Building Castles in the Sky

With Building Castles in the Sky, Gouvernement, along with a group of creators, transforms the spatial desires of a young generation of Ghent residents into distinctive creations within the city.

From a rich source of youthful imagination, a number of artists translate both the most common and the most unique ideas. How do you create an endless scarf that keeps the whole street warm together? Where in the city do you recreate your favorite video game on a life-size scale? And what if the city was an amusement park? As architects and master builders, the young people direct the artists in this process.

All works are combined into a walking route in the northern edge of Ghent, with CAMPO boma as the central meeting place.
