This book looks back at the now-completed project for constructing the new fire station for the Charleroi Fire Brigade. All sketches, plans, drawings and diagrams illustrate the intense links existing between the architectural design and the building's functionality. Designed for sustainability and top energy and environmental performance, the fire station's structures, the selected materials and their use, together with the design of the specific fire-fighting facilities and the project management quality, have all contributed to achieving a building making things as comfortable and harmonious as possible for on-duty firemen, as can be seen in the photos of the site and the series of photos of the building and its inhabitants taken by Brussels photographer Marie-Françoise Plissart. This project was realized by the architectural and engineering firm, Philippe SAMYN and PARTNERS.
