Missie
As architects we are essentially dealing with material culture
and feel the need to activate and invigorate the often intangible
and ineffable elements of local traditions, rather than collecting,
inventorying and exhibiting buildings and objects in an aim
to safeguard the memory of traditional and sustainable ways.
We therefore believe that it is precisely the continuity of a living
tradition that identifies people and creates a sense of belonging.
Wild studies aims to safeguard and reactivate ancestral
knowledge and wisdom as a generator of meaning in
a globalised, but superdiverse world. Creating physical
spaces in remote rural area’s momentarily under stress
is our core activity.
Historiek
Wild Studies is a research & design group founded by four members of the design, construction and research departments of the Faculty of Architecture of the Catholic University of Leuven (KUL). It builds on three main pillars: research, practise and education, which continuously infuse one another. All our projects are embedded in several on going educational case studies, in collaboration with international master students from the department of Interior Architecture and Architecture.
We have currently research & building projects in Nepal and Congo and started a project in Namibie, Upper Egypt and Greenland. For each project we collaborate with alumni of KU Leuven, Faculty of Architecture to do the follow-up, and with local informants, craftspeople and architects.
