What?

The workshop is built up around a wooden bike track (that some of you might know from our 'Sur Place' exhibition). This track, commissioned by Mediamatic, was designed by DUS Architects. The track will serve as the 'city-ring'. Around it we'll create an urban bamboo landscape. Every hour you'll see the structure grow, until it's a massive bamboo-constructed city. Antoon Versteegde is known for his immense installations constructed in the public space. DUS Architects specialize in social architecture.

Wanna join?

Please RSVP if you want to participate. The chance to work on such a project doesn't come around often, and the workshop will only set you back € 25. This is a three day event, so make sure you RSVP for the day of your choice. Wednesday September 22, Thursday September 23, or Friday September 24.

How and where?

We will be located on the big field of grass in the middle of the Westergasfabriek terrain. Visit our website for the exact location. The workshop takes place from 10.00 - 18.00.
