House of the People (Brussels) : ウィキペディア英語版 | Maison du Peuple
The ''Maison du Peuple'' (French) or ''Volkshuis'' (Dutch) ("House of the People") in Brussels, was one of the largest works of Belgian architect Victor Horta, in the Art Nouveau style, opened on 2 April 1899. It was commissioned by the Belgian Workers' Party (POB-BWP). Its demolition in 1965, and replacement with by a skyscraper, is regarded as one of the foremost examples of "Brusselization". ==Building== In spite of a rather restrictive very irregular building place along a circular square and on a slope, Horta succeeded to construct a (building ) with maximum functionality. The building provided rooms for several aims like offices, coffee shops, shops, meeting rooms and a party hall. The building had been mainly constructed in white iron (more than 600,000 kilogrammes). Fifteen craftsmen worked for eighteen months on the iron work. To make this construction possible, Horta drew no less than 8,500 square meters of plans. The building was completed in 1899 and was considered a master work. Because of the experimental combination of brick, glass and steel this building was considered as an example of modern architecture. It was situated on Place Emile Vandervelde, near to the Sablon.
