Submission to the “Une frite dans le ventre” (“A fry in the belly”) competition organised by the city of
Brussels
Non-winning project
“FRITE D’UNION” (“UNION FRY”)
Concept:
The “fry” theme, a light and fun symbol of Belgium, is deployed several times in the design of the fritkot (fry stand).
This theme is first found in the building’s elongated shape. Then, the cladding, made of a succession of vertical latticed laths, is an echo of the generous and tasty content of the cone of fries, itself represented in a subtle pattern on the main façade.
