The chapel was built in 1782 on the site of an initial structure dating from the 16th century, of which no trace remains. Although the name of the architect is unknown, the Walcourt Chapel is part of the quest for character and the sublime which characterises the architecture of the end of the Enlightenment.<\/p>\n

The apparent simplicity of its centered layout inscribed in a square is reinforced by the rigorous composition of its facades. The austere beauty of the Givet-stone cladding is highlighted by a massive entablature. The protruding door frames (en saillie) on the cladding are alone in providing a subtle interplay of shadows. Within, a brick cladding forms a second layer.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t

The Walcourt Chapel was abandoned, in ruin. We were thus able to create a space whose primary utility was to be \"useless\", a place of silence and light.<\/h2>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

After an initial analysis phase based on relatively few elements likely to assist in the restoration project, we chose to restore the volume and interior space without masking the reality of a contemporary intervention.<\/p>\n

The choice of a composite frame \"\u00e0 la Philibert Delorme\", treated with modern materials (veener and stainless-steel keys) is driven by the survey carried out at the beginning of the 20th century by Henri Deneux on a similar structure \u2013 contemporary with the Walcourt Chapel \u2013 located in the northern cemetery of Reims.<\/p>\n

Within, the bareness of the brick walls recalls its status as a ruin and confers to the space an \"ancient\" aesthetic. The contemporary stained-glass windows were imagined as DNA markers meant to evoke the parallel between genetic transmission and that of built heritage.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t
