Zomerwijs - Workshop "Landscape and Collage"

On August 22nd, teaching assistants Hong Wan Chan, Elke Dhaenens and Beatriz Van Houtte Alonso organized a workshop on landscape and collages within the context of the yearly Zomerwijs event on campus Zwijnaarde.

Zomerwijs gives children and young teenagers from different schools in and around Ghent a playful introduction to different engineering and design disciplines. In this workshop the participants were invited to do a walk through the campus to carefully observe their surroundings, from which elements were selected and reinterpreted to design their own campus by means of a collage. The main message was that environments are not given static facts but can be acted upon by its users and designers alike.
