FRIDAY JUNE 29TH , 10.15 - 12.30SINT-LUCAS SCHOOL OF ARTS, Ghent

Our project focuses on the Sint Lucas School of Arts, Ghent, an educational institute found-ed in 1862 to promote the Gothic Revival. The complex was built in a Neo-Gothic style but today much of this past has been erased or neglected.

DIDACTIC MUSEUM

Mirtili Kaffe (GR), eng. architect - Adonis El Khusseyn (RU), architect - Michelle Sofge (US), historian on art and urbanism

The Didactic Museum is one of the first examples of concrete construction in Ghent. Its name is a reference to the collection of didactic objects previously used for instruction, based on a particular method developed at the school. A redesign will maximize its poten-tial as a student exhibition space, without sacrificing its heritage values.

BETHUNE MUSEUM

Lissa Camerlinck (BE), eng. architect - Kitty Sin Tung Man (CA), Studies in conservation and sustain-ability - Aafrin Amir Ali Ajani (IN), architect

The Bethune Museum, originally constructed in 1891, can be thought of as a man-made ruin in the heart of the campus. The structure has undergone many changes, including the destruction of access to its first floor, leaving the museum as a time capsule. Our project proposes revalorizing the Bethune Museum and the surrounding courtyard with a small multifunctional extension.

FRIDAY JUNE 29TH , 13.30 - 16.00ABBEY OF “LA CAMBRE”

WEST BUILDING, Bruxelles

Arezoo Khazanbeig (IR), architect - Chang Geng (CN), urban planner - Louise Kiekens (BE), eng. archi-tect - Fanny Darja (BE), eng. architect

The West building of the Abbey of La Cambre survived a long history of adaptive reuse. Once the abbey’s brewery, it evolved to become “the commons”, enclosing a new neoclas-sical courtyard representative of the 18th century abbey’s new worldly way of living. Its functions kept changing from a farm to a military school, to finally accommodate offices of the National Geographic Institute. Today, its future is threatened again, as its current occupants will move to a new location.

NORTH BUILDING, Bruxelles

Founded in the 13th century by a community of Cistercian women, the Abbey of La Cam-bre flourished until the late 1800s. Shortly before its abolishment, the hemicycle shaped gate building was constructed to form a monumental entrance, completing the neoclassical courtyard. During the last two centuries, the abbey buildings had to adapt to its changing functions with time. Today, their future is again uncertain, as its current occupants will move to a new location.

Our project analyses the relevance of the site of La Cambre in the past and today; and proj-ects the untapped potential of what it can become tomorrow.

THURSDAY JUNE 28TH, 10.45 - 12.15THE HOUSE AND ATELIERS OF JEAN PAUL LAENEN, MechelenSarah Peers (BE), art historian - Stylianos Stefanakis (GR), eng. architect - Alice Paladini (IT), architect - Samvida Rai (IN), architect

The ateliers and house of Jean Paul Laenen are situated at an important location in the city of Mechelen, that is in the Great Beguinage. It is comprised of the old Beguinage houses which were modified and altered by the artist, the atelier which he designed and construct-ed himself, other additions to the house, the Beguinage wall and the gas station which later became his atelier and now houses his works and equipment. The artist had a vision for the site. He wanted the site to be an open sculpture garden, a public place. This site has a very old history, being used for the (world-known) cloth industry from the 13th century, housing the beguines from the 16th century to an inspiring place for an artist since 1951.

THURSDAY JUNE 28TH, 09.00 - 10.30CASTLE “THE CHOKIER”, Flémalle

Pieter Vermeir (BE), eng. architect - Nikki Van de Wall (NL), art historian - Adis Kovacevic (ME), archi-tect - Ziwei Wang (CN), landscape architect

The castle of Chokier is located on a rock overseeing the Meuse. Although its history goes back as far as the 13th century, its current look largely depends on renovations in the sec-ond half of the 18th century. It maintained its residential function throughout the centuries until in March 2017 the East wing and a part of the roof of the South wing were destroyed by a big fire, leaving the castle uninhabited.

FRIDAY JUNE 29TH , 8.30 - 10.00HEFFEL KINDERGARTEN & PRIMARY SCHOOL, Kessel-Lo.

Martina Petrova (BG), architect - Ashley Nicole Quirion (US), historian on art and architecture - Tian-ran Liu (CN), architect - Laura Le Noir (BE), architect

Built in 1960 by Belgian architects Léon Stynen and Paul De Meyer, the Heffel kindergarten and primary school is a modern architectural and historical landmark located in the middle of a typical, residential Flemish neighborhood in Kessel-Lo. Originally designed with the ‘open school’ concept, the school still currently functions in this way as both a functioning school and an after-hours community center. Through archival research, and various urban, social, and technical analysis’, we’ve created a conservation master plan and proposed a new underground extension in order to fully utilize and build upon the heritage values present in the Heffel school.
