The place of mankind 2
In and with nature

There is to-day an ecological crisis.
This crisis will not only change our way of building but also our way of using space our way of ‘being on earth’.
The spatial consequences of that are to be thought by the architect.

In this studio we will deal wit the all the richness of the field of architecture.
We will have to deal with “what about is architecture?“

The title of this studio is OIKOSLOGY
With Oikos as a word of the field of architecture.
Oikos is the place where the human being stay or remain (on earth).

So we will hold our attention for the logic of how the human being has to remain on earth
and how that stay has to be build.

This is an architecture studio.

And in this studio we think that
building the city, or working on landscapes
is in the field of architecture.

We are not thinking that architecture is made by ‘objects’ injected in city “planning“.

Building the city is architecture.
And so further in this studio, which is the last before your final work,
we’ll also consider as architect everything
from the smallest intervention,
to small buildings,
to bigger buildings
to public spaces,
to the space of the city,
to landscape
and even to ‘no mans land’.

3

The central preoccupation of this studio will be ‘the place of the ‘human’ being
Both, place and human being, not considered as ‘in and in front of’ nature but ‘in and with’ nature

In other words we agree with what is human but we disagree with humanism (or anthropocentrism).

The model that we’ll use for this is all the way of thinking exposed by Tsjalingii (finger and lob city)
and by Ian Mac Hargh. (‘Design with nature’ here in Library)

Bjoke Carron landscape architect and historian (TC) will make us understand and reflect about time structure and landscape

Erik Rombaut, biologist specialised in ecology of the build world and teacher you had last year,
will come to the studio for two or three synthetic scientific contributions
showing at new how this field of eco-logy, eco-nomy, sociology and politics (building the polis)
and showing us how they are intricated and what are their requirements .

I’m Marc Belderbos and my task will be to maintain the pressure of the question:
What has architecture, as architecture, to do with this new ecological requirements?.

We hope that you understand by this first introductive words that this studio asks all your maturity as architect and human beings
and that this studio will measure

This studio had big results in the last years great result (two times the ‘laureat’ on three years)

At the end of the studio we will have a full electronic document with all your works and probably we will bring it on line.

The red line
That you allmost not see,
Is 20km thick.
It has the dimension of the layer
of all the life which is known in the universe ……..This layer, the biosfeer, is 150 miljard km3
It is also the most important layer and by our use of petrol for example (88 million
of ‘the climate’ barils a day) we fill it with 35 billion Kg CO2/day

That’s to say that each biotope small , fragile and
vulnerable.
10 km above us and 10m under us is there allmost no life
anymore

To build in Sledderlo is to build in a sort of chain

In the next part we’ll see that
scientific knowledge,
as useful and as necessary as it is,
is never enough.
It builds up a scientific truth
which is not the truth by which we live.
It has to be mixed with other truths
which are the fact of very disciplined thoughts
synthetic enough to give us real embodied convictions

We’ll see that science can help us a lot to know
where the human being has to be in the future.
But for an essential part of the very structure of the place of the man,
each form and each figure -till in the details!-
have signification which are not scientific.

This is then an architectural question.
And architecture is a discipline and not a science.

Let’s see how on the base of the scientific contribution we, as architect,
have to bring our contribution.

Beware:
Culture isn’t
“the finest parts”
Of what mankind is doeing.

Culture includes
a
all (even unlikely)
A-biotic events
and behaviors
That the human being
‘cutivates’
and in which he trusts
Animals and plants
don’t have culture

So culture is
To wear pull-overs..
To eat with forks...
Biotic To mow grass...
To sit on chairs…
To produce waste….
To consume
Culture ...
To live in cities
Or not.
To live in allotments
.....
To consider that that
the human being is central...

This is the culture
which interfers
with the biotic world
and with the abiotic world.

Culture

To affect one part can affect the other parts....

