Nik Naudts brings a multidisciplinary perspective to architecture and urban planning, with expertise spanning research by design and hands-on actions. His socio-artistic practice challenges traditional spatial and societal boundaries, exploring and using the potential within everyday limitations.
Naudts believes that impactful interventions are those that contribute to a brighter and broader future. Equally, he is convinced that farfetched challenges can be translated into concrete projects, actively engaging an increasingly diverse community of city dwellers. In this, language is as essential a tool as space.
He calls his approach ‘tactivism’: a more tactful form of activism that chooses connection over polarisation, curiosity over certainty, emotion over reason, vulnerability over strength, question over answer, use over expertise, and process over result.
