Om emnet
Studio Positions propose an ongoing program of research and studio teaching within the framework of Speculative futures, through work based and theoretical research. Over four semesters the studio aims to question and develop innovative critical and sustainable approaches to architecture.
In autumn 2024, the studio is part of a European collaboration project (BIP), European cities in transition: Charleroi – River Sambre, with five other architecture schools in Europe and local actors.
The students will critically examine the legal and economic circumstances and consequences of selected historical and contemporary case studies of human actions in matters related to the environment and animal welfare. The material will be collected in an archive that will form a common source of knowledge for the workshop in Belgium in October 2024.
The workshop will consist of field-studies operating in the blurred zone between the rural landscape and the city, documenting in different media the multiidentity of the river, aiming for an expanded portrait of the river.
