ORG participated in the 2022 International Architecture Biennial Rotterdam, showcasing the Capping of the Antwerp Ring project. Alongside scale models detailing the interventions, we included a timeline of the entire endeavour.

This timeline represents the mobility transformation efforts of Team Intendant towards a realization of The Great Connection for the Antwerp Ring Road. The project vision creates long term, multi-generational, planning to transition the car centric ring road into a series of parks and public spaces around the city.
By capping the Antwerp ring and through the creation of new mobility networks with infrastructural interventions such as multimodal hubs, the city embraces new forms of mobility that provide an improved social and environmental quality of life.
The timeline also details the immense and intricate co-creation process that makes this project possible by creating well-supported works across a diverse stakeholder pool.
