Landfill - Landmark
How do you build a museum for the future with the smallest possible footprint?
Neil Michels (Carmody Groarke) and Bram Aerts (ATAMA) take us behind the scenes of their reimagined Design Museum Gent, from reusing existing buildings to turning crushed city waste into bricks. Together they reflect on navigating a historic urban site while meeting the environmental demands of a contemporary cultural institution. Don’t miss this look at what it really takes to make a museum today.
AUDITORIUM 26/27
Lecture series about architecture and urban planning.
NEW! – the idea that true innovation often stems from rediscovering old knowledge, forgotten materials and overlooked
perspectives.
What do we really mean by ‘new’? Maybe we have experienced it before? Perhaps genuine innovation lies not in the unprecedented, but in rethinking what we have left behind. Not as nostalgia, but as a fresh understanding of knowledge, materials and practices — and how they can reshape what we build, make and think.
