Retooling Design discusses a design discourse in which the superiority of materials is key. These materials will be developed in products with an increasingly layered functionality. The study outlines a starting position in which smart materials (shape memory polymers) can fulfil an expanding range of tasks in the future. A horizon in which reaction mechanisms can develop, which can also adapt to the relentless pace of the public and its environment, resulting in flexible patterns of use and management. An ars combinatoria, which encourages us to reflect and admire.

In 2007 Bruno Vandermeulen (KU Leuven) and Danny Veys (LUCA Campus Sint-Lukas Brussels) applied for a grant from the Institute for Practice Based Research of the Association KU Leuven to develop a project on photography and archaeology. In 2008 the project '(in)site, site-specific photography revised, carried out at the archaeological site Sagalassos' started.

What significance architecture could possibly have, what role it could play and what form it could take are questions that can no longer be satisfactorily addressed within the limitations of the research field of architectural history and theory. The research question “What can architecture potentially be?” is a fundamental problem of architectural theory. Whenever the potential dimension of architecture as medium of communication is at stake, architecture should be approached as a 'cultural' practice. One of the premises of the present study is the exploration of methods and tools to conceive of the potential role of architecture as shaping, deconstructing, mediating and generating a tangled web of human identities, -individual and collective-, within a well defined but dynamic spatio-cultural context. The underlying hypothesis is that if culture-specific concepts of ordered space and built form can be studied as a force rather than as a stable entity, the potentiality of architecture will be better understood. Given the fact that every spatio-cultural constellation is a dynamic entity that is continually in motion (from generation over disintegration to revitalization), there is a need to introduce the issue of change. To study the issue of change from an architectural point of view, the conceptual framework is represented by the tension field of tradition and modernity. One of the objectives of the present dissertation is to add something to these debate on tradition and modernity by exploring one of the tension field’s polar ends, -tradition-, in relation to a number of faculties that are usually associated with its implied opposite, modernity. The cultural matrix investigated in this dissertation is Bhutan, one of the world's most secluded, hitherto well-preserved and uncharted 'living' architectural traditions. Bhutan is a small independent Himalayan Buddhist kingdom where one can still observe a blend of centuries-old (rural) architectural traditions, and the first attempts to introduce and structure urban space as the materialization of a ‘modern’ (urban) condition. How can, -in the light of the research question and the proposed conceptual framework-, a detailed study of Bhutan’s traditional dwelling culture contribute to a more dynamic definition of tradition? Leaving aside the fact that in Bhutan the tension field of tradition and modernity is embodied by distinct architectural figures of village and city respectively, the real fascination for Bhutan as contextual framework comes forth from the observation that some of the faculties that are associated with the ‘transitory’ concept of modernity are more likely to be found in Bhutan’s traditional condition than in its imported version of built space. Indeed, in Bhutan there is presumptive evidence that factors such as change, impermanence, ambiguity, tolerance, deconstruction and reconstruction are celebrated as exponents of Bhutanese traditionality. This process of negotiation is facilitated by the fact that Bhutanese tradition is not a fossilized body of habits and conventions, but is rather based on an outlook that permits and even stimulates change. This dynamic feature of Bhutanese tradition is particularly obvious in its building and dwelling culture, which presents us with remarkable evidence of the intimate relation between culture and architecture. That is why Bhutanese traditional building and dwelling culture is the focus of the dissertation.

Architect dr. Jo Van Den Berghe en componist dr. Jeroen D'hoe vinden elkaar in het artistiek onderzoeksproject New Feet for 5 Years a Minute. De synesthesie tussen architectuur en muziek tast grenzen af en genereert nieuwe architecturale en muzikale compositiemogelijkheden die de waarnemer meenemen in een wervelende beleving van ruimte en klank, ge-time-de leegte en plaatselijk ontgrensde tijd. Architecturale ruimtes ontstaan simultaan met het muzikale tijdspad en monden uit in een provocatief klank-beeld-verhaal dat bewust ontregelend werkt op het net- en trommelvlies van de deelnemende toeschouwer. Doorheen het gezamenlijk (ver)beelden van zintuiglijke ervaringen exploreren de onderzoekende kunstenaars 'andere' concepten van ruimte en tijd.

Breuckland is a post-crisis utopia for dense yet ordinary urban living. Not very different from Brooklyn, Breuckland is the alter ego of the contemporary metropolis, offering an uncompromised testing ground as an alternative to standard discourse on urban strategies, the rhetoric of sustainability, and iconographic thinking about the city. No longer vulnerable to threats such as the foreclosure crisis, the rising sea level, and gentrifying real-estate operations, the contemporary city is looking at Breuckland as a playground for design research on newarchitectural strategies.A threefold utopian image of Brooklyn presents an extrapolation of several architectural projects and urban design interventions that touch on a variety of strategies concerning housing, infrastructure, and services. Spaced throughout the borough of Brooklyn, these projects transform the city fabric into Breuckland as a response to the monoculture in urban space making.Breuckland as designed utopia is a tool to transform, derail, reinvent, and crossbreed existing modes of operations and their associated physical forms. No longer proposing one overall solution on a tabula rasa, Breuckland looks at a variety of strategies.
