The OPEN WORKROOMS SPONGE LANDSCAPES will be the second in a series of ‘open workrooms’ around the social transformations to which AWB is committed in 2023-2026: energy districts, sponge landscapes, and societal infrastructure. During an Open Workroom, we literally open the doors of our workplace with a small exhibition linked to a program of lectures, workshops and debates around a specific topic, bringing together experts, stakeholders and pioneers from various disciplines. In doing so, we create a space to pool knowledge and set up breakthroughs together. For the upcoming edition on sponge landscapes, we collaborate with the Open Ruimte Platform, The Global Commission on the Economics of Water (GCEW), the International Water Management Institute (IWMI),  and UHasselt’s REWORLDING doctoral network, with the support of Flanders’ Culture Department.
