<strong><a href="http://www.rapanui.be/" target="_blank">RapaNui</a>, a NPO in Brussels, is designed to provide a roof and a local designers and artists in abandoned buildings.</strong></p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
After conquering the hearts of the people of Brussels and other European travelers with Byrrh, we are now legal occupants of a pyramid-shaped building with incredible potential : The Pyramid ! For nearly 20 years, this pyramid-shaped building housed the platform for <strong>RTL-TVI</strong>.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
With its unconventional dimensions and original architecture, we wish to use it as a landscape for creation, expression and sharing between non-profits, artists and designers of all disciplines.</p>

Already partially restored thanks to our modest internal resources to "oil of elbow", the tip and the mischievousness, our pyramid back to life. But there are some huge and essential works to accomplish: <strong>abandoned since 7 years</strong> and a <strong>part-time fire victim</strong>, disconnected from the electricity network, the pyramid also suffers from design flaws. We are facing many challenges to continue to welcome artists and workshops during the cold of winter. With your help, everything is possible.</p>

We welcome artists, designers, creators, inventors and researchers from all disciplines in their artistic, social or citizen development. For the <strong>season </strong>or<strong> in transient residence</strong>, whether in the light of day in our home or in our underground halls, they take advantage of our spaces and resources to flourish in their discipline. Alongside them, we build creative synergies that only their cohabitation renders possible, by supporting the development of projects and sharing a network of varied skills.</p>

Winter is coming and the heating of the pyramid system is out of service. To not reduce our activities and undermine our project we must find a way to heat it. We must therefore undertake some work and very rapidly acquire <strong>guns heat blowers</strong>, intended for our areas of production. We need your help with the purchase of the equipment.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
On the other hand, face the exorbitant cost of a new connection to the network of our cabin high voltage (> 50,000 €), we are connected to a large power generator. To grant a respite to our planet, we want to <strong>invest in batteries</strong> to store electricity generated at a loss during the day. We could then eat it during night hours.</p>
