The Schuman makeover already has a long history. The Brussels region launched an international design competition "One Schuman" back in 2009 or 2010! Local firm XDGA (cf. Place Rogier) came out as a winner, but their proposal never materialised amid financial and technical gisagreements. A new competition was launched in 2015, and resulted in the Cobe-Brut-plan that we still have today.
8 years after the announcement of the winner of the second competition, it seems the works are about to start... the beginning of a new chapter for this iconic spot in #Brussels. More about its history here: https://thecitygeek.tumblr.com/post/116803969589/from-belle-epoque-suburb-to-eu-hq
