for BUILTNOTHING 2 the site for each design is a constant : The Place Lehon in Schaarbeek, Brussels.

- the project brief is for a small city centre school
- each project to integrate the existing local market which occupies the site twice a week
- each project to incorporate the two public basketball courts into the proposals
- the school program to be 50% built and 50% non-built

the city and immediate context to determine the proposals morphology.
the non-built space to determine the spatial sequence of the built.

as with the CASE STUDY investigation, the primary method of design investigation was a (hand made) model, a figureground plan (in context) ,
and a series of plans exploring the relationship between the built and non-built spaces
