Abstract

TRANS architectuur | stedenbouw is a Ghent (BE) based practice established in 2011 by Bram Aerts and Carolien Pasmans bringing together a group of talented and highly motivated architects and urban planners. In a short period of time, the office has built up a strong reputation at the forefront of a much-acclaimed generation of Flemish design practices. Bram Aerts and Carolien Pasmans are committed educators at the KU Leuven, the University of Antwerp and at the Rotterdamse Academie voor Bouwkunst. This publication describes the process and realisation of the Leietheater Deinze from 2012–2019. TRANS and V+ proposed an alternative site to the client during the competition phase. This move creates a large park that extends as far as the river De Leie. In addition, the theatre was placed on important sight axes and was thus made present in the city. The Museum van Deinze en de Leiestreek, which had drifted into the open space of the old Leiearm, is framed and is once again the cultural heart of Deinze.

Abstract

This book documents the most recent realizations of urban factory facilities in Flanders designed by the upcoming architecture studio TRANS. In Flanders three recently built factory facilities showcase the potential of bringing manufacturing back to the city. Nina Rappaport (Yale University) and Job Floris (Monadnock architects) put these projects designed by Ghent-based architects TRANS into context. Interviews with CEOs and policymakers give a 'behind the scenes' insight on the co-production of these pioneering projects and high-quality drawings and pictures show precise information on their construction. Exhibition: Traveling exhibition in Brussels, Rotterdam, London and Ghent (2018-2019).

Abstract

Now that urban industry is often clean, green, small, and quiet it can be integrated at the city and building scale with other uses. Although little explored as of yet, we don’t yet know what this new hybrid will look like and how can it support new entrepreneurs, equitable jobs, and vital urban forms? How can hybrid models change with new technologies, sustainable manufacturing, and advanced production systems to create new open city? Can we break the planning and land-use patterns of segregated zoning by class and function and encourage mixed-use zoning that transforms new building and zoning codes and this the mix in the city? These questions and more are addressed in Hybrid Factory / Hybrid City, through a collection of essays by participants in the eponymous symposium organized by Nina Rappaport at the Future Urban Legacy Lab of the Politecnico di Torino. Divided into two sections, the essays describes projects and research by architects and urbanists regarding the aura of industry and its smells, its place in relationship to the body, building structures, logistics centers, reused factory buildings, and their current and future potential for mixed-use. Social and economic equity can be integrated through light manufacturing jobs, community uses, and affordable housing. Considering how we can make 1+1 = 3, the book concludes with a roundtable discussion among the authors reflecting on urban production during COVID-19 and the new “16-minute” city.