Culture is not only ‘in’ nature and at distance face to face with it. 39
Culture has to be considered as ‘in and with’ nature

42

The answer to this question
-What has architecture , -as architecture-, to do with ecology…?

differs from place to place.
The answer will be different.

in an architecture school
or
for industrial engineers.
or
for developers
or
for politicians or urban officials
or even
for an urban design school.

And so also the answer can be different
for a scientist in ecology or an architect.
because a scientist will verify
how the buildings are build and how the areas are located
But we, architects, are looking how the places and the spaces are build.

Therefor the main theme of this studio is
The place of mankind in the future
43

Also very important is that
the answer to this question
-What has architecture , as architecture, to do with ecology…? –
in an architecture school,

differs following
the views on architecture…..

Architecture Architecture
is establish
the correct, savant of in the real
and magnificent A disposition of matters
game Called ‘space’
of the volumes For the well-being
assembled Of the ones who are there
under the light.

CHARLES L’ÉPLATTENIER
resumed
by Corbusier

3 For most people without culture architecture is mainly considered as
a sort of planning or ‘ distribution of functions’ + aestheticizing
beauty.
This view is not considered here. 45

Following the first view
Architecture
is
the correct, savant
and magnificent
game
of the volumes
assemblied
under the light.

is ‘architecture’ a game of forms in culture,
or: architecture is ‘a part of’ culture,
Or: 'architecture' something in ‘nature’ to look at
and in confrontation with it.
(it is the case of our allotments building)
Following this view, architecture is just something added to
technical , scientifical, political, economical, sociological
solutions and beauty is something aestheticizing .
In that case ‘ecology’ would just pronounce
some new requirements for the city-, landplanning and architecture world. 46

Following the second view
Architecture
establish
in the real
A disposition of matters
Called ‘space’
For the well-being
Of the ones who are there.

Which can be read:

Architecture
Establish
In the real
The place of mankind.

Is architecture ‘first’. (a thing without place doesn’t exist)
Is architecture the first cultural fact.
(therefor not good of bad.... or beter ...or more important or before all the rest.....)

Architectuur is 'arke' and 'tekton': first structure.
Architecture is 'oikos' and means the first structured dwelling place.

47

Following the second view

Architecture
establish
in the real
A disposition of matters
Called ‘space’
For the well-being
Of the ones who are there.

Is ‘architecture’ the first cultural fact
Which is making space of emptyness.
‘Space’ as emptyness connotated by a law culturaly formulated
Space as OIKOS:
Who is organizing ‘first’ or as ‘arke’ space and time.

Following this view, architecture is not something added to
Technical or scientifical…. ...solutions…
and ‘beauty’ is the eradiation of a rich logic with the maturity of a law, of the place.

In that case we have to answer to the question:
’Where is architecture?' en ’Where has the human being to stay?’….....
And where are they not or less ...
This view over architecture is bound to an Ethic. 48

WHERE IS ARCHITECTURE in the authority of the second point of view?

A

C

First we have to understand rapidly that this sheme is not designed in proportion. 50


There somewhere

C

51

C

Architecture is at the edge of culture and
so at the edge of nature.
Architecture is ‘first’. 'Arke' and 'tekton'
(therefor not good or bad ........therefor
n
not ‘first’ alone)
Culture has his place in architecture. 53

C

But the scheme is circular
And it hasn’t to be so 54
It can be open

C

It is also not a line without thickness...

55

C B A

It has not to be ‘one’...
It has not to be continue...
56

So, if architecture is Oikoslogy,

Ecology is not only an environmental knowledge
It is also a ethical position over het human
being.

Oikoslogy is not only knowledge of ‘nature’

But knowledge of our abode

in and with nature

With a specific attention
For the open edge between our abode (the city lobs)
and ‘nature’ (the blue and green fingers).
58

De Lobe-city is a
Bundle of recommendations

Tjallingii wrote the scientific bundle
Of recommendations.
But architecture and ‘to architect’
Are not sciences.
Architecture and ‘to architect’
are disciplines
Architecture and ‘to architect’
Are operations accompanied
By all a system of thoughts
By an ethic
And also
By scientifical recommendations.

