Starting from the Top 10 lists of renowned Belgian architects, 94 buildings completed after 1900 were selected and are presented in this new edition. It features a surprising mix of buildings, from award-winning contemporary projects (such as a crematorium that stands in a seemingly endless landscape), over historical must sees (such as the Stoclet palace), up to less obvious buildings (such as a Brutalist church in West-Flanders) and breath-taking architect's homes"--Back cover.

Download or read book Belgian Architects and Their Houses written by Diane Hendrikx and published by Uitgeverij Luster. This book was released on 2011 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 17 fascinating portraits of leading Belgian architects accompanied by photographic essays of their family homes. Industrial lofts are juxtaposed with architectural gems from the 1950s; contemporary homes in the countryside with minimalistic mansions in the city Almost all architecture is designed on commission for a client. And the architect's design must always bend to the wishes or demands of that client. The situation is turned on its head, however, when the architect becomes their own client when building, renovating or redecorating their own home. All of a sudden, the architect has the freedom to give full expression to his/her vision on living and the humble home is transformed into something of a calling card. This book contains 17 such calling cards: 17 extensive reports on the lofts, apartments or houses where leading Belgian architects such as Bob Van Reeth, Juliaan Lampens, Peter Swinnen and others live. Each report is accompanied by a text in which the architect expounds his/her own vision on architecture. AUTHOR: Muriel Verbist began her career in advertising. She has worked for the past six years as an initerior stylist in the magazine sector. 217 colour illustrations
Download or read book Something Completely Different written by Christophe Van Gerrewey and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2024-07-02 with total page 327 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How architecture in Belgium, from its very beginnings, has epitomized modernity and singularity. Since the foundation of the country in 1830, architecture in Belgium has been an expression of the key issues of modern Western societies. In Something Completely Different, Christophe Van Gerrewey uses this small European country as a case study to describe, interpret, and criticize more universal spatial problems and behaviors. In seven wide-ranging essays, he looks at the activities of architects from the past two centuries to better understand political evolutions, social gaps, aesthetic considerations, housing and planning, transport and infrastructure, order and chaos, and culture and ecology. The result is a literary text full of surprises and discoveries, showing both the shortcomings and the merits of what architects do. Written as a kind of anti-guidebook, Something Completely Different appropriates certain clichés about Belgium (Baudelaire famously called Belgian monuments “counterfeits of France”), eschews the pragmatism of most guidebooks in favor of meditative, essayistic prose, and finally, cunningly, reveals that all along the subject has not been Belgium at all, but rather the nature of architecture.
Download or read book Design and Politics written by Katarina Serulus and published by Leuven University Press. This book was released on 2018-10-08 with total page 325 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The unique position of design in the political context of postwar Belgium In the postwar era, design became important as a marker of modernity and progress at world fairs and international exhibitions and in the global markets. The Belgian state took a special interest in this vanguard phenomenon of ‘industrial design’ as a vital political and economic strategic tool in the context of the Cold War and the creation of the European community. This book describes the unique position that design occupied in the political context of postwar Belgium as it analyses the public promotion of design between 1950 and 1986. It traces this process, from the first government-backed manifestations and institutions in the 1950s through the 1960s and 1970s, until design lost its privileged position as a state-backed institution, a process which culminated in the closure of the Brussels Design Centre in 1986, in the midst of the Belgian federalisation process. A key figure in this history is the policymaker Josine des Cressonnières, who played a leading role in the national and international design community and succeeded in connecting very different political worlds through the medium of design.

Book excerpt: Architect Olivier Dwek celebrates the twentieth anniversary of his firm with a new book highlighting his signature style of modern European luxury. A virtuoso of volumes and a master of light, Brussels-based architect Olivier Dwek shapes buildings and interiors that are inhabited by a timeless aura. Fluid lines and varied perspectives define monumental structures, enhancing details and contemporary art pieces in both private and public spaces, all imbued with serene elegance. Ranging from Greek vacation homes to Parisian townhouses, this volume celebrates the refined approach that marks Dwek's style while taking the reader on a journey across Europe and the world. Vibrant photographs showcase Dwek's fascination with textures and new uses for materials developed in collaboration with artists and artisans. His skilled use of light, his innate sense of symmetry, and his effortless merging of architectural elements with design details are all apparent in this volume. With texts by architecture expert Philip Jodidio, this printed journey through Dwek's buildings and interiors is bound to seduce architecture connoisseurs and curious spirits alike.

Book excerpt: Dit boek presenteert het allereerste overzicht van de jonge hedendaagse Belgische architectuur aan de hand van een selectie van twintig recente projecten van formaat, gerealiseerd door een jonge generatie veelbelovende architecten. Deze productie wordt in perspectief geplaatst door Geert Bekaert. De nestor van de Belgische architectuurkritiek gaat terug in de architectuurgeschiedenis van dit land, en laat zien hoe de nieuwe generaties zich van dogma's bevrijdt die het debat in de 20e eeuw beheersten. De jonge Belgische architecten houden niet vast aan een voorgevormd idee over wat architectuur zou moeten zijn. Ze zijn niet verbonden door één formele benadering of een culturele identiteit, maar door een nieuwe en open attitude ten opzichte van hun beroep. Vanuit de samenleving begrijpen ze dat elk project zijn plaats inneemt in een sociale en culturele context, en ze accepteren de relativiteit van architecturale oplossingen. 0Exhibition: BOZAR, Brussels, Belgium (27.9.-25.11.2012).
