Abstract
|
|
|
|
| Inspired by promising design research—such as Brainport Smart District and Regenvillages—this project explores pilot projects that integrate material flows and energy systems, in the Belgian city of Antwerp. The Design Sciences Hub [DSH] of the Antwerp University together with Jan Bunge conducts this design research. While the capping of the existing ring road is decided policy, organising the priority agenda—which part of this mega project to execute first—is still subject of ongoing design interpellations. These interpellations follow the methodology of ‘rebuild by design’ resulting in broad consensus for executing certain parts. Following this logic, however, the residual spaces are often more likely to remain as such. Nevertheless, studying these residual spaces unveils potential projects in multi-layering the necessary components of the city metabolism, making residue into resources—and unlocking efficiencies by connecting infrastructure systems which too often are planned in isolation. This project serves as an incubator of innovative research and a test case in a quest for the future healthy city. |