It is so that in the ‘Lobe-city’
One can read the signs
of a system of thoughts
And of an ethic.
So, now follows hereunder a synthesis
Of the scientific recommendations
And
A synthesis of a disciplinarian
interpretation of the ’Lobe-city’
59

Scientifically
The main issue of a ecologic way if thinking,
Is to know that life is in a chain
or in a system of strong interdependence
with the biotic and abiotic conditions.

In life, nothing is independent..

To deny this, or to forget this ,
Like our way of life is still doing,
Creates tensions
Of course in eco-logic field,
But also in the eco-nomic field
And further in the political field

It brings us to disasters and to war.

To built without necessity like there is now a project
In Genk in a ‘blue-green’ finger dividing it,
is in an other scale of course is something similar
To destroy the tropical forest,
Because it is still more and more diminishing
The capacity of interdependence of nature.

60

Scientifically

5 PARTS

1 The structure of the ‘build’ areas (City lobs)
in good relation to
the unbuild areas (City blue green fingers)

2 The stucture of the water system

3 The energy chain

4 The structure of the mobility chain

5 Materials and waste

61

Scientifically

in good relation to
the unbuild areas(City blue green fingers)

The cities hasn’t to grow, -beyond a certain scale-,
in a concentric way,
Beyond a certain scale they have to grow in a radial
way with we well defined build areas (City lobs).
Between this city lobs we have to preserve or to
develop big blue-green areas where the ground, the
air, water and the non-human biotic world can work
together with the build city. (This are the blue-green
city-fingers)

So it very important to know and to sustain in a
project that the city blue-green fingers an city lobs
have to ‘work’ together.

So a blue-green finger makes part of the city.

62

Scientifically

in good relation to
the unbuild areas (City blue green fingers)

The lobe city is not a pure theory. It is a bundle of
recommendations based on very practical examples

No polarity between city and nature
But a real multiplicity of links between city and nature.

A real network between both.

An so the city is alone anymore in nature (with nature out of
her) But the city has now to be and to live in and with the
nature.
And so nature is not alone out of the city but also in and with
the city around her .

In that sense we repeat the blue-green fingers are part of the
city.

No apartheid between City and Nature.

Particularisms of the allotments cannot be allowed anymore.
The new city knows also that the subject who lives in the city is
not a pure particular . The subject is the ‘crossing ‘of the other
subjects. The subject is also made by the city and made by the
other subjects…

I remember: this is scientific: Read Henri Laborit (neurolog)
So in the future if we want to live then we’ll live in cities and not
in allotments. The city is not the sum of particularisms but a
great crossing of subjects.

To deny that or to forget that 63
So we have to imagine a city responsible of all that and an
is harmful for mankind and attractive city of participation from where subjects are happy to
nature. share the same place.

Scientifically

in good relation to

No small worlds apart .
Mankind in future lives in cities and not in allotments.

Flanders is the most fragmented and parcelled region in
Europe (EEA, 2006).
Moreover and despite good resolutions of the ‘spatial structure
plan’ (Ruimtelijk Structuurplan Vlaanderen (RSV,1997) ) the
situation is always going worse. p (MIRA-T, 2004en BBL,
2006)

64

Scientifically

in good relation to

Centrum: size and functions

Size : Each entity has the size of human locomotion
Bike or walking.
so: less energy use.
So also: less cars more pleasant city)

Functions : Fundamental is also that one find
In all the build area mixed functions.

Work and housing together
and recreation not far.
Social diversity
Work diversity

….

65

Scientifically

in good relation to

Lobs : size and functions

Size : each entity on size of human
locomation.

Maximum 15 minutes by biking
Maximum 300 m walking to public
transportation.
So public transportation has to be designed
first
And not added at the end.
Public transportation has to be very efficient.

