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

"Best Buildings - Belgium is the second, extended and revised edition of the guide Belgium's Best Buildings that was first published in 2012. It is an elegant and easy to use guide for architecture fans and for everyone who is curious about architecture in Belgium. 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.

For Belgian architect Jef Van Oevelen (b. 1955) architecture is more than merely solving a technical puzzle or playing with volumes. Architecture is about materialising goals and values within a historical, sociological, political and economic reality. His internship and co-operation with the legendary Antwerp avant-garde architect Georges Baines was pivotal in the development of this vision and philosophy. Only by contextualising architecture correctly and by respecting materials, people, possibilities and boundaries one can achieve authenticity and sincerity. He has been working from these principles since 1987. Next to designing smaller projects and renovating private houses, participation in various competitions also made him familiar with large-scale projects. Something that has already resulted in contracts for schools, office buildings, libraries, cultural institutions and above all many public and social housing projects.

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.

Victor Horta (1861-1947) is considered the most prominent Belgian architect of the Art Nouveau movement. His private house in Brussels, built in 1901, is a rare example of this architectural movement that enjoyed a flourishing albeit brief heyday at the turn of the previous century. In 1990, Barbara Van der Wee was given the challenging task of restoring the house - its original architectural concept having been compromised over the years due to innumerable renovations - and of transforming it into a house-museum. In this book, she tells the story of her encounter with the architecture of the house and the various ways in which she explored Horta's home as well as his work, thoughts, and dreams. Through this personal narrative and through the text of Françoise Aubry (the director of the museum for over 30 years) the reader learns how Horta evolved into a pioneering virtuoso of Art Nouveau. In addition, the reader comes to understand how, a century later, Van der Wee gradually and almost empirically developed her own philosophy and approach to restoring this extraordinary piece of architectural heritage in Brussels.

The complex and shifting relation between regionalism and modernity With its search for purity, honesty, modesty, and ‘fitness of purpose', the late 19th and early 20th century concept of architectural regionalism is seminal to the modern movement. In later historiography, however, regionalism in Europe was neglected and even labeled ‘backward'. The origins of this drastic change of perception can be traced to the 1930s, when regionalism as a positive form gradually turned into a ‘closed' form of regionalism, a folding back on one's own region as a defence mechanism in an economically and politically turbulent decade.
