Designing Territorial Metabolism
The concepts of metabolism, ecosystems, and circular economy are currently challenging the discipline of urbanism. The book questions the European foundation of urbanism in relation to the challenge of territorial metabolism and combines theoretical contributions with cutting edge design proposals for European metropolitan regions.
African Cities Through Local Eyes
This book provides readers with a wide overview of place-based planning and design experiments addressing such powerful transformations in the African built environment. This continent is currently undergoing fast paced urban, institutional and environmental changes, which have stimulated an increasing interest for alternative architectural solutions, urban designs and comprehensive planning experiments. The international and balanced array of the collected contributions explore emerging research concepts for understanding urban and peri-urban processes in Africa, discuss bottom-up planning and design practices, and present inspirational and innovative co-design methods and participatory tools for steering such change through public spaces, sustainable services and infrastructures. The book is intended for students, researchers, decision-makers and practitioners engaged in planning and design for the built environment in Africa and the Global South at large.

The Practice Turn in Architecture: Brussels after 1968
What makes a city? What makes architecture? And, what is to be included in the discussions of architecture and the city? Attempting to answer such ambitious questions, this book starts from a city’s specificity and complexity. In response to recent debates in architectural theory around the agency and locus of critical action, this book tests the potential of criticality through-practice. Rather than through conceptual and ideological categorisations, it studies how architecture and criticality work within specific circumstances. Brussels, a complex city with a turbulent architectural and urban past, forms a compelling case for examining the tensions between urban politics, architectural i...
The Routledge Handbook of Infrastructure Design
The Routledge Handbook of Infrastructure Design explores the multifaceted nature of infrastructure through the global lens of architectural history. Infrastructure holds the world together. Yet even as it connects some people, it divides others, sorting access and connectivity through varied social categories such as class, race, gender, and citizenship. This collection examines themes across broad spans of time, raises questions of linkage and scale, investigates infrastructure as phenomenon and affect, and traces the interrelation of aesthetics, technology, and power. With a diverse range of contributions from 33 scholars, this volume presents new research from regions including South and ...
Alfredo Arribas
The Barcelona-based Spanish architect Alfredo Arribas (born 1954) is known far beyond the borders of his country. He found international acclaim especially as a designer and interior decorator. The architectural works presented in this book are located in Spain, Japan, China, Germany, France, Belgium and Italy.Arribas, however, not only impresses with his creation of important buildings all over the world but also with his strong ambitions for urban planning and his abilities. The geographic focal points of the book are at the same time contextual. Arribas` buildings in Barcelona are closely connected with the Olympic Games of 1992. His public buildings in the Far East create new spaces of social life. His buildings and projects are dedicated to leisure culture in various European cities (Frankfurt, Leipzig, Paris, Antwerp, etc.), and his apartment houses in Spain express a new Spanish culture of living.

Voitures de société et mobilité durable
Le point sur les voitures de société en Belgique, leurs usagers et leurs impacts. La voiture de société est, sans aucun doute, un des avantages de toute nature (ATN) les plus fréquemment proposés par les entreprises à leurs employés.

Cet ouvrage, qui rassemble les travaux menés dans le cadre de la chaire « Companies and Sustainable Mobility. The Company Car Debate and Beyond » du Brussels Studies Institute (BSI), se penche sur ces questions et les dépasse en ouvrant le débat sur les alternati...
Altstadtneubau in Brüssel und Lyon
Zur selben Zeit, als die brasilianische Regierung mit dem Bau ihrer neuen Hauptstadt Brasília die Abkehr von jeglicher Traditionsorientierung im Städtebau zementierte, vollzog sich in Brüssel eine entgegengesetzte Entwicklung. Auf Beschluss des Gemeinderats erhielt die belgische Hauptstadt ab 1960 ein dezidiert historisches Aussehen. Kurz darauf setzte im französischen Lyon eine ähnliche Entwicklung ein. Handelt es sich in beiden Fällen um den besonders frühen Ausdruck von Fortschrittskritik und damit um zwei bislang unbeachtete Wegbereiter der nostalgischen Wende, die sich ab den 1970er Jahren in den Städten ganz Europas vollzog? Dominik Scholz eröffnet mit einer innovativen Akteur...