So: the lobs have a size
The blue-green fingers can be so bigger

Functions: It is fundamental to understand that
Only build areas with high density (at least 150
Inh/hect) can guarantee a diversity of functions
for example commercial. And all this functions
has to be reached walking or biking.
So: less cars, less noise, better air, less energy
waste….to buid in nature we have first
Before
to enhance the density of a Lob
To affect a blue-green finger is harmfull
And not to densify a lob is also harmful 66

Scientifically

in good relation to

Junction Centrum /lob

Mainly with quick and efficient public transport ,
Than biking Than enventually cars..

A bus of 20tons is less pollutant
than tens of cars of 1500 kg for 1person on board

1L fuel is 2,5 kg C02 + ….
Each day we use in the world
135 billions liters petroleum

To move with a car is harmful.

67

Scientifically

in good relation to

Need of mixed functions
and
Mixed social structure
Housing – work- recreation

‘participation’ means
To live not apart

So: not some people who decide for all the the others

So: not an oligarchy who takes the decisions
Of the politicians

So: everybody works and take part of the decisions
In the interest of everybody

So Everybody sees also everybody.
And thereof architecture gives clear signs

So no apartheid:
People live also in and with the others.
This is a very common thought
in non humanist civilisation (Buddhist)

Apartheid makes the city less pleasant
and creates distances 68
And is so polluting and harmful

Scientifically

in good relation to

BLUE GREEN FINGERS

City meets nature.
So: pleasant and healthy city
So: more people in the city
So: less transportation
So: less energy waste
So: less harmful

69

Scientifically

in good relation to

RELATION
BETWEEN CITY-LOBS AND
CITY BLUE GREEN FINGERS

The city becomes more attractive.
Fresh air by natural ventilation of the city
Fingers are parts of the city therefor.
They are parts of the city which are nature.

They clean water
They bring natural life to the city
They can be used for well controlled recreation.

The blue green fingers give also
Moe density to the lobs
And so make public transportation possible.

The lob city is compact and of high density
And her entities are radial in structure.

70

Wetenschappellijk bekeken

in good relation to

Edge/border

Long edges between lobs and fingers.
Longe edges between ‘man’ and‘nature’.

This edges are not closed borders.
But to secure them firmly
They should be indentified in an real architectural way.
(with landscape elements or buildings)
We have to fing a new architecture of the edge
Between nature and the place of mankind.

In Genk we have a beautyful possibility for this.

So, open edges but firm edges
With a gradient between
The place of man : the city
And the place of relative absence of man: the nature

A, administratif line or border is not enough
An architecture of the open edge can be a guarantee
Against harmful invasion of nature,

71

Scientifically

in good relation to

Density: a dens but not concentric city

Public transport asks 150 inh/hect
This is a minimal density
For rentability of public transport

(a public bus cost +/- 1.700€/day)

But dens city doesn’t mean a closed and somber city.
A good tip: a lot of common ‘green areas’ intricated in the
And so also for everybody
Views for everybody on common green areas.
(also 3 or 4 levels buildings)

Less particular green areas.
No gardencity allotments!
This is really a question of land policy!

Density is also efficienty
For the commercial functions (a lot of clients not far)
And it results of course in radical reduction of transport.

72

Scientifically

in good relation to

High/low dynamic gradient :

Density of the Lobs-
contrast at the edge-
gradient with nature.

In The blue green fingers are
we will find only low-dynamic
functions, as biking and
walking path, gentle
recreation, city farms. City
woods, and of course just
nature and water infiltration
facilities …

In the city lobs you find the
high dynamic functions:
Industries, commercials,
service, intense and mass
recreation …
Housing is between high-
dynamic activities and
the low-dynamic blue-green
Fingers.
73

Scientifically

2 The structure of the water-system

Water is in a chain.

Integral water management means
The alignment of all water water plans
On all levels
With a vision each time to all lower levels.

