Book excerpt: Depuis de nombreuses années déjà, la Belgique joue un rôle important dans le domaine de l'architecture et du design. Les architectes belges, les créateurs et les designers sont connus dans le monde entier pour leurs réalisations. Dans ce livre, nous présentons des projets récents d'architectes et de designers belges qui donnent le ton : Vincent Van Duysen, Pascal Van Der Kelen, Instore, Jean-Marie Gillet, Obumex, Nathalie Van Reeth, Christine von der Becke et Hendrik Vermoortel (Buro I et II). Il s'agit aussi bien de nouvelles constructions que de projets de rénovation, qui se caractérisent par un important niveau de finition et par l'atmosphère sereine et intime qu'ils dégagent. Malgré la diversité des habitations proposées, le fil conducteur des reportages reste le même : la volonté d'atteindre une esthétique pure, une architecture (Intérieure) qui recherche l'essentiel au travers de formes pures et de matériaux chaleureux.

Download or read book Contemporary Housing Issues in a Globalized World written by Padraic Kenna and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-05-13 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The globalization of housing finance led to the global financial crisis, which has created new barriers to adequate and affordable housing. It presents major challenges for current housing law and policy, as well as for the development of housing rights. This book examines and discusses key contemporary housing issues in the context of today’s globalized housing systems. The book takes up the challenge of developing a new paradigm, working towards the possibility of an alternative future. Revolving around three constellations of writing by diverse contributors, each chapter sets out a clear and developed approach to contemporary housing issues. The first major theme considers the crisis in mortgage market regulation, the development of mortgage securitization and comparisons between Spain and Ireland, two countries at the epicentre of the global housing market crisis. The second thematic consideration focuses on housing rights within the European human rights architecture, within national constitutions, and those arising from new international instruments, with their particular relevance for persons with disabilities and developing economies. The third theme incorporates an examination of responses to the decline and regeneration of inner cities, legal issues around squatting in developed economies, and changes in tenure patterns away from home-ownership. This topical book will be valuable to those who are interested in law, housing rights and human rights, policy-making and globalization.

Download or read book Belgium written by Bernard A. Cook and published by Peter Lang. This book was released on 2002 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although Belgium has only been an independent state since the 1830s, it has a long and complex past. This history is essential for understanding the complexities of issues that led to a devolution of the unitary Belgian state into a federation of linguistically based regions. In addition to the elements that contributed to Belgium's particular political evolution, the history which is traced in this book is a composite of many themes of broad historical interest and importance. Belgium: A History covers the gamut of Belgian history through dramas of religious and cultural conflict, intense localism, state building, uneven development, divergent class interests, war and domination, and finally, integration into a larger European community.

Book excerpt: The Giannettis have developed a home design style that embraces age, patina, weathered and worn surfaces, and rough surfaces. Patina Style is a color palette, a romance with subtlety, an attraction to natural materials and architectural details. It is at once old-world, contemporary, and mildly industrial. Patina Style gives insight into materials choices, methods and treatments that result in spaces that celebrate beauty in the old, the imperfect, the slightly roughed-up.

Download or read book The Art of Living in Brussels written by Fiametta d'Aremberg Frescobaldi and published by Lannoo Publishers. This book was released on 2012 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An exclusive private itinerary leads the reader to the discovery of the refined style that characterises the places where life is lived in Brussels today. The Art of Living in Brussels reveals different facets of Belgium's capital and highlights the surprising mixture of classicism and contemporary style, of magnificence and minimalism that distinguish this cosmopolitan European city awarded UNESCO world heritage status owing to the stately architecture of Grande Place, heart of the metropolis. The city is renowned for its blend of gothic art, art nouveau and art deco, as well as for its medieval architecture, in a miscellany of different aesthetics where the splendid sixteenth and seventeenth century Flemish and Walloon mansions complement the delicate, almost mystic art nouveau style, whose extraordinary forerunner, Victor Horta, is a native son of Brussels. Author Fiametta d'Aremberg Frescobaldi offers a novel journey that takes the reader through some thirty homes designed by famous names and located in different areas of the city and its environs. Thus we are privy to the living quarters of passionate art collectors, seeing with our own eyes that the taste and personal history of those dwelling there is in perfect keeping with the distinguishing spirit of the capital: a passion for art. Shown for the first time ever, these exclusive places are captured in lovely pictures by photographer Jean Pierre Gabriel, who interprets them in a way that reflects their refined taste. Designers and artists featured include: Axel Vervoordt, Michael Borremans, Jan Fabre, Christine Bekaert, Anatoly Stolnikoff, Christophe Decarpentrie, Edouard Vermeulen, Jean-Michel Wilmotte, Adrien Blomme, Marc Corbiau and Bataille and Ibens. ILLUSTRATIONS: 250 colour
