Gallery Magazine N°1 - Jan De Vylder & Inge Vinck

This is the first issue of Gallery Magazine with invited guests Jan De Vylder & Inge Vinck.

The magazine is conceived as an alternative medium of expression for the invited architect or practice ˗one per issue˗ to experiment with: it is not a representation of built work nor a textual description, yet an autonomous project. For this reason, selected guests are asked to develop specific, original content with the aim of clarifying their vision in a form that we hope would interest a wider audience and provide those already interested with unexpected insights.

In Issue N°1 Jan De Vylder & Inge Vinck presents a series of Excel drawings.

Back from Japan - Schenk Hattori. Translations

Exhibition

thu 26 mar - sun 14 jun 2020

Steven Schenk (Schenk Hattori architects) participates to the exhibition "Back from Japan" at De Singel in Antwerp.
As part of the theme ‘Back from Japan’, the VAi is showcasing the work of two young architectural firms who work out of Belgium and Japan.
Schenk Hattori works out of Antwerp and Tokyo. Their exhibition ‘Translations’ seeks out the boundaries of our imagination. It takes you on a quest for the mysterious and frequently lost elements in architecture. Schenk Hattori asks himself how the prehistoric hut can be understood in our contemporary age as a microcosm for containing the world around us. The age-old process in which humans tried to make the world usable and above all, tangible, was the earliest form of architecture.

Back from Japan - Sugiberry. Meaning - Exhibition

Exhibition

thu 26 mar - sun 14 jun 2020

Johannes Berry (Sujiberry architects) participates to the exhibition "Back from Japan" at De Singel in Antwerp. As part of the theme ‘Back from Japan’, the VAi is showcasing the work of two young architectural firms who work out of Belgium and Japan. In the exhibition ‘Meaning’, SUGIBERRY searches for the architectural relationship between Japan and Flanders, by placing its own work alongside that of others. The bureau shows how an idea that adapts to a changing context – here the cultural exchange between Flanders and Japan – leads to new connections and layers of meaning. In SUGIBERRY’s design practice, everything is related to the human and the dialogue with the built environment. When a tree in a forest falls down and there is no one to hear it, does it then make a sound? According to SUGIBERRY, it does not.
