Making an ATLAS for the Campine region.

The Campine is a region in constant transition. Throughout history all kinds of large-scale ambitions and dreams were projected on the sandy heathland. Often tabula rasa, with all its consequences. Today ambitious projections are again unleashed on the region. To avoid the mistake of historical tabula rasa, AR-TUR starts together with the University of Antwerp a project that maps the identity of Kempen. The project aims to provide a basic resource - in the form of an atlas - that the maps qualities of the area clear so that future projectscan anchor and are inspired by this document. Maarten Van Acker is the editor of the atlas. The cartographic expertise is contracted to the Dutch architecture firm MUST. The photography is provided by Filip Dujardin. The Atlas is published in Public Space.
