Fieldwork in Antwerp

The students have been spending 4 days in Antwerp attending lectures and biking around the Green Single. The single is a challenging area, and in order to understand the single as a whole, the students are now divided into 6 groups. Each group will be looking at one strategic site along the single. Each group will also be mapping one theme troughout the entire single. The strategic areas are identified as : New South (Nieuw Zuid), Mastvest, Berchem Station, Rivierenhof Park, Albert Kanaal/Lobroekdok/Park Spoor Noord, and finally the docklands in the north. The themes the students are mapping for the entire singel is : location of cobble stones and green, parking, water, identify ruptures and mobility, map out the neighbouring buildings front/back relationship to the single and topography and drawing up 13 sections where the bridges are today.
