About Parfois
If it was up to us, all the best design in the world would be posted within the Parfois Portfolio… But… its not up to us. Stumbling the web we often bump into things worth sharing. The world wide web is so full off great things that will never end up in our portfolio, but which we want the world to see. For this we created our blog. At this moment there 4 of us blogging on a regular basis.Work, studies and social life makes that there are weeks with a lot of posts, and weeks without. But we’ll do our best in bringing you the nicest shit on a acceptable basis.

Dear visitors, Parfois has been offline for a couple of days now. We moved to a new server, and things took longer than we planned. Right now the Blog is back online, but there are still some things to configure. We expect to be up and running again on monday. Thank you all for your patience.

As a master-project I am organizing a competition round the Cathedral of Antwerp. In this concept architecture and sculpture gets merged together. The assignment embodies the disarming question: Design a second tower for the Cathedral of Antwerp. The given fact of a missing element in an existing structure and city-layout inspires to an autonomic completion for everybody. By organizing a competition or international brainstorm I would like to put the emphasis on the absence and by doing so emphasize the Cathedral itself. The contestants receive a picture of the Cathedral where they realize their design in a sort of overlay. I don’t want to exclude anybody, it will be a truly open competition. The results can be a 3D render, a ruff concept or a simple black marker drawing. The design can vary from inflatable structures to melted towers. I am communicating to all major European universities in the departements of Architecture, Graphic design and Visual Arts and true a large international cultural work-field. A selection of submissions will be exposed in a traveling exhibition and they will all be published (in the extend of the realizable). This publication wil showcase a big diversity of filled in absence and will function again as source of inspiration.
So start designing and submit your work! Right here at, Designing Absence.

Pieterjan loves girls, drawing and parfois. These three elements combined give a great advertisement campaign.
So in the future, be like Pieterjan; “Spread the Word!”
