Dissecting the Building Elective – subtheme: Solidary Mobile Housing

Co-organisation and tutoring of a Community-engaged Architectural Design Learning elective course at the KU Leuven Faculty of Architecture (in collaboration with Prof. dr. Burak Pak and Ken De Cooman) during the co-design phase of the Solidary Mobile Housing (SMH) co-creation process.

During this course, the four involved students met weekly with each other and the course tutors (Ken De Cooman and drs. Aurelie De Smet) and/or the SMH project promotors from the Faculty of Architecture (prof. Burak Pak and Prof. Yves Schoonjans) to work out the technical and construction details of the SMH Architectural Design.
Moreoveer, once a month, the proposed solutions were presented to and discussed with the other project partners, including the future inhabitants, during collective evaluation and feedback sessions. Moreover, at the end of this course, a one-day public event was organized to receive input on the co-developed ideas from the SMH Advisory Board members and other external stakeholders.
