Call for Projects & Objects
Architecture Workroom Brussels is calling on regional coordinators, landscape designers, farmers and nature organisations, experts, entrepreneurs, and governments to submit projects or objects that demonstrate how sponge landscapes can be designed, organized, and implemented! Contributions from anyone tackling water challenges with a land-based and cross-sectoral approach are welcome.
Submit your project before September 15 and become part of the Open Workroom Sponge Landscapes.
Exhibition and Programme
The OPEN WORKROOM SPONGE LANDSCAPES will be the second in a series of “open workrooms” on the social transformations that Architecture Workroom Brussels committed to for 2023–2026: energy neighbourhoods, sponge landscapes, and societal infrastructure.
During an Open Workroom, we quite literally open the doors of our workplace with a small exhibition linked to a programme of lectures, workshops, and debates on a specific topic, bringing together experts, stakeholders, and pioneers from various disciplines. In this way, we create a space to share knowledge and move forward together.
For the upcoming edition on sponge landscapes, we are collaborating with the Global Commission on the Economics of Water (GCEW), the International Water Management Institute (IWMI), and the UHasselt doctoral network REWORLDING, with the support of the Flemish Department of Culture.
