A Good Idea is a collaborative exhibition by Stand Van Zaken (BE), a state of play that brings together drawings by architects from around the world, serving as instructions for locally crafted artifacts. These peculiar objects, born of global imagination and local interpretation, are explicit in their construction yet indeterminate in their use, loosely exploring themes of domesticity and the often-overlooked rituals of everyday life.

Together, the sketches and objects temporarily camp in the gallery space, creating an austere yet joyous interior – a rich scenography crafted with care and mindful of waste. Here, architecture celebrates collaboration, directness, ingenuity, and the beauty of bringing ideas to life.
