EEAB - ECOLE D'ETÉ D'ARCHITECTURE DE BELGIQUE 2023
 
—DAY II ~ Warming up!—
 
 
 Nice to see you again, friends! Let's see what's new on this second day of Summer School, first real day of lesson. No time to waste!
 
 
Welcome to Château Mariahove, the wonderful mansion in Bellem. Open the gates, let inspiration flow in!
 
 
In the morning, talks with Noè Morin, our Vice President, hosting the master carpenter Dirk Mortier.
Dirk is a very skilled craftsman: he drew our attention on the way how the buildings are built, and why.

His work might also draw your attention, therefore here is his Instagram page and website. His work is really magical!
 
Here you'll find a fragment of the talk:
 
 
 
...and after a refreshing lunchbreak, everyone at the drawing table! This warm-up session consists of drawing a bit en plein air in the estate —thank you Jupiter god of thunder— and a °creative copying° of a historical map, in order to acquire familiarity with the urban and typological context.
As a desired side effect of this, the brain-hand connection is activated, manuality and observational skills are awaken and we start merging the learning process of both mind and body through small format, easily manageable drawings.
 
Here, we can see a surprisingly good concentration level already!
 
 
...and that's all for today
Tomorrow, Tuesday, the students will receive the fundamental notions for architectural drawing.
Nadia will be their mentor, and I'm sure she'll take care of them as the ancient Maecenas with his artists!