Dirty water in clean water gives dirty water
And clean water in dirty water gives also dirty water

74

Scientifically


Water is in a chain

4 types of water which have their own route:

• Rainwater (white water) is used as much as possible.
Superfluous rainwater flows to the blue green fingers
It is first retained in ponds and
Than goes slowly further.
Water have to flow slow.

• ‘Street’-water flows to wadi’s and slowly infiltrates
the ground

• Grey water is ‘cleaned almost immediately by
helophytes filter

• Black water can be used by biogas installation……

75

Scientifically


Water is in a chain

Water remains first where it is
And flows slow.

Specially in cities water has to slowdown
And that to avoid
to bring the water further to quick
in the countryside
or to loose it.

Water is considered as
An ordering principle
And ground is considered as a sponge

Rainwater is used, is retained, is infiltrated as quick
as possible, and slow down by ’buffer’ pounds

No dirty water flows to clean water.

76

Scientifically


Water is in a chain

Water remains where it is if possible
In any case water flows slow..

You have to ‘design’ a water neutral area:
You work with water you have there.

By this, dehydration of countryside is avoided.
And dehydration under the cities.

By this also submersion of countryside is prevented.
By this exhaustion of water reserve is prevented.

A lot of space so for water in the city

To deny this is to create the conditions of war….

77

Scientifically

3 The energy chain

No energy has to be wasted

So : passive buildings

City heating with heat an power plants.

Energy which falls from the sky is used immediately

-Energy saving buildings
(or even energy producing buildings)
- renewable energy
- as less as possible ‘un’renewable energy

(TRIAS ENERGETICA)

SUSTAINABILITY

78

Scientifically

4 Traffic structure

Traffic carrier

First of all the traffic carrier has to guarantee
Efficient and fluent public transport and bike traffic.
So: priority to public transports and to bikes.

Public transport is not rentable without density
And has to reachable easily (max 300m walking)
This define also the dimension of a lob.

We build in function of public transport
And not the opposite!

Optimalisation of public transport
And minimalisation of particular polluting transport

Connection walk-bike-public transport has to be well
organised and so on between public transports (bus
/train)

Dens housing districts (with parking's on the edge (3min
walk ) and so districts with a low level of car traffic
And so more pleasant districts …..

79

Scientifically

4 Structure of traffic

MOBILITY RULES:

There is to be thought about

What are we doing
Walking?
Biking?
By public transport?
With particular car ?

And so
Where are the resources of our transport?

And so also
Where is the man with this rules of mobility

TRANSPORT

Transport is reduced as much as possible
No beans from Kenya!......
So city farms
(a farm skyscraper is already designed…)
….

80

Scientifically

5 MATERIAL AND WASTE

We try to understand how a material
in al the cyclus of his ‘life’
Is more or less polluting

Cfr E Rombaut lectures and course.

This is also a question sustainebility.

Cradle to cradle is the principle.

81

But!

The lobe city is not only a scientific model
The lobe city is also linked to
a way of thinking.….

82

The lobe-city is also linked to
a way of thinking.

The Lobe city in not only the result
Of techno-scientific requirements.

Why is it important
to understand and to assimilate
that way of thinking

Because scientific knowledge is never enough.
The greenhouse effect is known scientifically since 1896.........
(Svante Arrhenius, Swedish scientist Nobel price 1903)
Techniques to resolve the ecological problem are
available quite a long time
But techniques are not enough.

Scientific and technical certainties
Are never convincing enough in life.

Man has also to ‘believe’ or to be ‘physically convinced’.
It is a way of life and a way of thinking
Which will have to change.

Thereby we know also that
“architecture” and to architect” are not sciences
but are disciplines which operate
with a ‘artistic’ rationality.
This artistic rationality cannot be
build up by scientific knowledge
But has to be accompanied by different sciences
and disciplines.
Therfor this studio has as title OIKOS-LOGY
And not ecology and architecture 83
Or ‘philosophy’ and architecture.

a way of thinking.

A science aims to a knowledge
Over how ‘reality’ operates

A discipline aims to a truth
over
A structure in the ’real'.

