Designing The Absent – Architecture Competition
Pieterjan Grandry is a post graduate student in Visual Arts at St. Lucas School of Arts in Antwerp, Belgium and he’s organising this competition as part of a Masters project. What an inspired idea!
Having seen the cathedral in Antwerp on our travels, we can see why Pieterjan came up with this project; the design goes against the standard design for a religious building of its type i.e. they only built it with one tower than the usual two. We were intrigued by the project when we first saw it and decided to get in touch with Pieterjan and this is what he said…
“This may sound a bit strange – what has art got to do with architectural competitions? But it’s a way to organise an international brainstorm. To make everyone think about the concept ‘absence’. These international ideas will be put together in a book and in a series of exhibitions. These function again as a source of inspiration.”
Closing date 20th April 2010 – For more info and entry pack go here.
