Brussels Housing: Atlas of Residential Building Types
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…
The Double Role of Architecture: The Critical and Therapeutic Potency of Unbuilt Utopias
Born in periods of crises, utopias adopt a threefold structure: a critique of society, a spatial arrangement, and a new society sustained by this spatial arrangement. Accordingly, space and architecture are recognized as spatial levers to address crises and change societies.

Size matters. How does the number of dwellings affect housing co-production
Parents en cohabitat. Vers une parentalité élargie
Au travers d’une recherche qualitative sur deux projets de cohabitat en Région bruxelloise, cet article interroge les modalités d’une reconfiguration possible de la parentalité.

Dans le cohabitat, différentes stratégies sont d…

It may be conceived as an inseparable combination of spatial and socio-cultural features. Such a type sheds light on the socio-cultural character of a particular place. It enables a better understanding of the other housing forms in the place. These oth…
