Sketching the city: Flagey in Brussels

How well do you know Flagey? Our illustrator Zsofi made this drawing about one of the most popular places in our city. The former “Maison de la Radio Flagey”, a building in the shape of a giant steamship, was re-opened in September 2002. The structure was built between 1935 and 1938 by an architect Joseph Diongre. It was named after Eugene Flagey, the mayor of Ixelles/Elsene. In 1988, the building got a new owner and it became “Maison de la Radio Flagey”. 

Don’t miss the other drawings on our website, we recommend Flagey neighborhood map  and the one about Palais de Justice 🙂

She loves architecture, history and little-known facts about Brussels, so if you have any, send them her way. You can learn more about her at her website.
