Open Call 21Success through innovationThe Open Call is a success. Since this selection procedure was introduced by bOb Van Reethabout ten years ago, the Open Call has developed into a classic for offi cial assignments inFlanders. But it is sometimes in danger of becoming a victim of its own success. After all, atool that is used too much can become blunted. The diversity of assignments demonstrateshow easy the format is to use, but also challenges its limits. The Open Call is not simply arepository into which all offi cial assignments can be placed. If this were so, the selection procedurewould not be so different from a normal request for a quotation and false expectationswould arise. Some assignments require and deserve a different approach. For example, byintervening at a different point in the process of design and construction, or from a different,more legally-oriented, angle.So the Open Call should be a tool with which to deal critically and innovatively with today’s architecturalchallenges. Let us lighten and sharpen up the Open Call so that both the designersand clients again face a challenge. After all, the offi cial clients who aim for architectural qualitydeserve effi cient service and the best results. And that requires a refreshing and innovativeapproach. The Team of the Flemish Government Architect certainly wants to tackle this issueby the time of Open Call 22, and we are counting on you, the designers, to show us part of theway, by yourselves also taking a fresh approach to the Open Call.Peter SwinnenFlemish Government ArchitectThis Open Call once again includes a number of projects from the school building catch-upoperation. They are model projects which in various ways test the potential and limitations ofbeing an offi cial client. They are included in the Open Call as DBFM projects, which makesthem the bearers of shared aspirations. But here too there is a task for us, in the further refi -nement and possible expansion of the tools we can offer the government to watch over publicspace and architecture.The selection for this Open Call reads like a record of the current state of our operations. Theprojects included are on the one hand the result of the efforts of my predecessors, but on theother hand they also point the way to topics that will come to the fore in the years to come. Theassisted living centres and development plans for care campuses herald a major pattern forthe near future. The social sector is also well represented: this provides an opportunity to reflect on how one can anchor social services in the urban fabric, and which new typologies arepossible for group housing. So in both sectors a lot of designing and thinking will be required,and that will undoubtedly need a coordinated and broadminded architectural policy.Open Call 21 January 2011 - forword
