Serra – Un Soggiorno Segreto, 2020 - with Stefanie Everaert

MARCH 2020.

Exhibitions are cancelled, teaching moves to the virtual world, projects are postponed. Anticipated adventures turned into disappointments.

Meanwhile, living and working from a compact flat in the centre of Ghent is proving increasingly difficult due to the suffocating measures in the city centre. We decide to move to an empty conservatory on the outskirts of Ghent and build a special place to work, relax, camp,… during the summer.

Meanwhile, the conservatory continues to grow into a meeting place where we make plans with fellow architects, makers, teachers, galleries, designers and visitors of all kinds. Its original function is also preserved, only it takes on a different form.

The greenhouse became more than an escape route for Covid. It raises questions and is critical of the city in lockdown. It invites to meet and work together. A work in progress where experimentation is allowed without an explicit final goal.
