Meet the Research Cell and ADO Restoring Broken Journeys!

The Research Cell and Academic Design Office (ADO) ‘Restoring Broken Journeys’ has as its central theme the re-establishment of a previous (social) right, practice, or situation, which was distorted while looking at the future as ‘Journeys’ pre-suppose a process of change and development. This research project investigates how journeys, narratives and lives are closely entangled within a lived environment and its spatial memory, which has an inseparable link with built community heritage.

The ADO ‘Restoring Broken Journeys’ is under the supervision of Prof. dr. Gisèle Gantois.
