Abstract
Two pioneers of the Belgian modern movement architect Huib Hoste and urban planner Louis Van der Swaelmen, designed the Klein Rusland garden district between 1921 and 1923. In order to develop a renovation strategy for the district - with respect for the heritage values on the one hand and the improvement of the liveability on the other hand - a living lab project was set up. The entire district suffers from various modifications and additions over time with negative impact on the architectural features of the entire district. Preliminary research was executed to identify the heritage values, the authentic materials, the construction principles, the damage phenomena and the historical colour schemes. This study also addresses objectives of basic comfort standards and improvement of the energetic performances. The final scope of this project is to extrapolate the outcome of the restoration tests to the other buildings within the Klein Rusland garden district and to similar interwar constructions in general.
