” With Te Pas / Onpas : Architectural Night Walks 04.20 – 05.20, architects Glenn Lyppens, Koen Pauwels and Olivier Roels present a personal report of an intensive nighttime inspection tour through Antwerp’s urban space. This during a unique period in its history: the lockdown between April and May 2020.

Made up of eight logbooks, the same number of walks are reconstructed on the basis of an orienting map and a series of snapshots of spatial scenes that aroused interest at a certain moment – in the middle of the night – and which could be captured with smartphones.

This publication is an inspiring document for anyone who is broadly interested in (Antwerp) architecture and urban space. She may even succeed in being a viral infection that seriously infects the reader and, above all, prompts the reader to go on a (re)discovery journey in their own city and to form an opinion about it based on personal interest. A plea for a revaluation of the (night) walk. “
