Beschreibung
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.
Rezensionen
<p>„Das Buch kann schon jetzt als Standardwerk bezeichnet werden.“ (Friederike Meyer in <em>BAUNETZWOCHE</em>) </p> <p>*** </p> <p>„Ein wunderbares Buch! Gerald Ledent und Alessandro Porotto legen mit dem <em>Atlas of Residential Building Types</em> eine faszinierende Analyse des Brüsseler Wohnungsbaus vor, [...]“ (Ulrich Brinkmann in <em>Bauwelt</em>, 10.2023) </p> <p>*** </p> <p>„Das Buch von Ledent und Porotto bietet mit seinen Analysen und Vergleichsuntersuchungen des Bestands für das Weiterdenken eine wichtige Grundlage.“ (Sebastian Redecke in <em>Bauwelt</em>, 04.2024) </p> <p>*** </p> <p>„The book offers a broad panorama and a history of the architecture and urban development of Brussels.“ (<a href="https://uclouvain.be/fr/facultes/loci/brussels-housing-atlas-of-residential-building-types.html">https://uclouvain.be/fr/facultes/loci/brussels-housing-atlas-of-residential-building-types.html</a> [25.07.2023]) </p> <p>*** </p> <p>„The book provides an insight into the variety of housing forms in Brussels over the years. […] This superimposition of typical Belgian housing solutions is a formal and poetic chaos, but it could also provide answers to future challenges, such as the diversification of the demography. May this book be a tool to understand, perpetuate and invent new forms of living in Belgium.“ (<a href="https://welovebrussels.org/2023/07/monography-architecture-housing-brussels/">https://welovebrussels.org/2023/07/monography-architecture-housing-brussels/</a> [25.07.2023]) </p> <p>*** </p> <p>„On trouve ici une pléthore de points de référence qui permettent de réfléchir à ce que l’avenir pourrait réserver. Quiconque voudra désormais parler de l’habitat « typiquement bruxellois » ne pourra que difficilement passer à côté de cet ouvrage.“ (Pieter T'Jonck in: <a href="https://www.a-plus.be/fr/review/lhabitat-a-bruxelles-hier-et-demain/">https://www.a-plus.be/fr/review/lhabitat-a-bruxelles-hier-et-demain/</a> [24.05.2023]) </p> <p>„Je krijgt hier een overvloed aan referentiepunten die toelaten na te denken over waar het in de toekomst heen kan gaan. Wie het nog over ‘typisch Brusselse’ huisvesting wil hebben zal dit werk hoe dan ook moeilijk kunnen negeren.“ (Pieter T'Jonck in: <a href="https://www.a-plus.be/nl/review/wonen-in-brussel-geschiedenis-en-toekomst/"
