Architectuur en Interieurarchitectuur gaan verder dan bouwen. Het gaat over het begrijpen van menselijke interactie, maatschappelijke uitdagingen en esthetische precisie.
Op zaterdag 25 april nodigen we je uit om onze faculteit van dichtbij te komen bekijken. Geen algemene praatjes, maar een diepe duik in het curriculum, een blik op kritische ontwerpprocessen en gesprekken met de studenten en docenten die onze campussen vormgeven.
Ben jij klaar om je kritisch denkvermogen en creativiteit in te zetten?

Wat zit er écht achter die strakke muren? 🧱🔍
Voordat de pleisterlaag erover gaat, is een bouwwerf een kluwen van communicatie. Collega Michiel De Cleene legde 31 'Workface Details' vast: vluchtige schetsen op beton, aantekeningen van aannemers en lijnen die alleen op dat moment betekenis hadden.
Kom kijken naar deze verborgen boodschappen van de werf!
📅 Opening: VANDAAG (20 april), 18.00u
📍 @begijnhof , Hasselt, Huisje 5-6
🖼️ Expo open op werkdag t.e.m. 30 april (12.00-16.00u)

The team of our postgraduate @wearebuildingbeyondborders are kick off their "Under Construction Building Festival" with a parade!
Join them next Sunday as they move from Hasselt to Houthalen with a travelling installation, slowly making thei way towards De Pastorie (Helchteren). Along the route, the street becomes a place to pause, engage, and meet whoever joins us.
This way the building festival begins not at the site, but through the neighbourhood. With us, we carry encounters from the neighbourhoods they pass, into the pastorie.
📍 Starting point: Gouverneur Verwilghensingel 5, Hasselt
🗓 April 5, 10 am
