditions and work spaces. As a group, we consider that working today should not be about making money but about remaking life. This work is an exploration of three situations (Recyclart, Zinneke and Smart) and the design of a process to implement "a project of doors". by involving other local actors in the governance of the building, the project of doors promises to expand beyond the walls of the building, having the potential to transform the ecosystem of the whole neighbourhood.
