Throughout the week we visit design offices and cultural institutions in Ghent to get a better sense of productive making spaces, and how they operate. On the other hand we collectively design and build structures in a way that is both methodical and intuitive.<\/p>\n<p>Taking the campus as our starting point, we invite you to think about a <strong>flexible, built infrastructure<\/strong> that can serve <strong>multiple purposes<\/strong> in our classrooms. This could take the form of a modular system of legs and carriers, to be arranged into tables, displays, shelving, seating, ornaments, and more. An extensive stock of recycled material is available to work with.<\/p>\n<p>We start by <strong>designing connection principles <\/strong>that are strong, reversible, and repeatable. From there, we can move towards larger forms, <strong>structures, and typologies<\/strong> that respond to different needs. But first, we put them to use by organizing a celebration together on Friday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This workshop is organized within Lab-O, part of the academic bachelor&#8217;s program in Architecture and Interior Architecture at KU Leuven, Faculty of Architecture.
