About

URA is located in Brussels and is characterized by a broad spectrum of projects, varied both in scale and function. 'UR'-the name of the first city- supports a way of working. URA searches for universal, basic typologies and transforms them into a contemporary and precise identity in a specific context. The universal lies within the very specific. URA is led by two partners, Yves Malysse and Kiki Verbeeck.

LL100
Public space installation
City council Ghent
Ledeberg (Ghent), 2010 – 2015
40 m²

Within the closed urban fabric of Ledeberg, close to Ghent, a number of abstract structures will be placed in well-chosen places that inspire. A vacant lot shows the traces of occupation in the past. A pattern of wallpapers testify about the history of the plot. The structure acts as a support for the remaining wall. This white abstract element looks for interaction with the neighbourhood, and offers an orientation within the centre of Ledeberg.
