INGE VINCK
Friant, about this and that and so on
An existing house; a ‘modern’ building. A façade like a grid of windows. Excessively large windows and numerous construction nodes. Isolation as a box within a box is impossible. The opposite solution; a house within a house. A new façade behind the existing one to resolve the construction knots and create distance or space facing the street.
Inge Vinck is a Belgian architect based in Ghent; co-founder of architecten jan de vylder inge vinck. / inge vinck jan de vylder architecten (A JDVIV / IVJDV A- 2019). Currently Inge Vinck is professor at the Baukunstklasse of the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf and member of the board of 019 Gent/Smoke and Dust vzw.
architecten jan de vylder inge vinck/ inge vinck jan de vylder architecten (AJDVIV/IVJDVA) is today a multidisciplinary practice in which the making and the thinking is deeply imbedded. Many ongoing projects - drawing table and under construction - are alternating with all kind of reflections- drawings and writings -. New horizons are explored - international and research wise -. Profound positions are taken - the interest in drawing but also in debating the essence of urge today -.
AJDVIV/IVJDVA is an architecture practice rich by many different previous trajectories. Inge Vinck was cofounder of jan de vylder architecten (JDV A – 2007/2010) and architecten de vylder vinck taillieu (A DVVT – 2010/2019)
The baselines UNIVERSUM CARROUSEL JOURNEY as also FORM LIFE URGE do give image to that. Experimental projects like THAT IS DOES NOT LOOKS GOOD MAKES THAT IT LOOKES GOOD as movements from DOITYOURSELF to DO-IT-TOGETHER give back-ground to projects like house ROT-ELLEN-BERG, as the free space for psychiatric clinic CARITAS, to the proposal of strategy for the PALAIS DES EXPOS. And so much more. The practice architecten jan de vylder inge vinck/ inge vinck jan de vylder architecten (also AJDVIV/IVJDVA ) managed by Inge and Jan is guiding the exploration and reflection in the teaching, the book-making, the drawing kabinet, and so on; many of their projects are a result of this wide UNIVERSUM and JOURNEY and give form to this CARROUSEL of interests.
This lecture is part of the school lecture series
HOUSING VOL.2 - Housing and Reuse
Reuse of existing buildings is increasingly becoming a good practice. Yet, reuse is easier said than done. Within a capitalist society, buildings are produced as commodities and, as such, they are not meant to last. Moreover, what is at stake within reuse is not simply the reuse of buildings per se, but the whole process of building production behind each architectural project.
This lecture series explores projects of reuse in which former offices, factories, or houses are transformed or expanded as residential spaces. Each lecture will focus on one building in order to shed light not only on the advantages of reuse but also on its limits and challenges. The lecture series will be complemented by the launch of Professor Charlotte Malterre-Barthes’s A "Moratorium on New Construction".
