Abstract
Gathering: street scenes and urban clues explores the intersection of architecture, theatre, and everyday life at the Blikfabriek site and its surroundings in Antwerp. Using scenographic methods—script, set, and performance—it investigates how informal appropriations of public space can guide a circular, community-based transformation of post-industrial heritage. Through fieldwork, curated events, and staged encounters, the project gathers spatial, social, and material clues to develop a design approach rooted in process, participation, and reuse. Architecture becomes both a stage and a tool—engaged, adaptive, and grounded in the rhythms of collective urban life.
