Biographies workshop leaders 27 26 #1 Stijn Rybels Stijn Rybels is an architect and urban planner. He is currently assisting in the design studios of the master in urbanism and spatial planning at the faculty of design sciences where he challenges students to think outside of the box when it comes to the use of our infrastructures. He seeks for relationships between mobility and urban development and is currently preparing a PhD on integrated urban mobility systems. Since 2015 he is an active member of the research group for urban development. His research tries to provide insights into the (spatial) factors that influence active mobility. As a convinced cyclist (for all trip purposes) he tries to motivate others to make the modal shift as well. Workshop: (t)Active Routes #2 Oliver Froome-Lewis & Penélope Plaza Oliver Froome-Lewis engages the everyday in Endurance Walking, Mapping and Map-Making in London, he has created ‘propositional’ maps and events for Olympic Legacy in London’s East End, The London Design Museum, and The London Festival of Architecture. His research addresses mapping tactics that draw parallels between design research, experimental fiction and current practices in Fine Art.

Workshop: CITY HIJACK #8 Inés Ballesteros & Michela Dal Brollo In their research, Inés Ballesteros and Michela Dal Brollo create and demonstrate portable equipment as a set of transportable, practical and conceptual devices, which wename Living Equipment. They research howtogenerate temporary spaces that favour moreheterogeneous and diverse forms of urbanism, in contrast toa tendency towards privatisation and control in public space. They arenow focusing on exploring liminal places of the city of Antwerp. During 2020, Michela and Inés conducted theproject titled ‘Stone soup’ with the support of KunstenplatformPLANB, that evolved in their current research project “Living Equipment: Portable spaces” supported by theRoyal Academy of FineArts Antwerpand in collaboration with other institutions like WPZimmer. Michela and Inés are currently part of the organisation of Samenschool and part of the collective atelier Archipel.

This architectural office confronts systematically the subject of transforming the existing, adopting an approach of urban durability. Its members are actively engaged in teaching and research, activities considered as integral parts of their architectural production. Their identity oscillates between the smoothness of the free plan and the almost cold sincerity of the border.

The explorative and experimental working method of rotative studio is characterized by a continuous interplay of design, research and dialogue. The studio combines working on architectural commissions with self-initiated multidisciplinary projects, in which new and critical approaches towards architectural research and design are developed and expressed. rotative studio’s work has been exhibited at a.o. LFA (‘20), Architecture Week Barcelona (‘18) and New Generations Festival (‘20- ’21). They gained academic experience at the RavB (‘20), TU Delft (‘21), IDW Antwerp (‘20,’21) and i2a (‘20,’21).

Atelier Aline Veelaert is a furniture atelier which balances between restorations and design from an interest for detail and crafts with a background in architecture and wood restauration. The IDW workshop will be a continuation of a research called karkas where Willem and Aline teamed up to analyse production processes and their cut offs.
