Overview
Participants in this summer school will embark on an inspiring, hands-on journey at the intersection of ecology and artistic design. Through this programme, you’ll delve into transformative themes such as integrating nature into urban spaces, creating climate-resilient cities, and discovering your unique illustration style—whether digital or analog.
Gain insights from leading experts Bart Backaert and Nadina Galle, who will deliver thought-provoking lectures on ecological urban design and the role of nature in architecture. The lectures are organised for a public audience. In addition, hands-on workshops, led by instructors from the University of Antwerp, will immerse participants in artistic illustration techniques such as inkwash, watercolor, and digital tools, blending traditional artistry with modern design.
By the end of the programme, you’ll not only refine your technical illustration skills but also develop a unique graphic style to create visually compelling designs rooted in ecological principles. This is your chance to transform climate-resilient ideas into art and contribute meaningfully to shaping sustainable cities of the future!
The programme is ideal for students and young professionals with a foundation in architectural or urban design who want to enhance their graphic and sustainable design skills
