Die denken dat dat allemaal vanzelf gaat
Proposal for a Dovecote
2017
A proposal for a site in Wilrijk, which circulated around an old dovecote. The proposal is developed in the context of De Meesterproef 2017, an architectural competition for the reformulation of heritage sites in Flanders, and was initiated by Vlaams Bouwmeester (BE).

The dovecote is seen as a symbolic meetingpoint to initiate conversations between the various players surrounding Hof Ter Beke, and to let them engage in a staged dialogue in the Dovecote itself. In addition, a large billboard is placed alongside the A12 highway, where varying quotes from the conversations with the partaking players are displayed.

Eventually this project is never realised, for the commissioner decided to put the result of the competition aside and involve an outside architect.

In relation to the proposal it can be seen as an ironic coincidence, as a proof of how organisations that share the same space can differ from eachother.
