NU architectuuratelier - Pluralism

NU architectuuratelier is the working platform for intense architecture and design research, led by Armand Eeckels and Halewijn Lievens. NU has the ambition to develop spatial, material and landscape interventions in strong interaction with the clients. NU aims at contributing in a qualitative way to our social, spatial and mental environment. With a large variety of realised and valued projects, the profound approach to architecture has resulted in a series of unique projects. NU strives for tactile, essential architecture by combining large and small scale projects, thus upgrading functional expectations to inspiration. The focus of the lecture in Prague is on pluralistic approach, hence the title : Pluralism

The nature of madness has been a topic for discussion since ancient times. However, mental illness is related to modern times and connected with institucionalisation of psychiatry. According to Michel Foucault it was the need of the burgeoisie to do away with troublesome individuals in the 18th century that led to the foundation of special institutions for the so-called mentally ill. Within the framework of those „cells for the unwanted“ psychiatry became a scientific discipline.
