On Saturday October 1 Decoratelier unveils 17 mouvements in the framework of nuitblanche.lab art+people. Around the '5 blocs' on the Papenvest/Rue du Rempart des Moines, they designed sports facilities for and with the inhabitants of the social housing blocks. Camille Thiry of DA spent the past 10 months asking them what movements they want to do, what muscles they want to train, and working with sports coaches and therapists. Together, they created a gym with no center, no target group, no average size - 17 movement spaces created by and for specific bodies with specific postures, dreams and pains. Who will have to adapt? To who?

FLOW, the public outdoor swimming pool that Decoratelier Jozef Wouters built for POOL IS COOL, has been chosen as one of the 5 finalists for the European Prize for Urban Public Space, out of 326 entries. 'As a simple, low-cost and modular system that can easily be built by many hands, it is a good example of how everyone can participate in creating an active, healthy public space.'
