With decking and containers, site enabling works created Civic Street Yard that would host public events, workshops, and public consultation. Meanwhile, the lower site has been established as a biodiverse meadow, featuring habitats for insects and composting area. Civic Street Public Consultations Civic Street is a surplus node in car-specific infrastructure of the city, and the proposal was put forward to reimaging the street for pedestrians and cyclists, connecting often disjointed infrastructural network. Materials explaining the site and proposal were published on civic-street.com and the public consultation events were curated and organised by Katie O’Grady https://matija.work/Civic-House Sun, 11 Sep 2022 18:35:25 +0000 matija https://matija.work/Civic-House Civic House Coworking Kitchen A simple kitchen was designed to be used by two or more people at the same time independently of each other.

Projected population movement for Antwerp 2000-2035 and projected temperature increase 1900-2100Such development is further stimulated by ongoing population increase, putting the current mode of producing built environment in Antwerp directly at odds with achieving goal of mitigating temperature increase.&nbsp; Urban sprawl is a repetitive spatial product, the scale of which cannot be addressed through a singular intervention. It also embodies ideological principles of private ownership, overconsumption, and atomised individualism. <img width="4500" height="4500" width_o="4500" height_o="4500" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/a6f58a1dd7fe7b63d553f0fe9536cab967ed8494bc7ade172a3718f2245532b0/06-Diagram.png" data-mid="152594634" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/a6f58a1dd7fe7b63d553f0fe9536cab967ed8494bc7ade172a3718f2245532b0/06-Diagram.png" /> <img width="1080" height="1080" width_o="1080" height_o="1080" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/7dc2e16f533c707d70f4786ee81a3d4a64634856781b1ab49762c140c4b1fb62/03-Repetition.gif" data-mid="152254787" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/7dc2e16f533c707d70f4786ee81a3d4a64634856781b1ab49762c140c4b1fb62/03-Repetition.gif" /> fig 04.-05 Repetitive spatial products/formulas In response to the contradiction between urban development and climate collapse, thesis explores an alternative to real estate development logic of the city.&nbsp; Assuming circumstances resulting from class struggle, not instead of it; proposal develops protocols of cooperation, replicable across the territoy, that would see new housing and commons built/made across property lines compacting the social and economic activity. (fig 06.); while gradually removing large portions of urban sprawl (fig 07.), creating new landscapes in and around the city. “Co-Op is an active form, governor orchestrating a (de)growth protocol and establishing a relationship between interdependent variable in the large urban calculus” (Keller Easterling, Subtractions) <img width="1440" height="1440" width_o="1440" height_o="1440" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/8497c9059c12dfe0f86719e84dc56e186ff9bcc2772b228d8256c0a7e9a7c738/Block-image-new-2.jpg" data-mid="152912816" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/8497c9059c12dfe0f86719e84dc56e186ff9bcc2772b228d8256c0a7e9a7c738/Block-image-new-2.jpg" /> fig 06. Current population movent due to local trends coupled with climate migrants is addressed through densification of city’s block With this new paradigm established, parts of the sprawl that can not be expected to be densified successfuly or sustained in their existing form, would be taken apart and used for materials. Abandoning inadequate urban fabric would have lower cost than maintaining its status quo. <img width="1080" height="1080" width_o="1080" height_o="1080" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/3e1f7cd0861ebebceea5b8d5f7c46e0f5991b74d56ff6d04b2f51040671c4a8c/05-Violence.gif" data-mid="152653560" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/3e1f7cd0861ebebceea5b8d5f7c46e0f5991b74d56ff6d04b2f51040671c4a8c/05-Violence.gif" /> fig 07. Portions of the sprawl are removed as techologically inadequate parts of urban infrastructure Both the processes of densification and subtraction are developed as argorithmical protocols and applied onto the scale of territory. , 500x500m grid applied over sprawl for analysis of urban proliferation; 842 primary blocks in inner city and peripheral neighbourhoods were examined for size, depth and orientation. Process of reversal would eventually see hard borded between the urban and its outside. <img width="1080" height="1080" width_o="1080" height_o="1080" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/2bb35ef5ec794c0f9ca346509e383e8307a1c1509fe6b603d0d39980badfaad3/07-Strategic-plan.jpg" data-mid="152594653" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/2bb35ef5ec794c0f9ca346509e383e8307a1c1509fe6b603d0d39980badfaad3/07-Strategic-plan.jpg" /> fig 08.
