Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm passionate ( a fan ) of architecture and the urbanisation of Brussels.
Brussels is one of the most beautiful and at the same time one of the most ugly cities in the world.
I explain: Brussels is beautiful because we have a lot of splendid art-Nouveau / Jügdenstill ( Horta &co) and art-Deco ( VandeVelde ...) houses.
A first glimps of Brussels isn't nice because of the anarchistic way of urbanisation ( architectural term: 'Bruxellisation' that means destruction of great parts of the city without any consultation of the population and/or a global vision).
My participation in CS: I will try to help all the surfers that want to discover Brussels.

------------------------------------------------------

Accro à l'archi et l'urbanisme; je me passionne pour ma ville B(ru)X(e)L(les).
Ma participation: J'essayerais de vous (Surfers)faire découvrir Bxl, sont patrimoine, sont histoire et sa culture ( si mon emploi du temps me le permets)
