Kollektif is a design studio for landscape architecture and urban design based in Ghent (BE), founded by Björn Bracke and Joke Vande Maele. We consider landscape architecture and planning as a powerful tool to respond to the challenges of our age and enable positive change. We believe in inspirational places where people engage with the natural world to find joy and meaning.
Since 2015 Kollektif developed an extensive portfolio in the design of parks, squares, gardens, roof gardens, landscape visions, masterplanning, installations etc. We are engaged in research and education and try to root our work in theory and history in the fields of landscape architecture and urban design. Kollektif offers expertise in public space design, green design, planting design, technical execution, urban planning, participation and co-creation.
Kollektif won prizes with the ‘water garden’ for the SFEER expo (2015), the 'bicycle paradise' for the Ghent floralies (2019), the Europan 16 competition in Raismes (2021) and the Flagey square in Brussels (2021). In 2019, Kollektif was also selected as one of the promising designers by the Ghent city architect. In 2020 Björn was appointed the EMiLA Fellowship at École Nationale Supérieure de Paysage in Versailles, a position annually awarded to an emerging or already established landscape architect.
