My work aims to integrate with the overall concept of the Vëlodukt, creating a connection between nature, architecture, and Belval’s industrial heritage.
The main motif is the reed, inspired by the Belval ponds. Its curved leaves are transformed into abstract bridges, creating a metaphorical link to the Vëlodukt while connecting the project to water and nature.
Different shapes, sizes, and layers create movement and transparency. The red, orange, yellow, and brown tones reference both the Vëlodukt and the industrial history of Schmelz Belval. Parts of the raw concrete remain visible, creating a contrast between the natural and industrial elements.
At the centre, the “Héichuewen” is covered with the same reed-inspired pattern. The visible tips suggest flames and fire, recalling Belval’s industrial past and bringing a metaphorical Héichuewen back into the landscape through nature and contemporary art.
