'Energia Inowrocławia' - a conceptual design for a new cultural and educational building in Inowrocław, Poland.

The cultural and educational program is organised around a central patio, introducing natural daylight and providing a clear point of orientation throughout the building.

The project was developed with Gosia Neumann, Diana Pachulska, Grzegorz Tęgowski and August Grzemska. Landscape proposal by Frederik De Smedt. by @fictionforms

I'm excited to share that our proposal has been awarded 3rd place in the international architecture competition 'Energia Inowrocławia', for the conceptual design of a new cultural and educational building in Inowrocław, Poland.

The competition called for a place where the people of Inowrocław could share knowledge and stories connected to the city's long history of salt mining and its cultural heritage.

Our proposal begins with a reading of the mining landscape and its architectural typologies. These logics are translated into a public building that unfolds as a sequence of spaces, moving between memory and future use.

The project was developed with Gosia Neumann, Diana Pachulska, Grzegorz Tęgowski and August Grzemska. Landscape proposal by Frederik De Smedt.

Many thanks to @a2p2_pl for organising the competition and for preparing such a thoughtful brief.
Thanks also to @wydmy_studio for producing the atmospheric renderings. by @fictionforms

Exchange in Practice 2026, a joint initiative by the Nieuwe Instituut and the Vlaams Architectuurinstituut (VAi), brought together practitioners exploring alternative positions within architecture today. The premise of the assembly revolved around a fundamental aspect of spatial practice: working with and around constraints, especially those that render the built environment more rigid and uniform. During the two-day conference in Rotterdam, we questioned these dominant logics, while discussing approaches that engage with uncertainty, and layered social and material realities.

This week we concluded Weiterbauen 3.0, a studio co-tutored with Mechthild Stuhlmacher and Freek Dendooven at @arch_kuleuven. The studio focused on the redevelopment of Het Trappenhuis, a brutalist school building from 1960s. Congratulation to all the students for their hard work and fantastic results. The studio is part of the exhibition at @supersalonkul, on view at Twiggy until Monday 12/1. by @fictionforms

As part of the seminar ‚Designing with the Underground: the Einstein Telescope’, we visited the former mining site in Plombières to study the geological layers, mining heritage, and infrastructural traces that frame our exploration for the upcoming project.

I’m happy to look back on Tafelzetting #13, currently on view at de Singel.

The installation reflects on the overlooked territories along Antwerp’s Ring Road - a series of ‘islands’ where infrastructure and nature meet. The project brings together fieldwork, photography, and storytelling to explore and reinterpret these landscapes in motion, as seen from the vantage point of de Singel.

Thanks to everyone who visited and engaged with the work.

This semester I'll be teaching a master design studio titled 'Extractive Landscapes. On Being Resourceful' at KU Leuven.
The studio explores present and past extractive, terra-, and transformative practices taking place in the Kempen basin in Belgian Limburg. The early days of the Industrial Revolution brought mining operations to the region, along with rapid urbanisation, railways, and roads, which forever altered the preexisting landscape. We will follow one of these routes - the N74 road, and use it as an exploratory axis for the project.
Today, as a new future is being drawn for the N74 route, Limburg’s landscape will once again be subject to change. The redevelopment of the road presents an opportunity to critically examine the amount of energy used in extraction, demolition, production, and construction practices, both past and present. @arch_kuleuven by @fictionforms

The project ‘Productive Commons’ is an ongoing research into spaces of light production and urban manufacturing, existing in Keilekwartier in Rotterdam.

Proposed interventions examine the future of the area, by identifying and utilising harbour’s post-industrial relicts.
How can we retain harbour’s productive character, while responding to the growing needs for the transformation?

The project was realised with studio Iza Slodka, Federica Zetta, Adi Samet and @dividual.office by @fictionforms
