Synopsis
Solutions for our out-of-control urge to build

This publication provides a critical view of the architect's role in spatial planning, advocating for increasing the redevelopment of built-over or underutilized built spaces.

Why do we build more than we need? While open spaces are becoming more and more scarce, we continue to overlook the possibilities of what has already been built. With this publication, RE-ST puts the unnecessary growth of our building stock on the agenda.
Wander space is either built-over or undeveloped space that we have produced together, but underuse on a daily basis. It is space that exists everywhere and nowhere at different levels. Nobody knows exactly how much wander space there is. Detecting, mapping and activating occasional space is a task and an opportunity for the architect. Not to 'cram houses’ into it, but to work on the redevelopment of what already exists and only build when there is no other option.
Textual contributions are by Tine Hens, Roel de Ridder and Leo Van Broeck.

Waarom bouwen we meer dan we nodig hebben? Terwijl onze open ruimte schaarser wordt, hebben we nauwelijks oog voor de mogelijkheden van wat er al gebouwd is. Met deze publicatie zet architectuur- en onderzoekspraktijk RE-ST de nodeloze groei van het gebouwde bestand op de agenda.
Zwerfruimte is gebouwde en onbebouwde ruimte die we samen hebben geproduceerd maar dagelijks onderbenutten. Het is ruimte die op verschillende schalen overal en nergens aanwezig is. Niemand weet hoeveel zwerfruimte er precies is. In het detecteren, in kaart brengen en activeren van zwerfruimte ligt zowel een taak als een kans besloten voor de architect. Niet in ‘huisjes morsen’, maar in ontwerpen aan de herbestemming van wat er is en pas bouwen als het echt niet anders kan.
Tekstuele bijdragen van Tine Hens, Roel de Ridder en Leo Van Broeck.
