Get your knowledge from under the dust, open those books again and prepare yourself!
Here comes the second Archipel Architecture quiz.
Standing still. Stop for a moment. Taking time, looking at things for a long time, observing, breathing in, discovering, reflecting. 36 hours in slowness. Archipel brings slowness in Japan within the 36-hour SLOW event in the Concertgebouw in Bruges.
After the successful journeys ‘Wild West’ and ‘Far East’ in Flanders in May and November 2017, Archipel continues the quest for high-quality architecture in 2019 in the Walloon provinces of Belgium. Between the Hainaut remnants of mining waste hills and of waffling politics, we discover surprising projects in Mouscron, Tournai, Hornu, Mons and La Louvière.
Take this opportunity to get to know Japanese architecture, art and culture in a backpack-wise manner with other architecture enthusiasts. This original, chronological route starts in the ancient city of Kyoto, takes you along the artificial islands on the way to the metropolis of Tokyo.
