6 7 #2 L.G.P. Luchtbal Gentrification Project By Bert Danckaert Central to this intensive workshop is the fictional urban development agency LUCHTBAL GENTRIFI- CATION PROJECT (L.G.P.) . This office was set up with the aim of making Luchtbal the most prestigious housing project in order to put a definitive end to the deprivation in the neighbourhood. The utopian social philosophy of this unique modernist district will be brought up to date with the reality and needs of the 21st century. (Irony and staging are the starting point of this project) Output of the workshop is a website with the gen- eral L.G.P.-plan by means of design sketches, photos, promotional information... The participants of the workshop present them- selves as ‘real’ project developers with the aim of transforming the Luchtbal into an exclusive gentrifi- cation project. Urban renewal with an up-to-date view on ecology, mobility, safety... is central. The aim of the workshop is to raise political awareness among the participants and to critically approach ethical issues of society (through magnifi- cation). The workshop aims to analyse and ironically interpret perceptions of urban development and gentrification. Candidates have skills or interest in one or more of the following topics - Architectural and urban design sketches - History of social housing and utopian projects from the 50-60s (e.g. Brasilia) - Designing a monument - Webdesign of the fictional urban development agency - Making (fictitious) video interviews - Photography - Performance, irony #3 Meisjesstemmen — towards a female-inclusive Public Space By Annelies Vaneycken How can the public space of the Luchtbal neighbour- hood become more enjoyable for local teenage girls? How can design activate their currently absent voices on this matter? These are the main questions driv- ing the workshop Meisjesstemmen (Flemish for Girls’ voices) . In this workshop, we will work on these questions by conducting ethnographic fieldwork with a group of teenage girls from the Luchtbal neighbourhood in Ant- werp. The design aspect of the workshop is twofold. Firstly, we will carefully craft subjective narratives that represent the teenage girls their perceptions, ideas, opinions, doubts, and questions regarding their presence in their local public space. Secondly, we will work on the activation of those subjective narratives by exploring and performing different ways of individu- al and collective oral speech in public space. The Meisjesstemmen workshop is oriented to- wards students who have an interest in dealing with socio-political matters in design, freedom of speech, human rights, ethnographic fieldwork, mapping, writ- ing, walking, creating design interventions in public space, and experimenting with different forms of oral speech (and minimal forms of performance). https://www.bert-danckaert.be https://the-institute-of-doubt.org This workshop is conceived and facil- itated by Annelies Vaneycken (www. anneliesvaneycken.be) and happens in cooperation with JES.
