 This comes from a very different perspective, so it's not a data-driven project, it's not research-based either. So it's a planning initiative that was instigated by the province and the local commune in order to develop a territory in a different way. And we came with a proposal to use circular approaches to de-block a planning problem they were having. So Audenard is a town along the Skelz River, which is just quite a bit south of Ghent. And for those who know Flanders, the territory, we have quite a dispersed settlement pattern. And this is an old vesting town, so it's an old defense town from the 18th, 19th century. And then, so there is a big park here, which is just around the Skelz River. So this of course comes from a very ancient territory, and within this system, which used to be a quite wet landscape where water could go around, we see that urbanization goes around it, but also we saw that there's a development of industry, a brick factory, clay excavation, large-scale tissue and textile production, sports facilities and so on and so on. And now there's a big challenge about the city wanting to develop more urban residential districts, because that's what makes money. The industry, somehow in between both, the regional economical players that are very, very much focusing on water-related industrial activities, but there's also huge landscape, water flood control and mobility challenge in this territory. And so for years they were literally fighting and not talking, and so the initiative by the province to develop another strategy. Now the space is quite interesting. Some parts are very, very beautiful. This is an old branch of the Skelz that's now part of a small-scale bio-nature hub. It somehow needs an entry gate, I'm not sure why, but also the stone factory is kind of also eating up the landscape, not just by the excavation, but also by using their debris material for building up the landscape and completely destroying the water system as it works in terms of irrigation and water captivation. So there is really another care that needs to be taken for this landscape. The city itself is not giving the best examples either. They're building sports facilities that look like prisons. And eventually the industry, the way it's been built into this landscape is quite also a challenge. Yes, they're very functional, mono-oriented boxes in the landscape, and then there is this idea of a high-end residential park on the river edge in an industrial-zoned area. So within this, so there's four major parts. So there's a Norton part, which is a former old cardboard factory. There's a big part, which is still for clay excavation for the brick factory. There is the main brick factory, an empty industrial terrain. There's also a sewage plant. There is a material recycling park, and then there in the south there is the major sports facility. And in order to tackle this big challenge between the different agencies about how will we ever decide whether this terrain can develop into either a natural park and keep the industry that's there or to go for this residential development, we propose to use a circular strategy to start thinking about how different programs could be interrelated and need each other. And so of course in a very naive way we start to talk about some of the food production that we do see in the area because this is still quite good on the economy of agriculture, this terrain, this area. And there's also a very small initiative of local food production, aquaponics. So slight advances towards circular ideas about food production. Same thing about water, trying to understand that it's also about using this landscape as a water system in terms of re-use the water, buffering the water, filtering the water, and maybe reintroduce it into the consumption of the city. Try to do a similar question about the materials of the flows, being the fact that there is this recycling hub already in the terrain. And eventually also because of the heat production of the brick factory, they are reusing some of the excess heat, but not all of it. And so there's also opportunities there. And so this was presented in large stakeholder workshops, info markets with local inhabitants, and just to understand the scale of it. So there is the excavation on this side is almost complete in terms of the licenses they have, but they do have a whole terrain on the north side and the west side that they can still excavate for clay. So there is going to be clay excavation and landscape transformation for the next 20 to 50 years. So it's important to understand that this is an economy that might stay there for a long time. And so our approach is, yes, we need to talk about more space for water. We understand that it's an integrated spatial challenge in terms of climate change as well. There was a huge question about this alternative mobility, and then also helping them to make more circular choices as we framed it. Excuse me. This comes, of course, in the old system of this valley. It's quite clear that the city and the water landscape is a system that allows for seasonal flooding, that allows for water captivation, buffering. And it's a quite circular operation, one could say. But then over time, of course, the big problem is this built up of the impermeable surfaces, also the rather infrastructural approach to the river, which is seen as a water highway. And that our goal is to restore some of these notions and put them in a more systemic idea in which you can see the park that's been related, but also understanding that some of these parts can still be part of a development. Very basic stuff, but quite important for these people. And this has to do with the Flanders territory, or let's say the Belgian territory. Being at boats, we get the best of boats, so we get very dry summers and very wet winters. So in terms of the climate