What if a built environment has lost its meaning and purpose, and what if the building is not to be refurbished or provided with a new program? What if this building – awaiting demolition – is not demolished, but simply kept as it is? What if its ruinous state opens up the absolute possibility of an experimental Space? Re-discovering, re-exploring and re-defining other ways of life?”
With the projet CARITAS, Jan de Vylder, Inge Vinck and Jo Taillieu won the Silver Lion for a promising young participant in the 16th International Architecture Exhibition – La Biennale di Venezia in 2018.
The lecture cycle THIS WILL FEED THAT is organised by the Luxembourg Center of Architecture (LUCA) in collaboration with the Master in Architecture of the University of Luxembourg. From February to May 2019, this cycle focuses on architecture’s impact on the urban tissue and development and presents a few purposefully chosen projects. Each of the four planned lectures is devoted to one architect and one project.
