In full effect...

Our winter semester 2010-2011 design studio is in full effect and running since September 29.

So let me report on what we have done so far and how:


Students meet and work in weekly design studio sessions in the Sint-Lucas school of architecture.

The oikodomos project in the first semester of 2010/2011 is integrated in the International Design Studio in Gent. 61 international students (coming from Finland to South Africa, Japan to Portugal)

We have enrolled 18 of them in the oikodomos project, in 6 teams of three students.


For more information on the course and the school check the website of the Sint-Lucas Master of Architecture at: http://www.architectuur.sintlucas.wenk.be/index.php?id=3228


The overall task consist in the design of a Hybrid Building containing dwellings and a contemporary interpretation of a library. Half of the teams work on a hybrid where the surface of dwellings is higher then the surface allocated to the library, the other half work on the opposite.


The site, called Waalse Krook, is located in the historical centre of Gent.