change, this needs to be addressed. We have to kind of bridge the peak, the gap, and replenish aquifers and so on and so on. And so in our approach, we have, of course, we need to work on the landscape as a system. We do have to address the water system as a whole. And then there's some improvement in terms of mobility, soft mobility, industrial logistics and so on and so on. And then we can talk about programming in kind of a circular development approach. So this led to kind of an overview plan in which we really try to address all of their challenges and desires. I'm not going to spend time to explain the spatial quality of it. You can trust us, it's a good plan. But in terms of, so what we're talking about, for example, to start looking at some of the repair of the protected landscape, which still has some agricultural function, but more like as meadows and graze lands, but to put like a water system of drainage and ditches back into that. But also understanding that the drainage of the city sewage system can also be put into more of a landscape integrated sewage treatment plan. That's not just a physical technical facility. And that also the excavation landscape can be part of a control system of buffering before it gets into the river. And this goes with an approach in which you go from all the scales. So there is, yes there is mitigation needed in terms of the individual unit and we have to address how to first reuse and capture our water on the individual scale. But of course it goes up into permeability, reusing of the water, thinking about other drainage systems in infrastructural design. And so it goes on to a larger scale in which we talk about the quality of the park as really being a buffer system and eventually even talking about how it can be a water cleaning machine with filtration and a filtering system. Same thing about the landscape, yes there is a landscape repair needed. Excuse me. So this has to do with the restoring of small landscape elements, but also understanding where the matrix of green and spaces needs to be kept in order to place these systems in there. This also goes into understanding that the landscape of this scaled water territory has its own characteristics. This is a landscape design 101. But also we need to talk about how we frame this park in order to understand that the development doesn't keep growing. It's not seen as empty terrain ready for the next phase of city expansion. But that actually becomes something that we desire, use. Talking about exchangeable building rights or transfer of development rights. I think it's in English and so on and so on. But then also looking at how some of these excavations can actually be used to build more or better quality landscape. So that the way we excavate, if you work on the economic and the technical stuff, you can establish better transitions, for example. On the mobility level, there is a whole transition about understanding that if we ever want to go to a better mobility behavior, we do need to design our cities less as traffic systems for highways. And so there is this major connection that goes through some of these towns that we're talking about different strategies and phasing of how ambitious you could be. And that allows us also for a transition of the mobility system on the physical scale, reusing some of the existing infrastructure but for different modes. So it's not always redesigning everything, it's also reusing existing infrastructure. And this also goes into a system of going through all the scales again, looking at very small scale individual interventions of how we introduce the user and the behavior on the smaller scale. Looking at how to rethink the infrastructure that they do have and what we can organize on the municipal level, such as other kind of car sharing examples. And eventually also to see this much more as a combination of recreational spaces, looking at the programming of such an element and to really develop this idea of bicycle culture in this territory, because this is also where the Tour de Flandre, one of our major bicycle events, arrives. And so that's a very important part of their culture. But what is more important, I think, is that we help them to start building up an idea about how can you look at circular development and circular programming to create dependencies between very different actors. So the first thing we did is also to map all of the initiatives in this territory that are known to us to look at people that are already doing this. Some of them are on food production, some of them are on reusing of materials. So these are quite a lot of actors in this territory, so there is already that happening. And we understood that from these workshops and the inventory made that a big part has to do with the rethinking of the flows of energy and heat. Another one has to do with the look at material and how the production of different actors can be seen as a material flow improvement. And then eventually there's also this idea of process and knowledge sharing, which you can also put into more featured locations. And then in all of these sections we were looking at which are the actors that you can connect, how can you connect certain flows of materials, and then also how energy and heat demands can be connected. Maybe we can talk a little bit more in detail here. So yeah, maybe this. So for example we know that there is a new water purification station to be built in which we can then start talking about Rio Termi, switch heat recuperation. There is some of the second degree heat access from the stone factory. So if we took all of that we combine it with for example the municipal swimming facility, some of the outdoor facilities, some of the new developments. You could start setting up a small scale heat exchange network based on the desire for certain people to look at