As part of the exhibition ‘The Ambition of the Territory’, Art Campus deSingel will be turned into a studio for design and research in which experts from home and abroad, societal actors, policy-makers and citizens will gather together to give shape to a project for tomorrow's Flanders. From November 2012 to January 2013, design studios will be held, and conferences will take place, as well as a seminar.
On Thursday 13 December 2012 we welcome the British architect Carolyn Steel for a lecture. She will talk about her book ‘Hungry City. How Food shapes our lives’.
'Hungry City' follows food’s journey from land to city, through market and supermarket, kitchen and table, waste-dump and back again, to show how food affects all our lives, and impacts on the planet. It addresses the question how we could use food to re-think cities in the future – to design them and their hinterlands better, and live in them better too.