It is so than man
Hasn’t
a desire to know everything
But much more
a desire to believe enough to
It’s important to know that
and
to manage with that .84

a way of thinking.

At this time still
Man believe that
The human being
Is central in nature
Is of a higher level of importance,
Or that his position is finnaly out of nature
He is not thinking that he is a part of nature.
That is the 'humanistic' philosophy.

That was
Initialised
In the second part of the Greek philosophy
Formalised in the renaissance
Accentuated with the French enlightenment
pathologised by the romantics
hypertrophied under the idealism
en en brought to a horrible end
By hyper-humanism in the XX th century.

The lob city is the expression
of a human philosophy.
Where man knows that he is a part of nature
With specific properties.

85

a way of thinking.


Humanism believes
That there is nothing better than the human being.
A humane way of thinking
Believes that the human being can improve
-even structurally !-
And that so,
Man has to live with open edges in and with nature
in open, intense, nuanced and graduated
Interference.

Or that the human being can
take in itself something of the other
(More than to build it up
only with his own ‘intelligence’ only).

86

a way of thinking.

The lobe-city is the expression

It is an architect who synthesize
A human way of thinking
Louis Kahn:
'Purity lies in the incompletion.'

The humanistic thinker would say
'Purity lies in the completion'
Or mankind is sufficient in itself.

But in facts it is flagrant
Mankind is not sufficient in itself.

In the lobe-city we can see
That difference between human and humanism
By a not centralistic city
But by an open radial city working
in and with nature.

87

a way of thinking.


Man is not central anymore...
Man is not the only master anymore…..
Man is not everywhere anymore.....
Man is not spread every where anymore....
Man is not parcelling the world anymore.
Man lives not anymore as a particle
outside the city

Man lives in the city.
The Lobe-city is a city.

The lobe-city is a city but in a new type of city
Where man needs the man and nature.
The lobe city is a city in
open, intense, nuanced, graduated
en well controlled interference
with all his environment.

88

a way of thinking.

The lobe-city is a city
The lobe-city is a city in

OPEN

the hedges
of the lobs or fingers
Are without border line
In mathematics this is called an
'open ensemble'.

And by this
The city comes in the nature
and with nature in well controlled contact
And nature is coming in the city
And with the city in well controlled contact.
But both are absolutely identifiable.

89

a way of thinking.


Intense:

Very long borders till in de heart city
Who remains still very dens.

90

a way of thinking.


Nuanced:
Form of lobs has really to do
with what is given by the environment
We see different types of lobs
Articulated in diverse manners
With and in the city.

91

a way of thinking.


graduated

The edges of the lobs
which are also the edges of the fingers
Have a width in gradient
From high to low dynamic functions
And even to no-function

92

a way of thinking.


Well controlled

The Lobe-city has a scale and has sizes
in each of her entities.

93

The lob city is also linked to
a way of thinking.

The lob city is a city in

interference

The lobs and the fingers
Have the same morphology
The lobs and the fingers
Are in con-versation
The fingers bring the nature to the city and
The lobs bring the human being to the nature
But all that in
a clear distinction between city and nature.

94

a way of thinking:

Architecture is
‘in and with’
nature,

Or
Architecture
Takes in her
Something of the nature

95

‘in and with’

We will so design not in the nature or ‘outside’ or ‘op den buiten’ as….
But in and with nature. 96

The lobe-city

As unique reference

Not as a model
To copy in a formalistic way.

But to be considered
As a unique bundle of
recommendations

The lobe-city
Asks us

Where can the human being stay

And that with high level of nuance

Good place to
High and low dynamic function
(
(also with 'no-function' spaces)

Good place for
City and social facilities
To enhance contact between people

Density and size of the build areas

Gradient and architectural structure of the edge
Of the finger and the lob.

Transportation structure (all type)

Water structure
Production of energy
Materials

But before all
Architecture of this new type of city for an open
Human being lying in incompletion
