Documentary about the belgian painter Roger Raveel (1921-2013) as part of his centennial celebration.

Following five teams of designers investigating the future of water, energy, housing, mobility, agriculture, and care, the film explores how design research can help imagine and debate the future of the Netherlands.

Land scarcity, housing shortages and climate change are forcing urban planners in Flanders to rethink the freestanding house with its garden as the predominant suburban housing typology. How can existing suburban neighbourhoods densify without sacrificing the qualities that their residents value the most?

The new ‘Green Ark’ at Meise Botanic Garden is designed to protect endangered plant species in the face of a global biodiversity crisis. Following the construction of this carefully controlled environment, ARK draws parallels between the processes of construction and conservation, and urges architecture to assume an active role in protecting biodiversity.
