FOAMGLAS® at BOZAR Brussels

The Centre for Fine Arts in Brussels, more commonly known as BOZAR, was designed by the architect Victor Horta (1861-1947). Unlike his famous Art Nouveau buildings, the Palace of Fine Arts is a typical example of Art Deco architecture.

Horta wanted to turn the flat roofs into a terrace for the public, with a panoramic view of the Royal Palace and across the city of Brussels. But the final details were gradually dropped from the program. In 2019-2021, the Art Deco building was restored in line with architect Victor Horta's original plans.

The terrace has now been made accessible to people with reduced mobility and a lift is available to take visitors to the roof. The roof itself is also scheduled to host exhibitions of imposing statues and sculptures. To do so, the insulation must be able to withstand extreme loads. This requirement, combined with fire safety, made FOAMGLAS® cellular glass the perfect material for this magnificent project.
