Neither a new town nor a university campus, Louvain-la-Neuve is the vision of a built landscape with the ambitions of a city, where society and science meet, driven by the same cultural commitment. As the university town celebrates its half-century of existence, it is already the image of an incessant stratification, building on the dream of its founders to respond to new challenges. 

The triptych seeks to capture these "rewritings" by examining the trajectory of the Louvain-la-Neuve dream. It weaves together different scales and timeframes: a kaleidoscope of building forms, fragments with an infinite number of combinations that silently forge a new identity for Louvain-la-Neuve; the palimpsest of the territory that reveals both the historical depth of the city's construction process and the disappearance of the landscape, outlining a reinvention of the peripheries; a capriccio in the form of a dreamlike vision that extends the heritage of the conurbation and reconsiders its conceptual foundations. The three images tell the story of the multiple challenges of an extraordinary collective history. A history that has yet to be (re)written.
