La Cambre
L'École de la Cambre, more known as La Cambre, is a renowned architecture and visual arts school founded by Henry van de Velde in Brussels in 1926.
Originally founded under the name Institut supérieur des Arts décoratifs, it soon became known as "La Cambre" after the Abbey of la Cambre in Ixelles in which premises it was established.
In 1980, La Cambre was divided into two separate institutions, the École nationale supérieure des Arts visuels (ENSAV), and the Institut supérieur d'Architecture de la Communauté française de Belgique (ISACF). Both institutions belong to the French Community of Belgium. ENSAV is still housed at the abbey while ISACF headquarters is on Flagey Square, on the opposite side of the Ixelles Ponds.
Famous alumni include Olivier Strebelle.

La Cambre (disambiguation)
La Cambre (in Dutch: Ter Kameren or Terkameren) may refer to one of several locations in and around the municipality of Ixelles in Brussels, Belgium:
Bois de la Cambre
Ter Kamerenbos (Dutch) or Bois de la Cambre (French) is an urban public park on the edge of the Sonian Forest in Brussels, Belgium. It has an area of 1.23 square kilometres. The park lies in the south of the Brussels-Capital Region, and in the municipality of the City of Brussels. It is linked to the rest of the municipality by Avenue Louise, which was built at the same time the park was laid out, in 1861.
It comprises a small lake with an island in the centre, called Robinson's island.
History
The park was laid out in 1861 by Édouard Keilig, a German architect. Queen Marie-Henriette, wife of King Leopold II, often went riding in the park. The horsemans' battle bronze group at the entrance is the work of Belgian sculptor Jacques de Lalaing.
On June 17 1815, on the eve of the Battle of Waterloo English soldiers played a cricket match on a ground located in the area currently covered by the Park. Ever since is this area called la Pelouse des Anglais (The Englishmen's Lawn), although few are aware of the name. In 1965, the then British Ambassador in Belgium planted an oak tree and unveiled a bronze plaque to commemorate the 150th anniversary of this sporting and historical event.
