Young people from our neighbourhood came along with TAJO to learn about the profession of architecture. In three workshops, they demonstrated their talents through play and got to work on some crucial themes from our profession. The collaborators of and Robbrecht en Daem, together with TAJO, made it an exploratory afternoon:
Workshop 1: floating house (problem-solving thinking). Imagine: Ghent is flooded and all kinds of waste materials float to the surface. Build a floating house that will pass the test and remain afloat on Robbrecht en Daem’s pond.
Workshop 2: living plan (measuring and fitting, scale). Furnish rooms in our hall on a giant 1:1 scale model of a dream house, first prepared on paper on a 1:10 scale. To measure is to know!
Workshop 3: a sense of façade (materials, textures, colour and composition). The façade of Murmuur is getting new materials. Come and shop in our materials library for your mood board and focus on texture and colour palette. Rubbing each material with wax crayons gives it a different look.
