Abstract

De aantrekkingskracht van steden overstijgt culturen, periodes, landsgrenzen en geldt niet alleen bewoners en bezoekers, maar ook filosofen, historici, architecten, schrijvers, sociologen en stedenbouwkundigen. Stadsperspectieven vertolkt uiteenlopende stemmen en ziet de geschiedenis van de Europese stedenbouw als een verzameling en samenspel van tradities en benaderingen, van ervaringen en disciplines. Twintig still frames belichten elk afzonderlijke fragmenten van Europese stadsgeschiedenis. Van Duitsland als achtergronddecor van een steeds migrerende trans-Atlantische stijl tot het via Engelse aristocraten binnensluipen van Nederlandse stadsnatuur, en van een tweespalt in het Italiaanse modernisme tot de atlas en survey als opmaat naar de hedendaagse stedenbouw. Met bijdragen van onder meer Donatella Calabi, Sylvain De Bleeckere, Bernard Colenbrander, Michiel Dehaene, Kees Doevendans, Esther Gramsbergen, Han Lörzing, Noor Mens, Jacob Voorthuis en Cor Wagenaar.

Abstract

Issues du Mouvement moderne, les villes de La Grande Motte (1974), Brasília (1960) et Chandigarh (1953) se caractérisent chacune par des architectures assez distinctes. Ces trois œuvres du patrimoine contemporain nous interpellent sur la place de l'homme dans la cité et la promesse d'une utopie. Lumière, espaces consacrés, liberté de mouvement permettent une disponibilité, pour rêver, être habité. L'interaction entre les photographies de Stéphane Herbert et la poésie de Carole Lenfant invite à une promenade urbaine ponctuée par les jeux d'ombre et la densité des couleurs. Accord architectural, temporalité des corps, le voyage commence autour des pyramides de Jean Balladur, passe par les coupoles d'Oscar Niemeyer puis se termine sur l'esplanade du Capitole de Le Corbusier. Des plages de la Méditerranée à la nouvelle civilisation qu'est le Brésil jusqu'à l'Inde immémoriale : invitation à méditer sur trois villes anticonformistes et oniriques, trois villes ouvertes et universelles. Born from the Modern Movement, the cities of La Grande Motte (1974), Brasília (1960) and Chandigarh (1953) are each characterised by their distinctive architecture. These three works of contemporary heritage question man's place in the city and the promise of utopia. Light, dedicated spaces and freedom of movement provide a readiness to dream, to be lived in. The interaction between Stéphane Herbert's photographs and the poetry of Carole Lenfant invites one to an urban promenade punctuated by games of shadows and the density of the colours. Architectural harmony, temporality of the body, the voyage begins around Jean Balladur's pyramids, passes by Oscar Niemeyer's domes, then ends on the esplanade of Le Corbusier's Capitol. From the beaches of the Mediterranean to the new civilization that is Brazil to immemorial India: an invitation to meditate on three anticonformist and dreamlike cities, three cities that are open and universal.

Abstract

In the decades following World War Two, and in part in response to the Cold War, governments across Western Europe set out ambitious programmes for social welfare and the redistribution of wealth that aimed to improve the everyday lives of their citizens. Many of these welfare state programmes - housing, schools, new towns, cultural and leisure centres – involved not just construction but a new approach to architectural design, in which the welfare objectives of these state-funded programmes were delineated and debated. The impact on architects and architectural design was profound and far-reaching, with welfare state projects moving centre-stage in architectural discourse not just in Europe but worldwide.This is the first book to explore the architecture of the welfare state in Western Europe from an international perspective. With chapters covering Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, The Netherlands, Sweden and the UK, the book explores the complex role played by architecture in the formation and development of the welfare state in both theory and practice.

Abstract

The Brussels Canal Zone, one of the most dynamic areas of the city, is an example of post-industrial reconversion, where private and public actors and civil society negotiate visions on future renewal. This study looks at visions expressed in spatial planning documents from 1988 onwards and then focuses on four urban development projects: the reconversion of the Tour & Taxis site, the renewal of the Belle-Vue brewery in Molenbeek, the citizens' movement Platform Kanal and the branding project of the Canal Zone by the regional government. These visions are studied in a qualitative way using urban regime theory, discourse analysis and Lefebvre's approach on the social production of space.This book gives a detailed insight on how spatial visions are negotiated in complex urban renewal processes. It provides a transversal, historical and contemporary socio-economic geography of the Brussels Canal Zone. This work proposes a framework that is not only an analytical and comparative tool for researchers, but also an instrument of reflection for policy makers, urban professionals and social movements.
