Abstract
The project is situated in the Sphinxkwartier in Maastricht, positioned in-between
the inner city and the urban hinterlands. Underneath the fast pace of the city and factory, nature moves slowly, cascading down from the lock at the Maas river towards the fortification park, ever growing through the cracks.This project for an open air school on the old factory terrain, attempts to move away from the broad
concept of sustainability, towards a grounded and personal view on what it means to coexist with nature in the city.
