In 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗖𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗮𝘀 𝗮 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗴𝘆, on Sunday June 14, poses a fundamental question: how do we shape the city - and who has the right to do so? The work consists of a monumental table on which clay is offered to participants, children, and families - as a material to shape their vision of the city. Here, the city is not merely discussed, but literally shaped, molded, adapted, and reinvented. Here, we can collectively reimagine the city as a dynamic space of memory and imagination.
Architectural models—so-called strategy tables—often function as instruments of planning and control, through which visions of the city’s future are presented and directed from above. Jonas Vansteenkiste breaks with this model by approaching the city not as a fixed plan but as an open, collective, and constantly changing process.
