We took these tangible links – between original and derivative parts, first and second editions, initial designs and reconfigurations – as the central feature of the new platform.

During a workshop hosted by OpenStructures, we sketched how the design concept by Lionel Jadot could be complemented with local found footage by Rikkert Paul and OpenStructures compatible elements by OS_Studio <http://p.smoton.com/f2rqqkw7-8c19xog7-bsl4shpi-7km>.

Workshop: Reclaim the suburbs © Oswald Devisch CAPA.CITY experimental autumn school 14 - 17 Oct. Turnhout (Be) OpenStructures is applied as a hands-on tool in an academic research project on retrofitting suburban areas by the architecture department of Hasselt University. >From 14 - 17 October, we will rethink suburbia by prototyping and building various proposals for retrofitting. All of this this will be supported by lectures on participatory design, collective learning and capacity building. The CAPA.CITY project is a collaboration between both academic and non-academic partners and carried out in 6 different residential subdivisions in Belgium, Denmark and France.

Rue Fritz Toussaint straat 8, 1050 Brussels (open on appointment only) Collection: Design museum Ghent © OpenStructures Everything gets re-cycled ! Parallel with the launch of the new platform Design Museum Gent has acquired the previous and first OS website for its collection. Design Museum Gent <http://p.smoton.com/f2rqqkw7-8c19xog7-8dbmzohy-j36> reasons that the website is the digital manifestation of an early and valuable project of social, eco- and DIY-design and that design manifests itself more and more digitally and in the form of processes rather than in shapes only. While the collection represents the history of Belgian design, the website will be its first digital, intangible collection piece and will continue to tell the story of the first phase of the OpenStructures project. It will be presented later this year as part of the museum’s ‘Object Stories’ <http://p.smoton.com/f2rqqkw7-8c19xog7-djqotl46-xxa> exhibition series. Product: Pyloon shelving system © Atelier Ternier OS compatible shelving system by Atelier Ternier Atelier Ternier <http://p.smoton.com/f2rqqkw7-8c19xog7-gx34d4o2-138a>’s shelving system ‘Pyloon’ assembles without tools nor screws. Panels are pushed horizontally over aluminium tubes and held on distance by vertical plates and pegs. Together they obtain optimal stability. The tubes are at the same time feet, hinge and handle and are compatible with loads of other OpenStructures parts. The Pyloon family will be on display at the Contemporary Design Market in Brussels on 28-29 September and from October later this year at our Studio in Brussels.
