Institutions and the City
A groundbreaking study of architecture's role in the establishment, identification, and perpetuation of public institutions that shape both societies and individual lives. Institutions--for example the state, the church, the army, the judiciary, the bank, the university, or marriage--organize social relations. As social structures, they regulate societies according to various practices, rites, and rules of conduct, and guide our actions by delimiting what is possible and thinkable. Institutions' individual scope depends on how a society understands them. They are in perpetual mutation and thus form complex entities. Architecture plays an essential role in the establishment, identification, a...
Belgian Architecture Beyond Belgium
This publication provides the first overview of the export of Belgian architecture. To shed light on the specificities of work produced abroad, this issue presents a general survey of this production through a selection of 25 Belgian architectural firms, amongst others; 51N4E, Buro II, Ney & Partners, Stéphane Beel Architecten and JDS Architects.
Brussels Housing
Modern urban terraced houses or row houses emerged in Europe from the 17th century onwards. Usually two to three storeys high and with a garden at the back, they formed the traditional urban block. In Brussels, this bourgeois form of housing took on a particularly varied and inspiring form – including the well-known Art Nouveau residences – and forms the DNA of the city to this day. This publication analyses 100 selected examples illustrating the emergence of the terraced house and its further development in other forms of housing. The result is a broad panorama and a history of the architecture and development of the city of Brussels with its particularly heterogenous cityscape.
Graphical Limit State Analysis
The art of structural design requires specific methods and tools. One of those consists in modelling the structural behaviour through a network of straight bars, whether in compression (struts) or in tension (ties), and in expressing its static equilibrium through classic graphic statics reciprocal diagrams: a form diagram describing the geometry of a strut-and-tie network and a force diagram representing the vector equilibrium of its nodes. When it comes to statically indeterminate structures, the lower-bound theorem of Plasticity avoids any overestimation of the load bearing capacity, which allows the designer to select one of the possible equilibrium states. Considering that a limit state...

À table, citoyens !
Tout a commencé en septembre 2016 avec la résidence d'artiste de Françoise Schein qui, entourée de femmes et d’hommes venant d’horizons multiples, tant de la communauté universitaire que de la communauté urbaine, leur a appris comment inspirer une matière, pour en faire une œuvre d’art citoyenne. Plus de 150 assiettes ont ainsi vu le jour...
Georges-Eric Lantair. (Im)pertinence
Fruit d?un travail d?investigation de plus de deux années, le livre porté par les architectes Alain Richard et Cécile Vandernoot (avec les contributions d?Aloys Beguin, Réjean Legault, Cédric Libert et Thomas Moor), apporte pour la première fois un regard critique sur la production architecturale et théorique de Georges-Éric Lantair. La question du processus analysée à la lumière des archives mais également de visites sur le terrain et de nombreux entretiens permet de situer une production complexe et singulière. La biographie de l?homme ? et surtout de l?atelier fait ressurgir des collaborations ? et des amitiés fortes ? et dresse en quelque sorte le portrait d?un paysage cult...
