Key concepts: Surrender/Resistance – Exponentiality/Singularity – Adapted/Unadapted
Surrender-Resistance is a design studio centred on experiment and speculation. It proposes a moment of reorientation or re-set, and aims at a reflection on critical points of architectural interest. The core of the studio’s approach is the relation of the student with a phenomenon, problem or experience, and its associated critical points or singularities where known laws no longer apply, become extreme, or even contradictory. Surrender/Resistance invites an apprehension of issues from the perspective of extremes, of apparent contradiction, ambivalence and paradox.
This year, the half century of work and practice of Antwerp-based TOP-office/Luc Deleu will be the studio’s reference and source. The studio will engage with a selection of works, ideas and approaches of this office, drawing upon the notion of the UN:ADAPTED. It will run parallel to the exhibition ‘Future Plans’ at the Flanders Architecture Institute. The results of the master-studio will be part of a public showcase, and possibly be included in the finissage of the exhibition at deSingel.
