The better our intervention, the stronger the evidence that architecture is primarily about the smart preparation of space.<\/p>\n<p>It remains an experiment, but it is not a whim.<br \/>\nThe assignment is concrete, the client is known.<br \/>\nThe experiment is also part of a series: from the WTC experience in Brussels, over Canal we are now looking for aspects of this nomadic school in Ghent.<\/p>\n<p>The exercise also wants to strengthen relations towards other studios:<br \/>\n-Field station studio and AOB, because of the inspiring character of an open source station as a laboratory for new spacial programs.<br \/>\n-The Wicked habitation studio and AOB that investigates the essence of our being in relation to the given &#8216;space&#8217; and who will also provide the boat as a case in semester 2.<\/p>\n<p>But we are primarily practical, hands-on, doers, makers. From quick concepts to execution drawings and construction plans to carpentry and assembly of intelligent and multi-purpose space.<br \/>\nTemporary interventions interspersed with fixed optimizations of a boat (or two) that is already full of character.<\/p>\n<p>One project, multiple parts. Enough to challenge you both in design and construction.<br \/>\nWho said the school does not offer real site experience?<br \/>\nWho claims that there is no chance of implementing something that you have designed yourself?<\/p>\n<p>Here we go !<\/p>\n<p>Week 1-3<br \/>\nThe weather is still nice: we are working on the casco shelter.<br \/>\nWe place a staircase, close a leak, we replace a bottom board, we lay a lick of anti-rust paint.<br \/>\nWe get to know the boat in all its details. We provide a clean site layout.<br \/>\nThe smarter this first step, the more comfort we will get later.<\/p>\n<p>Week 4 to 6<br \/>\nIt&#8217;s raining, we design. On the boat or in the studio. As long as we stay warm.<\/p>\n<p>Week 7<br \/>\nWe are making decisions: what is utopia, what is achievable.<br \/>\nWhat is fixed infrastructure, what is temporary?<br \/>\nWhich components will be implemented.<br \/>\nWhich do we outsource, which do we make ourselves?<\/p>\n<p>Week 8 to 13<br \/>\nIt is cold, but it is good as long as we are moving.<br \/>\nFortunately we have already a roof over our heads.<br \/>\nMaybe a heat gun.<br \/>\nBut the smell of freshly sawn wood makes up for everything.<\/p>\n<p>Week 14<br \/>\nDelivery.<br \/>\nFrom the evaluation of plan sets for future components to the experience of scale 1\/1 interventions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tutor: Carl Bourgeois en Jasmien Wouters Engagement: Mediating Tactics Academic year: 2019-2020 Two barges, flat boats.
