With three laureates accepted<\/a> to present at the annual exhibition of the \u2018Flanders Design Week\u2019 (Week van het Ontwerpen \u2013W\/0) 2018, the Faculty of Architecture \u2018continues\u2019 to radiate and publish the high standard of its graduating students.<\/p>\n

This may well be a perfect timing to report on the work of previous W\/0 awarded students who did not get the attention and exposure they deserved on the Faculty\u2019s website as yet. One of these alumni students is Magali Cleemput<\/strong> (graduation June 2017) who was nominated and finally selected as one of the few laureates for the category \u2018Architecture\u2019 of the W\/0 \u2013 2017 edition.<\/p>\n

Within the Faculty\u2019s International Master of architecture, she developed her master dissertation project under the supervision of prof.dr.arch. Marc Dujardin\u2019s arCsus Lab<\/a> (architecture-CULTURE-sustainability) in close co-operation with the innovative architecture studio RAAAF from Amsterdam.<\/p>\n

The central theme and research question of this particular master dissertation design studio centers around the topic of \u2018Diversity, Vacancy & Affordances: Towards spatial strategies that provides handles to rethink both hopeful and seemingly hopeless vacancies\u201d. The project site investigated the former NDSM Shipyard of Amsterdam. Magali focused on re-thinking usage of one of the shipyard\u2019s most iconic edifices: the largest launching ramp referred to as the \u2018Y-Helling\u2019 (helling means ramp).<\/p>\n

\u201cFrom industrial footprint to kaleidoscopic space: re-designing the NDSM Y-Helling as common place from the perspective of landscape urbanism\u201d by Magali Cleemput (2016-2017). This project forms an integral part of the wall of fame at the M2M House, home base of the arCsus-RAAAF research modus. For more information contact marc.dujardin@kuleuven.be<\/a>.<\/p>\n
