Charles Vandenhove, Projects, 1995-2000
The work of Dutch architect Charles Vandenhove has always evinced a tension between his Modernist training and a desire to revise or even reject that heritage, but the past five years have seen him returning to his Modernist education, evolving towards a more austere formal vocabulary. Charles Vandenhove: Recent Work 1995-2000 clearly charts this development, in such striking examples as the Staar complex in Maastricht, the renovation of the Koninklijke Schouwburg and the Huygensgracht housing development in The Hague. This monograph also addresses Vandenhove's standing as an insider-outsider who is both highly esteemed internationally and regarded as something of a maverick.

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 i...
Something Completely Different
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 ecolo...
