about the concept Project Burchtheuvel by Tadashi Kawamata and the students of MAD-faculty (1st out of 3, see also construction & end result)

Tadashi Kawamata (JP) builds large wooden sculptures in the open space. As he lets the local community help build his sculptures, they can be labelled as social constructions. In Borgloon, the Japanese artist worked in September 2011 for two weeks together with twenty visual art, architecture and interior design students. They built a wooden sculpture around and on top of the Burchtheuvel, a historically important place in Borgloon. They researched how the Burchtheuvel could once again play a full-fledged role in the city centre. When you ascend the artwork, you get a magnificent view of the spacious surroundings of Borgloon.