the improvement. This is not calculated, so it's really the beginning of a potential business case. But it is a way of understanding that if you are talking about new economies to come, maybe the reason to accept them is not because there is a good water access, but the reason is that they can play a role in how to set up a business case that's viable for a heat and energy exchange. Same thing we tried to do to look at some of the, let's say biomass flows. There is an old, well there's an existing brewery. It's kind of a micro brewery of Liefmann's beers. And they already have a connection with a bakery that uses the debris of the brewing processes for bread production. And actually the inverse also is that some of the bread is actually also used in the growing procedures. Some of it is also used for breeding mushrooms, growing mushrooms in some of the basements. So if you take this and actually also locate it on the site in a more clear way, this becomes really something that's produced within the park and that it's something to really share also as something that you can market even. And then this is linked to an initiative they do have of a social restaurant in the territory. And that then could be linked to the hortic and the catering that they do have on all the sports facilities. There's about seven sport organizations in this sport park. They all have their own cafeteria, their own bar and their own catering service. So trying to link what is produced in the park to what is being consumed. There's a small co-producing of food by the local community on one of the heritage sites. And so we go and then start talking about how this can be upscaled also in terms of landscape maintenance by some of the organizations. And then we put the next hypothesis is about this flow of materials where the container park and the reselling of the Kringwinkel they have in the city, which is slightly further away. There's also initiative of repair cafe. So we're trying to look at how this can be more seen as a flow that's continuous. And this is quite good because it is actually something that through this participatory process of the different design sessions, the info markets, the communication we've been having, this is being picked up by the local communes. And of course we have this understanding that you could take it much further if you want to talk about the building construction material library. Audenard is quite a good place for that because it is a regional city dealing with a large-scale hinterland. And so again, we try to talk about yes, there is questions about the exchange of energy, materials and food production to look at how some of the reuse of the materials is there to understand that there's also quite a lot of knowledge and processes of small communities that we need to grant and cater for. So this also has to do with shared infrastructure. I think the example that we just saw had this idea that there's also physical spaces needed to support such an exchange of knowledge is quite important. And then we also developed this is more the spatial quality of certain things and so how some of the excavation landscape can then also start dealing with some of the more important soft infrastructures. How the brewery can be also seen as a hub for many of these approaches, being both an event location, being a small-scale production, also being the starting point for some of these circular approaches and then also the former sluice complex where there is a development question by the harbour, the Vlamsevaterweg, which we try to reduce and explain that this is not the location to do so. And so this was all put together into a large-scale master plan. Well, it's maybe more of a framework. It's not yet the master plan. This was done in 2018. Over the last year they're in the process of making the spatial zoning plan. This is a very delicate moment because as soon as it goes back to the legislative part we're potentially losing the qualities of understanding the circular need of establishing relationship between some of the players. There is studies for all of these wide spots. They're just not allowed to be shown yet, so I'm so sorry for that. And what we also spoke about is that we do need to talk about certain concrete ideas and how to... So first of all we need to understand that if we develop in this area there's always this desire for establishing added value. So if the program that we want doesn't create a circular added value then it's not the one we want. Second, we need to understand that brick factory and excavation should much more be addressed as a landscape builder rather than the right to excavate. So there's another culture that needs to be established there. Yes, there is an idea of understanding that we need a shared visual identity also for this park because it's built by so many different people. That heritage site that they do have for which there's a difficulty of reprogramming it and being relevant in this territory by the province that may be understanding that the circular approach can be some of their agendas. There is a mobility question that needs to be addressed from freight towards bicycle culture and that in order to establish a circular culture because that's what we want and what we need we need to start talking about learning trajectories and who is taking charge and that's where different kind of organizations come in. There was an idea of developing more of a celebration an event style Belgium is quite famous for its festivals so try to maybe use also this park as it is as found as a temporary use and then there is some small interventions that deal much more about the infrastructure and the landscape. So these are very specific things we proposed that we could do already while waiting for these long planning processes to take place. Voila, that's where we are. Thank you.
