Abstract
Inspired by the concept of Heterotopia – a concept first coined by Michel Foucault in 1966, describing ‘other spaces’ – the aim of this project was to question the way metropolitan cities currently deal with ‘The Other’. That is, the human and non-human other. Like its previous function as a marshalling yard, can this year’s Urban Architecture Graduation Studio project site, ‘La Friche Josaphat’ in Brussels, be a place of rearranging? Rearranging the way a city deals with reception of newcomers, as well as the way a city deals with its green spaces.
