Peachlab is a Belgian architecture collective, created in 2016 by a multidisciplinary team of architects, engineers and photographers. Starting from the Third Landscape of Brussels, the collective establishes its practice between the everyday and the extraordinary; between reality and fiction.
Peachlab develops, among other things, in-situ interventions, theoretical projects, false applications for land that has already disappeared or workshops at the university.
Peachlab means experience; propose an idea for a place; developing ideas as possibilities evolve; take advantage of the diversity offered by people and places.
Delva is a place in the north of Brusels that has now disappeared. Delva is also a 400-pages journey that documents peachlab’s interventions on the site before its disappearance.
Photographs, historical ducuments, plans, architectural drawings, essays, poems or comic strip tell the story of a place where memory and fiction (‘fiction’ understood as what has not yet happened) are intertwined. This material constitutes a ‘Satiration’ as Charles Olsen defines it: “to dig one thing or a place or man until you yourself know more about abt that than is poe to any other man”.
